| Comment | If an employer sees you'll work for free, they won't think "here's a good diligent worker, let's give them a shot", they'll think "here's a sucker who we can get as much out of with no resistance".
As someone else said: know your worth. I realise you're young, so don't be despondent. You're a worker, and bosses need you more than you'll ever need them.
Sometimes it'll be more subtle things like asking you to stay back "an extra few minutes to tidy up", or "we're all a family here, we can't afford to give you any more", or "you should be grateful for the opportunities we're giving you!", or "you don't need gloves for that, it's perfectly safe, hurry up we've got customers!" - if they can take advantage of you they will.
Write things down, join a union as soon as you can (Unite probably if you're working hospitality jobs), and *know your worth*. Hope the next place you try is better, pal. ✊ |
