Employment

5,5€ an hour according to my calculations.

The first hour of work every work day (4 a week) is used to cover the bus tickets and buying breakfast during work.

At least my workplace isn't too exigent with the work I do (since they get my work literally for free lol, the state pays my wage) and they let me go home half an hour early.

I'm pretty sure my salary comes from the government and not the company. It's supposed to be a remunerated internship (I think it translates to that) and we are told that there doesn't exist an employer-employee relationship between the company and us.

So I'm pretty sure the company is just getting free labour.

Also it's been like a month and a half and I haven't seen a cent of my salary 😑

I'm curious to know how common 'bullshit jobs' are among the Lemmygrad community.

I made it a while back but I forgor until SovereignState's post reminded me
