I have a university education, work experience, skills and talents. My labor and talents are worth something. I'll be damned if some business is going benefit from free labor from me. Now even with an education, past work history and skills all I can find is low paying BS work and then when I get an occasional interview for a decent position they question why I've not worked in my field for almost 3 years now and then turn me down because of that. It's a vicious cycle of stupidity.
CNN is a fucking JOKE for publishing that article. But I have thought that for about 2 years, when I was once watching their news program and SCIENTOLOGIST commercials came on. I could not fucking believe my eyes.
Please, if you still have a link to this article I would appreciate it. That author should be fired, and then a mob of people should beat him/her to within an inch of their life. That startup should be BOYCOTTED until it goes out of business. Thoughtless people, unbelievable.
@shadowfaxx1 Yes, I still have the link + just posted it in description box below this video. Sorry, should have done this before. YouTube will not let you post active links in the comment section .
@truthfinder2175 The corporate sector elites view high unemployment as VERY beneficial, because it drives down all wages in the long run. Once people get desperate enough, they will accept jobs with much wages, not to mention jobs without benefits - and this is already starting to happen.
Involuntary servitude is obviously problematic, but voluntary servitude is permissible. If informed consent is given, what weight does complaint of ones chosen condition carry? Why not just quit?
If governmental authority is set above the individual’s right to choose, do not subject citizens necessarily loose the freedom of choice?
If a “right” is granted, is that “right” not reduced to a mere privilege? Is govt to be mommy and daddy or, are we to be responsible for our OWN decisions?
Interviewer says in hushed tones to applicant with a wink "If you slip $10,000 under the table to me, I'm sure we could fast track you into our 'work for no pay program'!!" Things have been like that for some time in depressed areas. It's all MATRIX bullsh*t! From the day we're born, we're promised better prospects for sacrifices we must make first - with no guarantees. Now the price we're told we must pay is more outrageous than ever. Anyone who says otherwise is drinking coolaid.
One last thing ... someone should tell her, "Lady, go fuck yourself, I "ain't" nobody's FREAKIN' slave, and you're one college degree beyond sanity ... Asshole!"
(LOL ... Excuse my 'French' ... but the content lit a fire under my butt ... the unmitigated GALL of the whole damn idea nauseates me. It would be laughable were it not for the fact that it's real.)
It sounds like that woman looking for "free" employees is trying to pay-off her own student loan debt built-up while she was wasting her time & money getting a Master's in Business.
There are wayyy toooo many MBA's and not enough "DIY's".
LMAO ... Dang, Ella ... I grew up in NYC ... if I didn't hear "fuck" in every other sentence, I would have started to look for a sign that said, "You have entered 'The Twilight Zone'", and expected to see Rod Serling standing in the corner narrating my life. :)
You don't even take 5 minutes to sort through common knowledge and basic facts to come here and criticize Ella who's clearly spent night after night trying to understand what is going to make videos informing others. You won't even make videos of your own, you just troll and troll and troll.
It is exactly because of people like you America is a leviathan of retards that can barely stay conscious long enough to eat a full meal, let alone earn a full income. They hardly care enough about themselves to learn the ways of the world. There are too many people in America that don't deserve what is happening to them because of people like you for me to sit here and act like I have some incredibly insignificant amount of respect for people like you, I don't.
If you would have criticized Obama for the endless plethora of failed policies and philosophies he's furthered I would have agreed with you, but you come out strong with your hillbilly dialect and your fucking right vs left rhetoric, I won't refrain from any amount of disrespect. You deserve every bit of rough talk you get for being the burnt out no mind prick that you are. When things go wrong I go into learn mode, I increase my understanding, you probably go to church and pray it'l all be ok.
@55ella2007k Yeah sorry. I've watched you long enough to know you have your head on right, I wouldn't ever say anything like that to you. And I love your videos.
The bad news: the scumbags that have exploited labor thru-out human history are alive and well in america.
The good news: all these abuses will lay the foundation for a resurgence of labor unions in the future. Forty years of anti-union/anti-labor mind control and conditioning will need to be overcome first, but these elites always over-reach with their abuses and this time it will not be different. Call me optimistic but this is how I see it unfolding.
This has been happening in the culinary world forever. Big name chefs like Thomas Keller and Ferran Adria get cooks who are willing to work for the resume.Doesn't exactly even the playing field.

You cant get past red and blue yet, you're not even at that level, you haven't even began to see beyond dark and light, you're just another ignorant fuck who probably can't tell their bill of rights from the fucking menu at Bonanza, stupid ass hillbilly.
This is just taking advantage of a bad economy and people need to wise up. I've hired a lot of people in my day and having a "internship" with another company didn't float my boat BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HIRED at that company. Get smart, if any of you out there think interning is a good thing and do it, for Christ Sake don't put "sucker" by listing experience as a intern. List that in the education section of your resume.
WTF!!!??? In this day and age, and with our current laws, asking the "hungry" to work for free = slavery. Who the hell are these people? This is not volunteerism for a not-for-profit organization, it's illegal SLAVERY for private profit. Until housing, food, education, health care, etc, etc, etc is free, there can be none of this working for "free."
@55ella2007k It's ok, I finally found it. I think what made me the angriest when I read was the one person who said she puts "applicants" through not only an online questionaire and a phone interview, but also three face to face interviews! All of that BS for free labor? Like she is giving these people some great opportunity? This is nothing more than a new form of serfdom. They want to turn this country into a corporate feudal state.
Wow - I thought things were rugged where I work! There's a place for short-term, low-paid internships for college students working on a degree, but, . . . I'm shocked at CNN's comment that "unfortunately" laws exist making it hard to employ people for free. Contracts? I don't know that they'd be enforceable in court, because the law says both parties have to exchange something for a contract to exist. High competition for payless jobs sure says something about our culture.
You don't think Bill Clinton PAID for sex, do you?
People are locked into a power hierarchy established by tenure, 'school of hard knocks', credentials, licensing, and worst of all-- social/political network. There are dues and courtesies expected. Once in-- it's difficult to leave whole. Working for free is not such a bad initiation, or selection process for this type of structure. A climber will pay the dues for the perceived benefits later up the line.
@55ella2007k You and most want fairness from the start, but we all know life is not fair. Some are willing to work under seemingly unfair conditions for the potential to advance their dreams. A fair-minded person may not be cut out for certain fields. Education fulfills many goals and improves many situations, but for many education is about obtaining a credential. what about motivation? Does education assure motivated workers?
@carefulcarpenter No, an education CAN and should provide critical thinking skills, such as recognizing that you are being exploited, when you ARE being exploited. Education should NEVER function as some sort of job-training program as its ultimate aim. Quite the opposite. It should impart an awareness beyond one's own circumstances or life-styles. Sadly, most universities have become nothing but TRAINING programs for future jobs. This is NOT what education should be about.
@55ella2007k I fully agree with you here. As far as training-- I've never seen it on the job. As a production manager I did some training, but the boss called me on it-- he said we were not running a learning institution--if a man could not cut it he was gone. Later a guy who was laid off came and thanked me-- he landed a supervisory job from what he learned from working with me. He was an hispanic from the Mission District of SF who otherwise would NEVER have made it as a supervisor.
He made something of his life because I taught him how to believe in himself-- and how to treat people. They called me "the Great Randini" at that company because I made journeymen out of 22 year olds. The bosses NEVER knew what my secrets were.
Respect and example. Show them respect; believe in them; be a consistent example. No power trips.
Do your homework; and work with the men/women so that they can watch how to do it better-- but let them decide how THEY can do it best. People will amaze you with their hidden talents if you don't hinder their spirit.
@55ella2007k You are correct about the purpose of education. Universities are under seige by those who seek to turn them into nothing more than vocational training schools. When I was going to university I was astounded by the large number of some of my fellow students who struggled horribly b/c it seemed to be the first time they had ever had to do any real critical thinking. Many took challenges from professors as personal attacks, like they had never had their work critiqued before.
@55ella2007k I also can see some benefits to working for free--up to 20 hours per week-- for a firm that could advance my goals, assuming that I worked at an income producing position elsewhere. A FREE job would be easy to leave and likely the management and co-workers would be exceptionally pleasant.
Let's say an inventor or a free energy device was trying to get a venture off the ground but had limited investment capital, or a talented artist working on a special non-commercial project.
There are many situations where contacts, client list, resources, location, etc. could be highly advantageous to an unpaid employee-- or simply the fact that a person could get a foot in the door to an industry that otherwise would be off limits. I might demand a fair expense account and/or access to the facilities, and possibly a vehicle.
@carefulcarpenter Yes... in the short run, this might be true. And obviously, you are a person of integrity and ethics. But what you ignore, because you do not live in this type world, is that ethics have completely gone out the window with globalization. There no ethics in the global financial industry, because their entire aim is to make ever higher profits for fewer + fewer people. I admire your integrity... but this is NOT the way big corporations think. Humans are abstract to them.
@carefulcarpenter Again... you are missing the bigger picture here. The financial world is NOT interested in true innovation. Their only goal is to make a FINANCIAL profit for their biggest share-holders. Sure, I'd love to volunteer for some renewable energy 'venture' - but the very essence of volunteering is that I get to choose the terms, my working hours and the investment of my time. I should not be pressured into this, simply because it looks good on some resume.
@55ella2007k I doubt that there is any real pressure. One either sees a benefit or they would not take the position. Money may come in respect to expenses, or gratuities. In my earlier days I would have been more than happy to work for 20 hours for FREE in SF for some of the architects I eventually did projects with. I would have launched my business much faster and more profitably had I thought of such a clever foot in the door. I might have even gone to school at night to stay on.
But working for free does not put food on the table or pay the rent. So it's effectiveness is limited. Free labor will work harder as long as they feel there is a reward. Once they get to a certain point work may stop or become anti-productive. Oppression inspires some creativity until it gets so bad like Auschwitz or a Liberian ghetto then animal instincts overwhelm humanity.
Experienced and educated people forced to do internships...what a sad world. This is modern day slavery. We are fighting for the privileged to work for free now...:(
Your hot when you talk like that Ella. Keep it coming and I will Lifetime subscribe.
On a more serious note I think they are toying with slavery. They are not going to call it Slavery in the future they will come up some new words that are Politicaly correct.
They might have terms like "Intern, Barter for work, Unpaid Probation or one that is common now Work for Food".
I am 99% confident, that "Unpaid labor" AKA Slavery will be mainstream in 5 years.
@valhala56 Well, the way I see it, it's only a matter of decade or two, before 'company-owned' towns will become quite common. Just like the 'good ole days' the type of life, described in infinite detail by Charles Dickens and John Updike. Once the younger generation is indoctrinated enough, they will go right along with this, until conditions become so bad... and then...maybe, you will see some general revolt 30 years down the line. Could happen sooner, once the electric power grid goes
@55ella2007k >>> (continued): ... once the electric power grid starts to crumble. People without regular access to propaganda, i.e. TV and now also, increasingly, the internet, will find out rather quickly that they've been deceived all along. It it only a matter of time, before discontent translates into action. Let's hope that this action will be largely non-violent, because violence only fosters more violence in response. Once threatened, the elites can wipe out a city block in seconds.
@carriellbee same here. I was considering working free for a week at some place just to get a foot in the door and some experience in a new field, but I would never do it indefinitely. I'm wondering if I should even do it for a week - its so easy to get exploited in this situation.
@simonty1811 I can honestly say that unemployment (going on 3 years now) has been the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me time to think about a lot of things, to observe and reflect on the goings-on in the world. Now that I have some perspective, I no longer want to play this game where the rules are such that people like you and me will never win. I refuse to feed the beast...
I wanted to do volunteer work for a diabetes foundation. I had various reasons for doing so, I was unemployeed and wanted to get out of the house and feel feel part of the community again. I have a computer science degree with experience but just wanted to do basic admin work.After I had exchange numerous emails of questions, I had to fill out a long application form complete with references. Did I mention it was volunteer work? No thankyou.
When I was a youngster working on my first degree, we used to do clinical rotations which consisted of performing regular job duties in various laboratories. This was not only without pay, since it was part of a class curriculum, we actually paid for the privilege. It was well worth it though, and it's a pretty sensible arraignment.
I've worked for free in
the past. It's expected of
Artists in the States.

@carriellbee same here. I was considering working free for a week at some place just to get a foot in the door and some experience in a new field, but I would never do it indefinitely. I'm wondering if I should even do it for a week - its so easy to get exploited in this situation.

@simonty1811 I can honestly say that unemployment (going on 3 years now) has been the best thing that ever happened to me. It gave me time to think about a lot of things, to observe and reflect on the goings-on in the world. Now that I have some perspective, I no longer want to play this game where the rules are such that people like you and me will never win. I refuse to feed the beast...

I wanted to do volunteer work for a diabetes foundation. I had various reasons for doing so, I was unemployeed and wanted to get out of the house and feel feel part of the community again. I have a computer science degree with experience but just wanted to do basic admin work.After I had exchange numerous emails of questions, I had to fill out a long application form complete with references. Did I mention it was volunteer work? No thankyou.

When I was a youngster working on my first degree, we used to do clinical rotations which consisted of performing regular job duties in various laboratories. This was not only without pay, since it was part of a class curriculum, we actually paid for the privilege. It was well worth it though, and it's a pretty sensible arraignment.
