It could be worse...at least they are WORKING. Although the free work sounds scary I agree. I actually made the comment to my significant other a few days ago that we should just stop working and let everyone else pay for our living. Works out well for quite a few people these days. Then I decided that I like my toys to much. And Uncle Sam doesn't just let his folks quit while wearing the ole uniform. | ||

No matter which way you look at it "Free" is the worst of all the four letter words. | ||

My friend sells luxury yachts for a living. Let's just say business isn't exactly booming at the moment. He works solely on a commission basis. He goes to work every Tuesday through Saturday, and sits around the office staring at his computer screen. Since he hasn't sold a boat in months, he hasn't gotten paid in months. But he isn't eligible for unemployment because as far as they're concerned, he has a job. So, I guess he's "working for free" too. | ||

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. Geforce, He'll let you quit. But you won't like the goon squad. I saw a lot of guys quit at RAF Lakenheath in the early 80s, not a pretty sight. | ||

Jaimec, Welcome to my life. Been that way for much of 2008 and 2009. Starting to turn the corner, but folks who are 100% commission are often working for "free". I prefer to call it working for a non-profit. Sucks knowing that you are suiting up every day to go out and bring back nothing. | ||

That's why I left my last job! Work 53 hours get paid for 25 some weeks, 30 the next, maybe 40 if I was lucky, then back to the teens! Sucked!! | ||

If you are going to work for free you might as well work for yourself at something you enjoy. Mike Long Island, NY 09 XB12X Red/Black 06 VRSCR Blue/Silver | ||

I drove all the way to St. Louis from Wisconsin just to find out 30% of my time would be uncompensated so I quit after a week. I have another interview closer to home on Monday... | ||
