So I quitted my job

Technically, you were already unemployed as having no contract. Is there is anything you can do legally to make their behavior visible ? Would speak to another newspaper about the fraud would lend you a place, a real one with a contract ?

You have earned great experience there and I am pretty sure you will be able to find another job to apply that experience, in a company that actually knows your value. Keep strong!

1/4 of what you wanted to earn? That seems ridiculous...
Sounds like there must be other jobs you can get then if that's the case.

Thanks for the giveaway XD

That doesn't sound like a situation you wanna be in employment-wise - keep your head up and start looking for something better, I'm sure it will come sooner rather than later :)

You did the right thing. There is a whole industry nowadays built on bullshitting people on a future contract when all they are doing is using slave labour.
I hope you find a new job soon.

I think you would feel a lot worse knowing you let them use you. This is better.

You done the right thing.

What i learned from all my work places in my life are that you better have no job, and looking for one where you get respected, as to have such a job where you treated like you are nothing worth.

Hope you can find an employer whom respects you ^_^

better unemployed than a slave. because that's what you were by the sound of it.

being paid poorly and having no real contract basically meant you had no future.
can't be worse now, can it?

also if they treat you like shit that won't change even after they give you a contract.
you did the right thing.

Sounds a lot like my first "unpaid internship". I worked in my boss's office space in his 4 bedroom house. I only worked 2 months, 2 hours a day, just tracking his side business's finances. It was good enough to just add to my experience and give me a letter of recommendation.

You did the right thing and I'm sure I would have done the same.

I hope you find a new job you enjoy doing that pays what you're worth.

Don't regret it. Life is too short for having regrets. You have all the free time in the world but you mustn't waste it. You should try some courses on UDEMY which suit your interests and area of expertise. You will have better skills when you apply for your next job. Good luck.

Here is a list of links of free UDEMY courses shared on net-load.com site:

Yeah, quitting a job you like won't always feel 'right', but I believe you didn't have much options.
Don't fret over it. The decision was made for a good reason.
I hope you can find something good soon, Sadwich.

Life has time to rest.
Even if you inadvertently rest for decades, the earth turns.
It's okay. A good day will come again.=͟͟͞͞( っ'Θ')╮ =͟͟͞͞🌏 roll!?

It's a good time to take a break.

I also quit my job (I was an office rat) and I'm unemployed for a month now but what I can tell you my team was great and my supervisor was also great but 2 bosses above my supervisor were dicks and still are so there was no reason to stay after 2 years and 2 months of working there as they were making changes for the worse and did not listen to anyone who worked there.

Find a new job and new good people to work with and move on. No point in staying in a place where you feel bad.

from someone who quit after 10 years: good decision.
there are 2 things to keep in mind. being happy/enjoying what you do, and be respected/earn accordingly.

even if you don't have these two now, you're adding experience...

(sorry for any bad english)

Unfortunately this practice is becoming way too common and you did the right thing for yourself by letting it go. At the end of the day, getting paid a paltry fraction of what you would under contract doesn't pay the hefty bills you may have incurred (such as student loans or medical debt for example), and will eventually outweigh the joy if all you're getting is the runaround. Best thing to do is take the work experience that you've gained and look for something else that will pay you a competitive wage... only it never hurts to be open to new opportunities along the way. 😉

Hang in there. It does get better!

Best of luck finding a new job :)

You prob made the right decision

Though depending on where you live, the union or the legal system might have been able to help

Gl with the jobsearch

That sounds terrible. I hope you get a new job soon.

You did the right thing. Next step - focus on landing a job, but not just any job, search for one you really WANT to do. The sooner you find it, the happier you will be down the line.

u made good decision. the way the did to you, its not good.
not like that bro, u can get a better job.

Looks like a really shitty company. Maybe you should looked for another job before quitting, but I think you did something that was inevitable.

I've been unemployed for over an year now and it is terrible. The bills are screaming at me. Hopefully, we'll both find something soon enough.

You got to see how things are and you got to experience professional life So now when you apply for a job at a new place, you have some edge over other candidates who have no work experience. Unpaid internships are normal but it sucks that you were given hope of a contract because of which you stuck to that place. They played dirty, and you made the right decision to move on. Best of luck with the job hunt.
