I honestly don’t see what’s ironic about it. It’s obviously a non-profit, which usually operate with volunteers and interns. At least they’re being honest about the internship being unpaid in the title rather than leading people on.
hilarious. at this point the only kids who could take this “job” are the well-off privileged born-with-a-foot-in-the-door connected kids, thus pushing all the others away into “paid” slavery working a shitty mcjob in the hopes that one day they’ll be able to get some kind of experience doing what they want. if they weren’t working 60 hours a week at 2 jobs…
but yea, kudos to this charity for announcing they’re not paying you shit to work for them
Unhinged hate for a charity you know nothing about other than the fact that they’re looking for helps seems completely normal
You didn’t really just compared voluntary charity work with enforced slavery? I mean … honestly!
You can believe anything you want to. We’re living in a post-reality timeline.
I remember being younger and thinking post-modernism was the worst, and what ever comes to replave it must be better…
Idk, I don’t think an unpaid internship can be considered slavery since you can voluntarily sign up for and quit it at any time.
Prison labor OTOH…
A lot of people reacting here with a “But they’re a Charity, so they most be good people” clearly are unfamiliar with the problems of Unpaid Internships in London and the scammy nature of so many UK-based Charities nowadays, especially the kind that’s based in London, has junior “Personal Assistant” positions and whose “charitable objective” is the same as their name, a “painfully obvious bad thing”, in a part of the “good will market” that’s not yet saturated (such as for example the fight against hunger would be) and for a problem so broad that them having no measurable impact is justifiable and which is a problem that will never be totally solved - the entire thing reeks of a “business” set up by a Politician or MBA to pay themselves vast fortunes as CxO by preying on the good will of well intentioned people.
I lived for over a decade in London and that whole advert rings several alarm bells in my mind.
