Their only goal is getting donations. Discussing the issues is considered a waste of time.
Some employees pocket cash donations.
Things like transportation, etc will not be compensated for. Hell, employees buy pens for the office with their own cash. And they're broke as ****.
Lunch breaks? Overtime? Minimum wage? These words are not in the Fund's vocabulary.
Directors work 70+ hour weeks. Though a lot of this goes unrecorded because it's "volunteering".

Do research. There's a class action lawsuit against the company.

Your interview tomorrow?
Some grimy hipster **** is going to conduct a group interview. They failed to mention that, right? You'll take one look at your peers and question if this is a joke. You'll go into the office for a one-on-one interview. The dude won't pay attention to a word you say. You'll get the job on the spot and be asked to come in tomorrow. You will again question the legitimacy of this job. The next day you will come in at 9 am and you'll start practicing the canvassing rap (SALES PITCH) for an hour or two. What was that? You don't think the canvasing rap is a good way to discuss the matter at hand? You didn't sign up to beg people for money? You thought you would be in contact with lobbyists or elected officials? You didn't realize Environment New York (or California or wherever) is operated by the same guy who operates the fund? You were offered a managerial position yet 90% of what you do is canvassing? Tough ****.

Oh and if you don't meet quota on your first day, you're fired.


Read these. I'm far from alone.

3) Get a better job
4) Get out

word.

PS I tried the facebook trick it works you just used the wrong set of numbers. There should be five sets of numbers. You want to use the third set. There should be two long sets (= user number?) you want to use the second one of those. If you want feel free to hit me up I'll help you out.

http://fashionbombdaily.com/2011/06/...in-the-nation/ Google+ (get on my level) turned me onto this, out of the first pic, only the right 3 would have even half a chance of getting mention in the HWYLAGTD thread and those are big maybes. Then again, they ranked NYU first and used this pic as justification

Huh, I didn't know but IF boutique is in Dubai too ... just told my homeboy, he went with a colleague and the guy dropped 500 on a yohji shirt on the spot. I feel like this is the start of the end for his finances.

Snow, add that to our list of spot when we go to UAE !!
