Why Does People Expect us to Work for Free? 🤡
Since the start of 2024, I began an internship to gain valuable experience and skills in my field. However, as I continue to apply for new opportunities, I'm finding that many companies still expect that work for free.
This raises an important question: Do they think We don't have living expenses or family responsibilities? It's disheartening to see the lack of recognition for the hard work and dedication interns and new professionals put into their roles.
Working for free devalues our time, effort, and the unique perspectives we bring to the table. It’s crucial for companies to understand that fair compensation is not just about money—it's about respect and acknowledging the value of our contributions.
It's time for a change. Let's create a culture where talent is valued, hard work is rewarded, and opportunities are accessible to all, regardless of financial background.
