Nope there's a form we compile for them where they give us either their IBAN or credit card number (just the number and expiry date not the secret code) alongside the name DOB and civic code. They keep a copy of it since it's tax deductible too. I actually don't really know exactly how it works because so far my team leader has been the one doing all the paperwork for me

Oh this is 100% legal here in Italy! It's called commission based income (or something like that) and there's no minimum wage here either (I worked for €5/hour at another job...) so it's not a scam. Scummy for sure lol but completely legal.

If not Indeed is there anything else you'd recommend? I landed my previous jobs through connections and never really learned how to look for work online for as pathetic as that sounds haha. Genuinely the basic office job paying €800/month has been my goal for the past few years but they're much harder to get than I thought they'd be, or maybe I just have no idea what I'm doing lol

Good on you for warning others honestly! That wounds dreadful, yikes

This place is very upfront about the fact they expect people to quit since they mostly hire high school/university students (another reason I don't like it here, I'm in my 30s and older than everyone...) so that's good, my problem is that I'm unfortunately a people pleaser and hate the idea of letting my team leader down after she's been so nice to me haha. I know it doesn't really matter and it's something I just need to get over but it's easier said than done lol

Oh totally!! I don't have reason to think they would try to scam me but better safe than sorry

Oh man sounds crazy lmao!! With how incompetent they sound I find it hard to imagine they lasted much longer after you left

Oh I won't add this to my CV at all lol so no worries there

 

Wasn't sure whether to throw this into an ask community or here, but ultimately chose casual convo because I am lowkey also looking for advice lol

I landed a job last week (hired me on the spot, did training 3 days later) as one of those people who stand outside shops/etc. asking people to donate to charities. Reputable charities for the record and without cash donations, so not some scam. But the way this is organised is miserable!! I literally get told where I'm supposed to go the night before I go there. I also get paid exclusively based on how many people I get to donate (this was not on the job ad on Indeed). The job itself is fine, is whatever, but between the chaos of having to schedule my day last minute and never being sure how much I'll make in a month... I need to hightail it out of here.

I get paid on the 15th of May, would it be inappropriate for me to quit right after? I'll give two weeks notice of course. My team leader has been super sweet to me and is already telling me I'm a natural and she wants to promote me inside her team... I did hint at the fact this is just a temporary thing for me and what I really want is an office job, but she keeps insisting I should stay and can earn a lot more here (and tbf she makes €3000/month). To be honest this whole structure feels very pyramid scheme-ish lol minus the fact people don't pay into it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this or any experience you want to share!

Everyone praises Mystery Dungeon and the GameCube games, but what are some spin-offs you wish more people talked about? c:

For me it's Pokemon Picross! It's such a simple game but I think it's really charming! I used to play it all the time on my bus commute to university, or between classes lol
