What I want .
I know what I want in a job..
I want a job where I get where I am treated with dignity and respect.
I want a job where I do not have to worry about getting hit , or have lewd gestures or things done in my personal space.
I want a job where the company has integrity enough to buy their own software licenses and not ask me to Pirate or steal things simply for their benefit. ( I refused in case your curious)
I want to work in visual effects I do not mind having to work my way up
but I want to do it somewhere that I feel safe an nurtured .
I want to have a contract and a actual outline of my responsibilities , not a verbal agreement that gets changed every other day.
I want to make enough money to cover my rent; to have a boss that understands that might need to be working 2 jobs to do so and accommodate me .
I want to get at LEAST minimum wage as an intern
I don’t care if it’s an agreed upon amount of hours … even if they cap pay at 26 hours
and I can CHOOSE to volunteer more hours to a project but that I’m not required to.
not forced to work 40-60 hr a week for 100$ .
and forced to stay on even when my work is done just so my boss can feel powerful, and know he has his fingers controlling me ..
I want to be treated like a human …
after being forced to endure all this things listed I have also been threated that I will be blackballed I will get my name in it’s infancy out here be-smeared ,by being labeled lazy , and flaky and that I have bailed out in mid project
although I have come in early nearly every day, and gone above an beyond to do every thing and more that was asked of me for these past few weeks even when i felt uncomfortable being there..
.. although I have talked to many that are already here, and my mentors , and I have contacted a lawyer
( I hate lawsuits they take a long time , and are exhausting)
I’m frightened that i will get my name smeared even though I am leaving because the situation I am in is Abusive ..
that is the real reason I am leaving I do not feel comfortable their I am tiered of getting his “meat” rubbed against me . I’m tried of getting punched , I’m tried of the physical and emotional abuse I’m tired of no written understanding of of what my job is and the verbal understanding begin changed daily .
I understand I may not be your equal but I want to at least feel that I am respected .
I can say this much i greatly miss my friends back in GA and I wish their was more work there I have though recently a LOT about starting my own company back home I know their is projects and a nice base to pull commercials from and I have already started picking in my mind who I would ask to come out .. but I really want to make it here I want to work at a studio a big studio and learn from the pros
.
I really would love to work at Side Effects or Digital Domain or R&H .
I want to work somewhere where I can feel safe
and know I will be treated fairly
and I can learn from people who have integrity and that I can look up too
.
I want to do my art I want to make it
I want to do this
