I got a job...i hate

No_Longer_Human profile image

So my dad visited and said "for 250$ it's not worh going to the internship and participating in the fraud". I decided to rest but a German-American guy called me for a job i applied for long ago. I mistook hundred and thousand. I thought he would pay me 3050 but when i read the contract i saw 350$. That's a Bulgarian salary. I can't believe the company is in Florida. And i don't have health insurance, retirement insurance and the job is overwhelming because i had to download 3 virtual office apps and i struggle with my camera. Also i have to call the customers and my phone bill will be insane. Im a recruitment assistant. But i don't know why i need 5 virtual office apps to do that when there's google meet and when i will be calling people by phone. Maybe it's just anxiety and overwhelm. But i really don't know whether to quit. I have to be in meetings and also decide who to reject and hire. Maybe it's better for the winter months but the internship would be better because they would pay me 250$ but with insurance and experience and as a psychologist but the boss is crazy, she's determined to scam me. Maybe im just having a panic attack. I forgot English. I was like a totally dumb person, the HR was telling me how to register in the 15664 apps and i couldn't even turn on my camera and she said i need to buy a camera. Phone bills, camera, insurance... I don't want to lose. But hear me out - i don't want to sponsor Bulgarian stealing of funds and the boss is crazy. Maybe work two months remote while it's cold outside and my health is bad and im at chance of slipping on ice like last year and then try to get a Bulgarian job. Maybe all jobs are different. But i really thought America paid better than Bulgaria not worse. Maybe im just stressed. I can't stop crying. I don't want to show up tommorow. I don't want to fix my camera. I don't want to reject people. I don't want to be there everyday. 3 hours felt like 9. I haven't even eaten. I only want expensive chicken nuggets, otherwise I feel nauseous. Also my phone bill, my electricity bill.

That’s a lot. Try to break up the problem management, like ok I will make sure I eat now that I’m hungry. Ok now I’m ready to do this one thing. Then take a break, and so on. I don’t know if that helps.

please do some research on this job. It sounds a little fishy to me. I wouldn’t want you to get scammed

Thank you. They're not giving me a phone or covering my phone bills. My anxiety is sky high. I will just let them fire me

Congratulations on the job! Well done👍👍👍

Focus on what you are hired to do and not what you think the job could do better (referring here to your question of why 5 virtual apps when there is Google meet). As far as calling people is concerned, will they give you a company phone or at least pay you back for the job-related calls you make? It would seem a bit odd for them to have calling people be one of your tasks, but then not help you out with this.

As far as paying bills is concerned, the salary you'll get will allow you to pay for these on your own.

Not eating can lead to all sorts of problems with mood, etc, so please make sure you eat.

Congratulations again!!!

Thank you. My grandma doesn't believe it and she told me "all jobs are hard" but it's a scam

Take the internship in Bulgaria, insurance and a job in your major all adds up and makes up the difference for less money. Besides this is only "temporary" and a jumping off point. I think you could do so well in it you could eventually replace the corrupt boss, I can tell you have that much potential. Like I mentioned before, you can write down your summary and understanding of the job including pay and ask boss to sign it, then TAKE THE JOB. You've apparently been considering the internship for years. No more negative reasons not to take it. GO TAKE THE JOB TODAY. Good luck NoLongerHuman.

Thank you, it seems like the best option but the boss is hysterical and commits a fraud against me and the government. I will be participating in a fraud against myself. It's much better socially but this lady drains me. She found a golden geese and wants to take my internship. I should be paid 1380 and she will be giving me 500 leva with q lot of negotiations. And the labour department has me grounded now. But really it's better.

It's not for you to be judge and jury regarding Fraud or Bulgarian law. Like I suggested, document your understanding including pay and ask her to sign your understanding then take the job. Once you take the job then focus on your special psychology skills and talents and do a great job. If the subject of Fraud ever comes up, you can show your signed summary as your effort to make sure job was up and up. This is part of your "dilemma", not making a decision. According to prior posts as AgainstTheCurrent you have been looking at the internship for a couple years now. Take the job, you have nothing to lose, I mean they will not kidnap you and make you do this job forever, you can quit. I would rather see you shining and fulfilling your potential in a couple years, not complaining about "The Internship", maybe a future book for you. Good luck NoLongerHuman.

Ok, so your listening to your mom and dad and taking their advice. It appears you are 27 now. I still believe in your special talents. Perhaps as a hobbie you can think about writing a book, have you seen the online AI novel generators that may help in authoring a book. In a prior post I commented "Otherwise at some point your parents will step in and assist you", I believe that time has come. I will say no more on the subject. Good luck NoLongerHuman
