YAL liberty candidate campaign support opening - APPLY NOW!

[RickyJ]

Matt, don't let the naysayers get you down. I imagine the campaign will have no trouble getting enough qualified people willing to do these jobs even if they were paid nothing.

 

[MelissaWV]

Screw it.

 

[RickyJ]

I hope the complaining stops. If I wasn't over here in the UK, I would totally apply for this.

I think they will take you from the UK too. Just get over here and they will give you lodging and food. Can't afford the plane ticket? I think RPF members can get you a cheap flight and even chip in to get you over here and back home.

 

[tribute_13]

I'll do it. I'm hurting for money and I'm done with school for the meantime. If they're providing food and lodging, I'm not complaining about $200/week. Who want's to be my references?

 

[PaulConventionWV]

$200 a week, for 13 hour days. Is that even legal?

Where does it say 13 hours a day? As I read it, it says 8-12. Where are you getting this ridiculous info?

 

[PaulConventionWV]

If someone will give me a corner to crash in, I'm in. I have experience running call centers, both as a caller and as a manager, as well as the technical backend stuff (VoIP switches, etc)

Lodging and meals are provided, so I think you're their man, especially with your experience.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

Really? So Matt Collins, aka Zanzibar, aka some other name would have zero posts on this forum between Thanksgiving and March 15th of this past year? Or do you consider posting on a forum to be "work" and be "grueling brutality mentally, physically and emotionally?"

Or, I guess, instead of getting the 6-8 hours of sleep between working, he was really only getting 5.5-7.5 hours leaving 30 minutes to post on a forum?

Is that not a possibility in your mind?

 

[MelissaWV]

Screw it.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

I suspect they were hoping for volunteers and are now hoping for volunteers who won't have to pay living expenses. I bet volunteers don't have to be paid at all, so they didn't have to look into it over Christmas etc. $200 a month is $50 a week for 'odds and ends' could be one way to look at it, and they could still be volunteers, maybe....

But it's $200 per week, not per month...

 

[PaulConventionWV]

With people like you and angelatc and a few others, ​YES!

Not to be a stickler, but this statement is inherently absurd.

 

[Chrysamere]

So matt collins is a lying useless leecher hypocrite who thinks too highly of himself and has been getting paid to do nothing for months, everyone knows this already, doesn't need to be brought up everytime he posts a thread.

 

[PaulConventionWV]

I think they will take you from the UK too. Just get over here and they will give you lodging and food. Can't afford the plane ticket? I think RPF members can get you a cheap flight and even chip in to get you over here and back home.

But is it really worth it to donate my hard-earned money to get a guy from the UK when we have plenty of people here at home willing to do it?

Just sayin'

 

[PaulConventionWV]

If you are working 12 hours a day, and you are provided a lunch, that would make it a 13-hour day. Most places do not count your lunch hour as part of your paid work time anymore.

Regardless, that would make it 9-13 hours, not just 13.

I would only do that if there were a huge shortage of people applying, which there certainly won't be. The plane tickets alone would cost more than my 5 weeks' pay and the chipin alone would fund 2-3 US-based people to fly in to VA to help out.

Maybe in 2016 .

 

[MelissaWV]

Screw it.

 

[wealeat]

Needless to say, but all of you complaining on this thread wouldn't be good for the job anyway. Plus, there will be plenty of enthusiastic people that will apply, no need for you guys that are negative.

It is hilarious that most talk about fighting for the cause of liberty, but most would rather do it on their own time and only do the fun stuff (sign waves, marches). Then there is an actual opportunity to make a real difference by doing effective campaign type work, get paid, get fed, and get lodging (apparently you guys all get free food and Virginia priced lodging included in your current salary).

Plus why are are y'all worried about labor law, aren't you supposed to believe in individual liberty?

 

[MelissaWV]

Screw it.

 

[RiversMcGee]

Do you have any work experience on your resume?

Well..ya. But it's always been a dream to work in Washington

 

[thoughtomator]

Given how many people out there are unemployed with nothing at all useful occupying their time, this can be a big improvement in their situation - they'll be doing honest work, doing something moral and useful, and helping their country at the same time. $200/week is a lot of money to someone making $0. It's also a lot of money for something like 90% of the world's population, to apply some perspective. It's also more than interns make, and there have to be a million or more people out there working internships, even experienced people. It's easy to mock low income when you're secure in your position at a higher income; but it's foolish to do so as in this economy, anybody can be in that position in a blink of an eye. If you want to measure the level of desperation out there in the economy, head on over to Craigslist and peruse the "resumes/jobs wanted" section. For many, an offer like this is a pretty good deal.

Her question pertained to the 13-hour day, which is where laws get sticky. Nine-hour days are not usually a problem (they are the norm). It was a sound way to ask the question, and it was already answered, so I'm not sure what you gain by all the rehashing.

Fair enough, no more needs to be said.
