Having a job sucks. Not having a job, and constantly being ignored or rejected does a number on my mental health too.

A company I applied for gave me a take home assignment, I said that I would only do it if they pay me. They said they would pay me. The project took me about 2.5 months. Now they have rejected me saying it is not good enough, didn’t pay me for the work I have done. It has been an all-around hell week for me. I hate being taken advantage of like that. Fuck whatever enables people or companies like this.

Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

The company is called GeoStru, which is their Sales and Marketing. The offshoot of that, that is responsible for development is called Engsoft SRL. It is located in Romania.

We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone's time and a theft of their due compensation.
