But they get away with pushing us around to do stuff for free because we are remote employees, faceless and female. Just because that's the way it's always been doesn't mean it's right. Neither is showing up for a scheduled crap hours shift and not having any work, then given the impossible task of "making up time." I am ditching this ridiculous sweatshop asap.
