WYM in-house maids/groundskeepers used to be paid a salary even when they lived on the land, but nowadays they call it “work trade” so you end up doing both of those things just to keep a roof over your head and zero money in your hand for all those days lost keeping their home spic-n-span, even controlling your ability to have visitors at your work-trade Lord’s-land bc they ain’t just landlords anymore at that point. Actual slavery without the whips and torture.

Yeah I worked in a grocery store making minimum wage about ten years ago. They paid employees as little as they could without breaking the law. During the pre-hire training session they were transparent that they were legally required to pay us for it.

Are unpaid internships still a thing? I haven’t heard of them in quite a while.

Unpaid internships are only allowed IF they get college credits. Otherwise it’s illegal, but of course that doesn’t stop people
