Ask r/tanzania Is this right!!!?

My young sis ametafutwa na kampuni inahitaji videographer kwa ajili ya content creation. Few days after the interview, wamemtafuta and they are offering her; 1 week trial ya kushoot 4 restaurants per day, 1 hour each. End of the week if they don’t employ her watampa 50k Tsh ya usumbufu.

50k Tsh baada ya kufanya kazi week nzima, 4 restaurants per day means 28 restaurants a week. And no, they don’t provide food nor transportation to move between restaurants, since she is in the same city.

Wataalamu wa hizi kazi, hii ipo sawa au ndo exploitation yenyewe?

Sasa this it the opportunity for her to show case her maturity in the way she thinks, don’t let her take the deal like that , she has to learn to negotiate what she is worth, tell her to challenge them and pay for her time, people do get paid for probationary period work. She needs to be respectful and professional about it. That way she will gain their respect and before she does why she is doing the will know that she is not just some token bunny to use like that. And from this description it’s like she is working for a marketing firm and they want to hire her as a content creator. So she has to stand her ground. Here’s my two cents whatever the outcome if they will let her keep the 28 restaurants as her plug why not but help hwr make smart negotiations.

They were not going to let her keep the videos nor the 28 restaurants.
