I work in a small touristic company of 12 people and it is horrible! I have studied Math in the uni for 6 years and also speak several languages and here they make me to do a secretary, to wash the floor all together with having lunches with clients from abroad cause I'm the only one who speaks those languages! With my languages and ability to make contacts they really need me here! But this horrible washing of the floor... and they shout at me about everything! And we always work more then 9 hours a day, usually about 12 and sometimes more then 15 hours. We also don't have a breake for a dinner. Well, we can eat but we can't go out (it's not said but if you go out they start shouting and such and asking angriely why aren't you working) and we usually eat continuing working in front of the pc and repling on the phone calls. And I get paid very little, I get paid 2$ per hour... it's the cost of BigMc here.. I wrote in BigMcs cause I live in Ukraine, so the prices and salaries are different. This is my first job. Tell me please if this is really like this everywhere or I was a lucky one? Or maybe I am to picky and have to take life like it is instead of wanting something good or at least normal! Thank you all very much!
I wish you a great Christmas! ;)

Your an asset in the company but treat you like shouting deserves no respect from you. It is demeaning and a big insult despite of the good performance you got. Look for a better work to find with that deserves your respect as a talented person. Until such time you are sure of the next job then moved on. You must be respected with dignity after all and at the end of the day.
Good luck and Merry Christmas to all!
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

If its your first job it seems pretty normal to me. In the UK you would not be expected to work such long hours but then maybe that is the norm in your country. If you don't like the job then look for another one but you will probably have more chance of getting a better job when you have some experience.

Wow, they definitely do not look after their staff! Your company is taking advantage of you and this should be addressed. I ma not sure of the policies in your country so its a bit difficult to try and give advice. If I were you, I would quit your job to pursue another where the people will appreciate your skills and treat you with more respect. In the UK we have an organisation called 'the Citizens Advice Bureau', find out if you have a similar organisation there that can give you advice on how to deal with this. Good Luck!!

Do you have or can you get teaching certificate. If not look for a tourist company with better people and may be a commission pay out, that way you can be like self employed. You know your clients, if you get a license you can take them with you to your company....Just some thoughts.
