Summary

r/Choosingbeggars Are you looking for an apartment? Do you speak French? Well, for the low price of $1,000, you can rent a fantastic room in this guy's house, where you'll also be expected to clean his house and watch after her kids. You have to pay rent AND do chores?!

0:00.0	Welcome to our slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit.
0:03.8	Today's subreddit is our slash choosing beggars, where someone is looking for a full-time
0:08.5	live-in slave. Good morning. We need you to sign our terms and conditions in order to
0:13.9	continue serving on our board and helping us on our mission to provide the community with much
0:18.3	needed services. Can you sign and return the document today? I'm sorry, but as we previously
0:24.2	discussed, I'm not comfortable with the restrictive covenants, the non-compete, and the non-disclosure
0:28.8	agreement. I will not be signing it. I don't understand your hesitation. This is a boiler-played
0:34.9	agreement cooked up by our attorney. Everyone is signing it. I enjoy the organization and the help
0:40.6	that it provides. I'd like to continue serving, but I'm firm that I will not sign. But we need you,
0:47.2	your time, and your treasure. You can have them, but I'm not willing to sign something so restrictive,
0:53.7	just to continue my role as a volunteer and a volunteer leader. Let me touch base with our
0:58.5	counsel and I'll get back to you. Okay, so I was really kind of confused on this post because,
1:04.6	as I was reading it, it sounded like a pretty normal conversation between like an employer and
1:10.0	an employee. Obviously, if the employee wants to work at the company, then he's going to have to
1:13.6	sign something. But then it turns out that OP is a volunteer, and this organization wants OP to
1:20.0	sign a document with a non-compete clause? This is just really bizarre, and I'm with OP on this
1:25.8	one. I wouldn't sign that contract either. Once an organization starts trying to say what you can
1:30.9	do with your unpaid time, that's a big red flag. Wanted full-time babysitter. So my babysitter just
1:39.0	bailed last minute. I need care for two-day shifts, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and two-night shifts,
1:45.3	7 p.m. to 7 a.m. This is every week, but the days may vary. Two kids ages six and three.
1:52.5	The three-year-old is in her own daycare, and would only need to be picked up by 4.30 p.m.
1:57.2	unless it's a weekend, then she'll be home as well. This will be a daily rate, not hourly,
