That's nothing. Look at the job I took:

lifetime exclusive contract, you can't work anywhere else, not even moonlighting

$0 salary and no equity (you’re supposed to be compensated in satisfaction)

no benefits other than being told that "everything here is a benefit"

no possibility of promotion or raise, ever

no job description: just do what you’re told

no office of your own, in fact, nothing of your own, ever again

all work ever done for any other employer must be forgotten forever; it's useless here

everything you do is wrong

everything the boss does is right

if you want to work on any personal projects, you have to make it appear that it's really for the boss

micromanaging boss complains about everything every 7 minutes

strict hours: 24/7, always on call

lovely seating, but only for company

the work is boring and demeaning, like taking out the garbage and cutting the grass

all your comfortable clothes get thrown away

you have to drive, even though the boss tells you where to go

you have to wear an employment symbol everywhere so that other prospective employers know you're already employed

you can only go to hacker news when the boss is out...oh wait, hold on, Hi Hon, you're home! I'm in here, on the internet, on diamonds.com...<alt-tab> (bye)
