How do you stop being taken advantage of? It's nice that they let me get my foot in the door, but on some jobs I'm getting the same treatment as an illegal immigrant.

What makes you think you are any different?

You are a wage slave anon, you ARE below mr bossman and he will let you know it.

Best way to move up is to change jobs and leverage your current experience to land one that pays more.

Sage advice, employment today is not what it was in the past where people would stay with one company/organisation for their full career. Only way now to get ahead is by jumping from ship to ship every few years. Or just work for yourself if your skills allow it.

Become the employer.

And employ yourself.

how do you do this with a spotty resume and tons of resume gaps? am i really gonna have to settle down somewhere for two year before any employer can take me seriously?

>just lie on your resume

couldnt they easily find an old resume where the dates dont match? or call and ask a previous reference if the dates dont match? am i supposed to just falsify every reference at that point??

With customers? Explain your rates, and break down your costs and why they will be charged what they get charged.



How to get 1 star reviews and badmouthed across town? Say you'll do something like paint a fence for 2 grand, not explain further, and say "good luck" when the customer says they'll just google it and do it themselves. 



#1 cause of small business trade failure is extremely poor financial management and cost assessment for jobs. You're either over or underestimating, and unless you're at the ideal spot you will get treated like a stupid beaner.

You could do one year and try to pick something relevant to the field you're looking to work in. Also try to find job where you'll learn the most instead of necessarily making the most. You'll thank yourself 10 years down the line. Selling your skills is also just as important as having skills.

Tbh you don't have a lot of options due to your position in the social hierarchy. You could try talking to your boss but there's a good chance he won't understand your concerns. You could try expressing anger but you will most likely get into trouble. It's a dog's life anon, I hope your owner starts treating you better. Who's a good boy? Oh yes you are, yes you are.
