I just wanted to let anyone who was upset they didn't get this position know, you missed out on nothing. Jack and his team obviously know NOTHING about this business. After being hired and told, "we just need bodies on the site, you can do whatever you want!" I was even specifically told I could sit on cam crafting or cooking and it'd be fine. One day Jack actually had the nerve to tell me I didn't look good enough on cam and to start dressing up more and to never leave the screen. I shut that down pretty quickly, since I think we all know 10/hr is not worth wasting expensive make up on. He was also mad that I split-cammed on his site, the only thing that made it worth it, and he had said he had never heard of anyone doing it before. A WEBCAM SITE EMPLOYEE HAD NEVER HEARD THAT PEOPLE SPLIT CAM. I educated him on that and was allowed to continue. One week I made 75 in tips and was told I almost won a top earner prize that week. 75 dollars. IN A WEEK. Not to mention, any regulars I brought there from KinkLive had trouble getting their cards to work on the site. Some of these were broke ass potential liars, but MANY were not. The same dudes got me GCs that very night, so I know it's the site's problem.
This morning after my payment came through I was told on Skype that I was being let go. Honestly, since there is a 300 min payment (and he recently told me I can only work 31 hours? wtf is that? another abrupt change) and 55 gets taken out because it's a wire transfer, it was a relief. I can literally make more money every week using unemployment as a safety net since I'm in school. It was just cool having that hourly in addition to what I make, instead of as a safety net in case I don't earn elsewhere. However, I think firing someone the week of Christmas gives you a REALLY good idea of the way they do business. When I made my feelings known, Jack kept asking "why are you mad?" All I was doing was explaining to him how screwed up my entire experience there had been. There was a strong undertone of sexism in all my interactions with him, all the more maddening when he'd make a statement that showed how little he understands what we do. His statements about "Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were Chaturbate or MFC" probably got some eyes rolling the first time he posted it, but now my eyes are rolling HARD.
The best experiences I had there were the Romanian models coming in and cursing me off in Romanian, because we can all agree having to google translate profanity when you're bored is fucking hilarious.
They're obviously drowning. I say, if you get hired milk them for all they're worth. Split up payments so you get paid every two weeks to avoid the big fees. Don't take their shit, and don't rely on them.
Good luck, fellow cam folks. Hopefully I may have saved someone time and frustration. Everyone make tons of money and have happy holidays!
