Hmm but what exactly then prevent company to never hire anyone beside interns ?

Supply of interns (quantity) and limited capabilities of interns (quality).

A company only employing interns must be one scary place to work at :)

exactly, there is only so much coffee I can drink in a day

This just cracks me the fuckup.
Just the thought of some poor sucker busting his ass all day, running around in his shit car picking up lube, paper towels and Thai food...holding the C light under some dangling scrotum all day under hot lights...cleaning up all the cummy baby wipes. Just free grunt labor...get rid of em when they start asking for pay - get a new intern - what a great scam - it will work too because there are thousands of horny douche bags on CL dying to hang out on a porn set and get a real life glimpse of sleeze...Great scheme for legal human slavery!

Americans have never been shy of using slavery to their advantage... why stop in porn?

Well it maybe stopping soon

even IF they can't afford to pay anymore, the top is still making money you can only dream of.

Craigslist is a great resource for all kinds of people and things. In my opinion it would be a mistake not to take advantage of what craigslist has to offer any company. And besides you sure can't beat the price.

I'd like to see Mike South do a story on the organised racketeering and theft by the companies behind any of the following sites:

Rapidgator
keep2share.cc
NetLoad

or maybe one in his own backyard

UltraMegabit

These sites deliberately foster relationships with piracy forums and uploaders of huge amounts of porn, paying bounties above and beyond the normal uploader rates for latest releases. This involves the organised use of stolen credit card numbers to fraudulently gain memberships on sites and in some cases tapping into human resources within the production and distribution channels of porn companies themselves to get hold of not yet released product.

Millions of dollars is lost to this industry every month as a result of these organised criminal conspiracies.

Why is it that those commentating on this industry keep missing this giant elephant in the room while rehashing tired old stories that often end up lacking in any merit ?

^^ this ^^.

Doesn't every production have a set bitch? A lot of the ones I've been a part of did :thumbsup

me three

Not sure if this fits in Mike's agenda, which seems to be about glorified TMZ'ing then talking about the real shit :Oh crap

You pretty much described the life of a PA on any non-union production set.

yes, slavery is a unique american invention we've kept to ourselves.

I am literally suffering from shock and awe right now. This is just amazing.

Submitting a photo when applying for a job is not that unusual in LA. Many bars and restaurants here demand the same.

internships are very typical. We constantly have a list of students trying to get one here. Currently we have two, one in HR and one in engineering. They would probably pay us for the experience they are getting here for their resume.

I have worked for free for quite a few people over the years, and would have no problem doing so again. Work for free for the right people and the knowledge, experience, and people you can meet will far outweigh any paycheck you could possibly receive.

We do a bunch of internships in Canada, in LA I am actually not sure.

I agree with Minte, people can learn a lot at certain companies. I am sure in your case Minte, it is especially huge for them, especially someone that later wants to study engineering or is in the middle of studying it. Lots to learn from experience there.

I do enjoy bringing new engineers into the business. The student we have now is putting together a new powder coat paint line, from start to finish. With a bit of luck and some long hours he should have it up and running early in September. He is doing every single part of it, from researching and meeting with suppliers to purchase the equipment,electrical,ventilation, material handiing,safety.. He really is doing a fine job and when it's up and running his efforts will be obvious, along with adding a half dozen new jobs.

If I had to go to the outside for a consultant, this project probably wouldn't have happened this year.

Minte, that's a lot of trust you are putting into a student. But I am sure he will never forget the generosity of yours to let him try doing it all on his own.

I understand its cheaper, and since you said it likely would not have been done this year, I guess its a win-win somewhat. But regardless, he might break things or just mess stuff up, and you have to restart, so I do believe it does show a lot of trust.

Kudos.

On top of the list when choosing a college for our daughter

The INTERNSHIP opportunities the school had in her chosen field of study, her first internship she did for a summer turned into a 3 year job, and continued contract work while she is away at college.

big issues with the ad... asked 'race'

Manwin is now a broke back bitch.

:)

This one looks like a bust so far but I do appreciate someone keeping an eye on Manwin and reporting the negative things because let's face it very few other people in the industry are willing to do so.

There is an interesting recent review on Glassdoor. Overall it seems positive (with some negatives on senior management) and I have to admit it doesn't support my perception that they are in any financial trouble.

"There is a limited number of parking spots and you will get into a long waiting list if you want one."

It would have been EPIC if instead of parking spots it were toilets. :1orglaugh

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Hamlet ... you bored? :winkwink:

no talks :2 cents:

Do you own Manwin now?

Nope.

:1orglaugh

You use internships to find quality employees; that is the goal, not free labor.


You two are pretty clueless or troll fail

how will you offer collage credits?

if he impresses you enough, i'm sure you would feel comfortable hiring him when he's out of school

Should I be worried that we are broke since we have a intern at JuicyAds? Though its not a total free internship so maybe its OK... :winkwink:

I saw the post just when I woke up this morning, so yeah, I think I was kinda bored to be honest...

You heard it here first folks, Manwin bought JuicyAds and are broke!

We have sponsored engineering internships for about 10 years and have offered a number of the people jobs. Currently we have two of those fellows employed fulltime.

Engineers typically like to move around. It's the way we are wired. Once you feel you've mastered a certain discipline you move to the next thing. A few of the fellows we have interned over the years have done very well working for Fortune 500 companies. I probably couldn't afford to hire them today.. Good engineers command great compensation. And they get it.

So wait, this post has now revealed that Manwin bought JuicyAds and Immoral Productions, went broke because of it, and thus is now firing everyone and replacing them with interns!

This is a good one.

That's not enough, we need to go deeper!

Manwin bought JuicyAds, Immoral Productions, and went broke because of it, now Nathan is posting in hopes to seek out another investor!

:1orglaugh

But wait, I thought I am controlled by George and Feras? How could I be looking for a new investor?! Then again it fits the rest of the logic here I guess...

I heard George and Feras are puppets too, and all 3 of you are actually controlled by Ronald McDonald.

Nathan is the intern???

All I really want to know is when you clipped your toenails last. In the grand scheme of things, that's all that really matters.

I just gave myself a prostate exam...


It felt good

Sly, I am embarrassed to answer that. Let's move on...

arock10, this is the best twist yet! I am actually an intern, unpaid and slaving off on GFY and other sites pretending I am Nathan, who is actually no longer here...

And I do not have Nathan's twitter password which is why I have not been posting there! Ha! You got me!

I heard the toilets were swapped for new Toto Toilets ..... and all have remotes and such...Need pics

Sounds like you might need a intern? :thumbsup
