I think I can talk about AEC work now that I've withdrawn. The offer I got was Sat night, 8pm start, minimum wage ($30.14), expected 3am finish (casual, maybe early dismissal) counting votes at an OPC (cold warehouse). I wouldn't take that shift for any job TBH. Maybe I'm being too picky but that's atrocious pay and hours for a one off ~7 hour job.
Fuck all that. You'd think they could offer more considering what the job actually is.
They gave me a two month window then two days notice for sat night at shit pay. I'm in bed by 9pm most days, I'd be falling asleep on the job.
