Resource Center for Independent Living

Student Worker

June - August 2019 • Herkimer, NY

What I liked

Helping people with disabilities and utilizing local aid services to help more.

What I wish was different

Elitist mindset although agency is in an impoverished area. Very poor dress code/internal heirarchy of who should follow dresscode.

Advice

Make sure to really research your rights as a worker because some bosses will try to dictate you regardless of your rights/policies that are in place. Also be careful how you call out coworkers or your boss because they may make remarks or statements to remind you that you're "lower in the food chain" although they'll claim you're on equal playing field.
