In the college world, many honors students get financial aid through what is called a "work scholarship".
This is, for all intents and purposes, indentured servitude.
The work itself is almost always menial and meaningless, and it is easier to schedule an interview with manti te'o's girlfriend than it is to find out how much the scholarship is actually worth. But rest assured, you will never see a dime of your "wages".
Also,if you come up short of the 75 required work hours in the semester, prepare to have your balls lopped off.

Get the work beer mug.Simply a dump at work. The only two logical reasons someone would ever take a dump at work is because it's a total fucking emergency or your boss is a total dick and you just want to be paid for sitting on the toilet.
Guy 1: Hey boss I just took a 45 minute work dump, that's like 7 bucks just to wipe my ass.
Boss: I hope you get hemorrhoids you dick.

Get the workawitable mug.This definition applies to government employees and poor treatment of it's employees.
When the employer viciously assaults you with the metaphorical sandpaper dildo that is being forced to work long shifts, pay out the ass for medical care and does not allow you to have any days off. Work Rape may also take the form of not acting on a contract they had already approved. This is not to be confused with the lesser violation, Work Molestation where they add a little courtesy spit and allow you 8 hours between shifts. The employer truly does not understand, that no means no.
