You were likely taken advantage of by a small monopoly of companies that do this paid canvass work all over the country, and it is best to think of them as an organized crime syndicate. There's a small group of companies that are all exactly identical, and they only care about getting money for themselves. Their main victims are actually non-profits and political parties, but only canvassers actually suffer from their crimes.

Although many brand themselves as progressive, most of these companies are caught up in the business of legalizing sports gambling and providing services to all clients, regardless of their political ideology.

These companies operate as so-called "firms", and they generally employ canvassers through hundreds of shell companies that they open and close on a project-to-project basis. They literally open and close dozens of LLCs every year, all over the country, in order to avoid the financial obligations of running a large company. It is all a part of their business model to maximize their incomes. They cheat the tax system, fleece their clients, and screw their temporary employees.

What happened was not your fault. These companies pretend ot be such good people, but then they literally do the same thing they did to you, to thousands of other people every year. You got mixed up with some really bad people, who were pretending to support some really great causes. At first you were excited to be a part of it, and that is to your credit.

It really sucks, but you're a great person for trying to do the job, and you were unlucky to get mixed up with one of these slimy companies.

The good news is that you can definitely get another canvassing job, and now you know what to expect.
