Good morning lovely people of r/antiwork,
Today I am working with a kidney infection, on a holiday, because I work in healthcare.
Every other major office or hospital system is shut, but not us. We stay open for everything.
My soon to be fiancé is dead asleep because he has a Union.
Last week, he only worked 3 days because he’s allowed to take off whenever he wants with no penalty!
Amazing to me, as someone who has to work with a kidney infection, in order to take our vacation to Italy this fall, as we do not get sick days. A vacation staffing is still arguing with me about, because how dare I take 2 consecutive weeks off, even though it’s allowed per the employee manual.
No worries, next spring I graduate and will be leaving the national embarrassment that is healthcare. My company still thinks I’m going to school for a degree I can use to move up the ladder with them. I am not.
Cheers to better days with better employers.
