Antiwork

There is “no travel advised” in my area right now due to severe weather and my $12.50 an hour retail job is upset that I am not coming into work.

It is a blizzard out there. It's still dark, it's foggy, there's heavy snowfall with extremely strong winds, it rained last night and now it's frozen making it insanely icey. I live in the country meaning it's half an hour to work in good conditions. The government has released a “no travel advised” statement in our area. Schools are delayed or canceled. I called in to work. We are far from essential, especially for just one day. You have to be crazy to try to shop right now. My boss of course is upset over the phone. My shift was only four hours so I say I just won't come in. By the time it's light out and possibly good enough to drive (which may not even happen) I would only get there for an hour or two. I'm not crashing my car for 24 bucks. It's not even worth…

I'm not crashing my car for 24 bucks. It's not even worth the risk. My life isn't even close to worth it. Sure I'm a good driver but there's idiots who won't even slow down in weather like this. Why is it not common practice for non essential jobs to call their employees for some sort of snow day policy? Just cancel work. Any rational patron would understand. The few customers we could get don't even cover the wages of having us here.

My life is literally worth loosing money to these corporations. Unbelievable. My last day is in only a week. Fuck them if they think I give a shit if they're upset with me. I want to live long enough to get out of this shit hole.
