just burried a loved one on top of getting covid, got payed less that 300 bucks

The title pretty much tells everything. I'm a psychology student in France, and I work at good ole Macdonalds on the side (15h/week). I'm a somewhat good employee, I always push my hours whenever I can, say yes to them quite a lot, and have a good relationship with my coworkers and managers. I do suffer from endometriosis so I usually miss one or two days of work each month, but they are aware and understanding usually. I got covid 3 weeks ago, so of course I stayed at home. While my quarantine, my grandma passes away in her home, and I was and still am devastated. I missed maybe 4 days of work, as the burial wasn't on my work days. I am sick, tired, grieving, on top of having flare ups, and I still came back to work less than a week later. Just received my pay today,…

I'm a psychology student in France, and I work at good ole Macdonalds on the side (15h/week).

I'm a somewhat good employee, I always push my hours whenever I can, say yes to them quite a lot, and have a good relationship with my coworkers and managers.

I do suffer from endometriosis so I usually miss one or two days of work each month, but they are aware and understanding usually.

I got covid 3 weeks ago, so of course I stayed at home. While my quarantine, my grandma passes away in her home, and I was and still am devastated. I missed maybe 4 days of work, as the burial wasn't on my work days.

I am sick, tired, grieving, on top of having flare ups, and I still came back to work less than a week later.

Just received my pay today, and got a pathetic 230 bucks for my work. I am so done. For context, I usually make 500bucks, maybe 60p if I worked hard enough. Fuck jobs, fuck compagnies making money off of struggling students, fuck this system that punishes me for 4 fucking days missed. While I am still grieving my grandmother.

How am i going to take care of myself ? I'm already looking at food donations centers, as well as menstrual protection givaways on campus. It's honestly freaking me out. I've been a mess all morning.

I don't know if it is the right sub, and I apologize in advance for spelling errors. I just needed to rant.

I will update this post, i'm going to have a talk with my manager today.
