I worked for amazon and ended up becoming disabled as a result of working there. Its now very difficult to pay my bills due to only receiving 75% of the $16 an hour wage I was getting there.
Due to being in pain all of the time, Im completely removed from the workforce. I found out that you can earn $650 a month donating plasma so I went.
When I first got there the nurse told me that I needed to leave and go eat more. So I go to a grocery store to buy some cheap croissants thinking this would be enough. My card gets declined so I have to ask the cashier to take off 3 of these croissants. As I leave she throws them in the trash. Waste. Not her fault, but it disgusted me nonetheless.
I eat 2 croissants. Go back to the donation center and go through the check in process. Anyway I start giving my plasma and about half way through I become very sick and light headed. The nurses take out the needle and inform me that they were unable to replace my red blood cells so I will not be able to donate for 56 days. I left there completely dehydrated and weak, but at least I got $100.
This isn't a unique story. There are no systems in place to protect workers. Capitalism uses you and then tosses you to the side when its done with you. We are bugs beneath their boot. I don't know what to do.
