After a month and a half of applying to jobs with better pay and benefits so that I could have a more manageable schedule between work and school, I finally got hired. It’s the best benefits and salary I’ve ever worked before and is going to be great for me in college. Feels pretty good after my last employee dumped me because I had a migraine curve and called off during the holidays, Y’know, when I was throwing up and dizzy from my migraine pain? I had the audacity to call off. Good thing the new place gives me PTO and sick days! I’ll be able to do my field work on my 2 days off, and still have time for office hours for the class I TA! AND I’ll be able to pay my bills and save some cash too. Feels pretty great.
But I’ll still stick around and keep pushing for better and better workers rights. This fight isn’t over! I’ve just got bills to pay. Thanks for some of the inspiration and keeping me going, antiwork community.
