Hi, I’m curious if anyone knows. So I started working for a shitting hospital with shitty pay and benefits. And when I started I guess somewhere I signed if I resign without a proper 30day notice I forfeit my PTO. Is that legal? (I’m in the state of VA). Does anyone know if I can fight this?

While I can't say that I'm in a bad place financially, I'm certainly not getting ahead either. Paydays always seem a little too far out. Since I don't go out (who can afford to?), I've applied for two fast food restaurants and a convenience store: I just want to have a little money left in my bank account so I'm not worried that those for whom I'm responsible don't go without. That's all I've got. Just another working stiff casting another vote in the “hooray for capitalism” bin.

Does anyone actually look forward to or ever want to do these? Like, what did I achieve? Nothing cause you don't pay me enough what do you want me to say here?? They make me irrationally angry because I'm forced to think about all the work I do while being underpaid. Am I the only one?

I was laid off almost two months ago. When I was working, I always thought to myself “I wish they would just lay me off so I could have a break.” Well, now my wish has come true and I’m fucking miserable. Every day is the EXACT same. Wake up, apply for jobs, clean, spend time with the wife, go to our nephews sporting events, rinse and repeat. I can’t stand all the people saying “nobody wants to work.” I’m looking for work, damnit! I have submitted hella applications and can’t even get a call back. It’s kind of fucked up how the system is set up and how it’s made me feel. When I was working, I was pushed to the brink of quitting but my mental health was fine. Now that I’m not working, I feel like a complete failure and my mental health is in the shitter.…
