I hate the US healthcare system.

Despite here in the US you pay taxes heavily (prob one of the highest in the whole world) and yet still no free health care compared to other countries who pay either the same or less taxes a year and have FREE health care for everyone. Not only that, you then pay premium prices on Insurance in which doesn’t cover all the cost of your medical bills. And you are screwed even more if you are born with medical conditions or are hit with a medical emergency / diagnosis then consider yourself in financial ruin (unless you are rich).

Not My Problem

After being bypassed for a supervisor position 10 years ago, in favor of a less senior and less qualified man, said supervisor transferred to our office in FL taking a demotion into a nonsupervisory position to do so because he wanted to move to FL.

Just Eat fires people for just 1.35GBP overpayments by their own systems

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/apr/22/fired-by-ai-just-eat-uk-couriers-deactivated-for-minor-overpayments Just Eat or Grubhub or SkipTheDishes or whatever the group is called just shows horrendous behavior in treating its employees. Their system gives people money in certain scenarios and then the employees get fired for it… First we all know GPS data isn't the most stable at all times, second it's just kind of ridiculous to expect people to always be on point.. just ask for your money back if you don't agree instead of firing them… If this is the future of work we're they're going to track how you park, where you stand, how you breathe..

Hypothetical Scenario

Here's a hypothetical scenario: A female manager has just broken up with her fiance and is taking her frustrations out on her team. Finally, one of team members snaps and calls her out. The two get into a massive argument and the employee quits on the spot. Would he still be eligible for unemployment benefits because the manager had technically created a hostile work environment?

How are people okay with working 5 days a week 40+ hours?

I'm constantly depressed panicking and overflowing with anxiety in every job I've been at. I'm thinking maybe I should just be super frugal and switch to delivering pizzas or working in a slow restaurant. What I wouldn't do to be on disability
