Are pieces of shit like this all that common in the nursing profession worldwide? Even in the abomination of a healthcare system that is the USA?

Just went to H&R Block to file my taxes. I am a gig worker who has been unemployed for the last 5 months and who worked on several projects in 22. Ended up paying $400 just to go through the act of filing my taxes. W2s cost 80$ EACH. This is ridiculous and further shows how the poorest of us end up being screwed the hardest

Let me begin by saying I am 100% PRO UNION. Just very conflicted on this one so I want more view points. Which brings me to my confusion. I have been a member of a union with about 1.3 million members internationally for almost 2 decades. When I first joined we saw representatives at all hours of the day and night. Constantly. They would come in and just see how we were or if we needed anything at 3 am if they needed to. If there was a problem we made one call and someone would be in the car on the way ready to put some company lackey in his place (usually at the end a closed door ass ripping). It was great.

I work in a transitional living home. We have people coming out of incarceration who are looking for jobs and housing, and we offer various services and a place to stay with your own bedroom, mostly shared bathrooms, kitchens, etc. Since we work closely with the department of corrections, we are required to document everything that happens in the house.

The rules are Simple. Yet every week we have a two hour meeting and inevitably, we spend half of it talking about how to document properly. It sucks. We all read the shift log and guest files. At least we are supposed to. So we know who is writing 3 paragraphs a day…
