If I can’t afford to save. They are not getting a single cent from me towards my student loan.

Reasons why….I simply can’t without risking my survival needs. I don’t care if it ruins my credit. I will never afford a home anyways. Let alone retire or afford okayish health insurance. I don’t think they can garnish my paychecks if I switch jobs every couple of years? It’s more cost effective anyways due to many jobs not giving true COL raises. My degree (like for most) did not offer me enough opportunity in the job market that pays a livable wage. What I owe forfeits when I’m forced to live in a capitalist hellscape that is set up to keep the poor down. You can’t get blood from the stone.

They said we could go back on agency and work for them if we wanted. The fuck am i going to stay for after they treat us like that. Im so pissed.

I was never paid and filed a complaint with the Department of Labor. Here’s what happened.

I worked a week for a local doctor. The office staff was insufferable. The doctor would put the staff down (all female and he was male) calling them fat and telling them they needed plastic surgery. This was a plastic surgeon. The office manager was no better. He was the surgeon's brother. Otherwise, they both expected me to use my personal vehicle to travel between their offices during my lunch break, unpaid, and compensation was only $13/hr. So, I told the office manager I was seeking other employment. He texted me trying to negotiate and I shut that down. He then said “why didn't you say something if you weren't happy?” in a text and I blocked him from contacting me entirely because he just can't stand the word “no”. This must have made him angry because he decided not to pay me. I absolutely filled out a W4 and…
