Title says it all really… I finally take a vacation after over a year working at this company with no raise or even a Christmas bonus. It took 6 months to get them to pay benefits that were originally agreed upon during the interviews. I asked for a raise because I couldn’t afford my ADHD medications out of pocket costs anymore and they made it seem like they were doing me a favor.
I make “too much” for state assistance at $20/hr. I take home about $39k/yr at that rate. My health insurance is $300/mo. even with company paying 50% which I would lose and I am currently recovering from Covid-19 that I contracted while on vacation 7 days ago.
We are all just bags of meat collecting shiny shit floating around on a big blue rock in the middle of space and I can’t wait to get caught up on Moon Knight now that I’m not exhausted and feeling like I was hit by a freight train.
