I’ll probably get downvoted to hell and back for this but I took a new job in early January. They have (like too many companies in America) a probation period before I am allowed to enroll in healthcare benefits and I cannot afford COBRA from my last job. I also get no sick time, cannot work from home, and don’t get to use PTO for six months.
So I am sitting here at work coughing my head off. I can’t go to a doctor without the insurance to see if it’s Covid or to get treated for it, and I cannot take a sick day.
I don’t feel bad. The company built this dumb ass policy, I’m just playing along with it.
