Antiwork

This isn't about me, but this is about someone close to me. Basically, she's in her late 30's, been working most of her life so far. She has a good paying job, works full time, and sinks all her money into insurance, medical bills, and the medication required to keep her generally function enough to work. Work is destroying her body, and requires constant medication, therapy, and insanely expensive 30 minute procedures ever couple of months just to manager her pain and to provide her enough functionality to do her job, with work restrictions. The system is draining her for everything she has. Her sick time, her savings, her vacation time, her spare time, all of it going to feed the greedy medical and capitalistic sink whole that we were born into. We're legitimately trying to figure out how to move to another country just to be able to provide…

I want a part time job. I applied for easy cashier shift, and got a phone interview request. 1pm comes and goes. 40 minutes later, they call. I ignore it. If you are hella late to a phone interview, you probably don't run a good business and I'm not working for you.

I know you guys love a story and I'd be glad to post but I don't want to screw myself over by tipping off my boss if I need to prepare for legal action. That said, I live and work in PA which to my understanding leaves the decision of paying out pto up to the employers but I can't find a copy of my contract and the best I can find is a copy of the Employee Handbook that I was supposed to sign but never did. The handbook does not address what happens to PTO when an employee quits. So did I screw myself? Also I was a delivery driver and as many of you probably know, none of the drivers for amazon actually work for amazon, it's all 3rd party contractors that amazon hires.

I've been working here for a week, this is my second time working here in the same position. I quit 6 months ago because of poor treatment, low pay and them working me to death. We were and continue to be under staffed and most of the staff we have now are pretty much just warm bodies to fill time slots because they cannot fulfill a major aspect of the job. My Mom convinced me to come back because they were issuing a pay raise and my then current job (that i love!) just was not cutting it. I'm trying to make sure that this job isn't as detrimental to my physical and mental health like before but as the title states I hate it here. I feel horrible because I'm in a caregiver position but half the people I'm caring for I can't stand. How soon is too soon…
