Antiwork

This company has been pulling some absolute Shady practices for the last 6 months I wasn't even aware of until he got the call today. The company is based in India but they have workers in the US. Honestly it's an absolute shitshow. Six months ago they created another company where three of their workers were transferred to and employed without consent or contract under the new company. The new employer is technically another entity but is still owned by the original. Last year alone they changed our insurance four times and failed to notify a lapse of coverage for 3 months.

I'm not afraid to admit I'm horribly jealous of them for living the best life they could for the cost of virtually nothing. I've been thinking about this lately. I grew up and still am in horrible poverty and it seems like there's no way out. I live in a very small town without a qualification to my name OR a working car, so job hunting is difficult. I'm constantly stepping further down the ladder while some asshole is getting even further up for virtually no reason. I don't want much In life. The “American grind” is not for me. I'm content with a modest lifestyle. As long as bills are paid I'm pleased. But I absolutely feel jealousy that these people…
