New manager guilt tripping for calling in sick after infected and broken wisdom tooth extraction.

So I neglected a broken wisdom tooth for over a year due to not having health and much less dental care. This year I do (not through my employer but medicaid, I should say) and last week I managed to break the rest of my tooth to the gum line having the nerve exposed. I was in excruciating unbearable pain and I called in sick and went to the dentist on Monday, who referred me to an oral surgeon on Tuesday where I finally had my tooth pulled off, I then called in the following day also due to being still in a lot of pain after the surgery, and honestly high due to the pain meds (I work in a pharmacy and I need to count meds and make sure I’m giving everybody the right medicine among other things, I can’t do a half assed job), I told them…

PAYING $15,300 in tax on your $18,000 annual Social Security benefit means you get only $2,700 a YEAR! – “Up to 85% is taxed for above $34,000 for single and $44,000 for joint.

Company tried to swindle me out of an agreed wage!

So I got a job at a company for slightly less than what I am on at the moment but a higher commission. In 2/3 months I should be having a higher wage because of this so I though would be a good trade. I agreed a 4 week notice, worked & trained my replacement and even showed him a few automated sales techniques to make him top performer. Hes performing as one of the top sales staff in the country. Very happy for him and we got on very well. Anyway, I get to my new company on the first day and they have me about to sign the paperwork and the wage is lower than they said and the commission percentage is half of what was advertised! Needless to say I rejected the paperwork. Think is though my other company wont hire me again so now I am…

So you guys don’t wamt to contribute to amything while affording stuff or do you want workers to be treated as people instead of slaves?

The rules and description say that you guys don't want to work no matter what but some posts i saw say that they just wanted to be treated as people I am not saying one is impossible or the other im just asking. If you don't want to do anything for the world or your country is your opinion and your choice i will respect that or if you just want to be treated as people i respect that too
