If this country is going to tie insurance to work, then ALL jobs should give affordable insurance. No matter how many hours you work. Across the board.
Banks and financial institutions are not there to help the working class. People need to remember this.
Nothing else to this, it’s just frustrating. Like why do I need to start work at 4 AM just to run a machine or drive a forklift but the pharmacy and the hospital and any other important business gets to open at 8 or 9 and close at 4 on the dot.

Trickle Down Economics in a nutshell.
Reddit holds enough power to crash the stock market. Why won't we use this power to unionize and plan an attack together? I like that we are sharing our stories here but I feel that it's time to, maybe, read some french history books for inspiration.

Since my coworker left for maternity leave, I‘ve been taking over her responsibilities (hers were higher than mine). This has been going on for more than half a year and it‘s quite exhausting. I‘ve asked my boss for a raise, because I‘ve been payed the same amount since I entered this job two years ago. He agreed, since my responsibilities have doubled and I also had to train a new employee that’s supposed to help our team during my coworkers maternity leave. He brought my request to HR and our COO.
