“…which is his right as owner.”
So I’m working at this place I kinda like for more than a year now. It’s the first time I don’t hate the place, the bosses and the employees. I kinda feel like I’m part of a family. And it’s a great improvement because I have always hated my past jobs. I’m currently working part-time because I went back to school. But I recently realized that school is not made for me. In the meantime, a new position opened at my current job. They hired a girl without any experience only because they knew her for years and got well along, but she quit because she wasn’t paid enough. So the position is vacant again and the company is looking for someone new. I thought it would be a great option since I already know the team and part of the job and that I want to quit school and…
I have grand visions of starting a business and would put a focus on how we treat employees. Essentially changing the way the American workforce is traditionally thought of (company first).

Don’t get me wrong, I have no desire to work there anyways but I have to because I want a new apartment so I can get out of the shithole area I live in right now. I have been sick a lot for the past few months of working there. I injured my back, had two infections after my wisdom teeth surgery and I have been very sick with flu a lot. I get it, it almost seems like I’m lying but I’m seriously not okay. My boss was thinking about firing me because I have been sick a lot and I am feeling sick again. She said to me that I can’t keep taking so many sick leaves. Fuck this. Yay great I have to go work sick and I deal with over 200 customers a day! I feel so bad because I don’t want to infect the customers.
