Signed up for workplace insurance for the first time. Am getting screwed over because they’re charging me retroactively and took over two thirds of my paycheck.

So, this had been my first time ever signing up for insurance, period. I am 21f, and I work in retail in the USA. I tried to do some research and read through the options and figure it out myself after the one person I asked about it suggested I do this, but apparently this was my first mistake.

The owners of Boka, the executive chef, and upper management made the decision to stay open that night, even using the phrase “business is business”. All the workers were expected to continue working their shift that night, despite having just found out that their friend and coworker had passed away. They were even told that proceeds from the night would go to their coworker's memorial- as if to bait their love for their coworker into working harder.
