This god-forsaken country (USA, not a rough guess) is literally built on slave labor for the sole purpose of building you up only to throw you in the fucking garbage in a day's timeline.
Context: I live in KY and was working as a health concierge for Ascend Medical, a startup based in Georgia, I answered phones and made appointments for patients, signed them up for memberships etc. I made $20 an hour which is really good money for the poor area I live in. I was paying two houses worth of bills (Disabled stepbrothers with dead parents, it's a thing) but I was living sorta comfortably, I enjoyed my very stressless job and man I had HOPE for the first time in so long I had forgotten what it felt like.
In fact this lasted all the way until the 1st of March this year (literally 4 days before this post) when we had a surprise meeting with no advanced warning after maybe a month of working there, and the effect was that we hired too many people, not enough appointments on the schedule etc. and we were going to be a cap casualty. Because of where I live and the timing (this being the first of the month, I've been spending all my money on winter electricity bills and other people's bills etc), I know I'm not going to get anything like this again anytime soon, but everyone (my electric on a payment plan, my landlord wanting rent) wants everything NOW.
I just give and give and give and when I try to get any leeway, it has to be NOW and I should be blamed and shamed for it. I'm going to lose everything again. I don't want to do anything but go away for a VERY long time.
