Why is it so wrong to want a life?

I am a full time employee at GD OTS, and it isn't enough. Full time, and my husband and I still barely make ends meet. Usually having to overdraft so we can, well live. My works HR, who quit last week, was being investigated for discrimination towards me and someone else. She was unable to have children, and literally took liberty over us to withhold pay. And ever since having my son, almost a year ago. We have not been financially stable. Only after coming back from leave did I get my raise and promotion. And this year we got a whopping $0.95 raise, which is the best they've given in 3 years. I shouldn't have to work overtime just to pay bills, or buy groceries. They will always say, I don't work hard enough. When literally what I am allowed to do, is dictated by others. Out of my…


I am a full time employee at GD OTS, and it isn't enough. Full time, and my husband and I still barely make ends meet. Usually having to overdraft so we can, well live. My works HR, who quit last week, was being investigated for discrimination towards me and someone else. She was unable to have children, and literally took liberty over us to withhold pay. And ever since having my son, almost a year ago. We have not been financially stable. Only after coming back from leave did I get my raise and promotion. And this year we got a whopping $0.95 raise, which is the best they've given in 3 years. I shouldn't have to work overtime just to pay bills, or buy groceries. They will always say, I don't work hard enough. When literally what I am allowed to do, is dictated by others. Out of my control. I can't work OT because I would be taking away work from someone else. The industry here in Alabama, are not paying employees properly. An at-will state, non union, and just shitty management all over. I just don't understand how this is okay? How has it ever been okay? Why? I will probably never get to retire thanks to our “system”. I have honestly thought about selling my eggs or even ovaries. Just to make ends meet. I should not have to. No one should. This is so sad. Just so sad. I don't go on vacations every season, we may go on one. And that is only at tax time. I don't do the avocado toast, no time. I don't go get coffee, gas is too high. Get another job, I shouldn't have to work 2 jobs. Not when profits are so high. Work is in demand. The system stopped working when yall got greedy. Not me. Wanting a living wage isn't greed. It is fair.
