Dude - service industry jobs, which make up most of our work force, generally have no paid time of for
anything. Not for childbirth. Not for the death of your child. Not if you’re diagnosed with cancer. Not if you’re dying from a disease. There’s ****ing nothing. And employers shamelessly work people literally to death. I work with a guy who has blood leaking into the joints of his hips. He’s in agony. He can’t afford surgery and wobbles around work everyday carrying big bags of flour and breading around. He’s been there for years so he asked if he could do less physical stuff like inventory. Nope. Carry these 50 lbs bags around all day or lose your job. It’s like that all over. I mean, he’s exhausted, can’t sleep from the pain, trying to remain in recovery from opioid addiction, has been loyal to the company for years and they show more kindness to the machinery. I am NOT being hyperbolic. It is like that.
