    Every job I’ve ever had you could take a day off for things like medical appointments.

    Every job you’ve had has been better than the job I had. You do know they don’t have any legal obligation to do that, right? It’s almost if you didn’t have the job I had.

    You say you have decent insurance which means a somewhat decent job

    No, it means my wife has a decent job.

    I’m just continually amazed at how few people are willing to put tbe work in to take care of things. If

    You don’t fucking know me or my life. You have no idea how much work I’ve put into my health. I’m going to the Mayo Clinic in March due to illness. Do you know how hard it is to get into the Mayo Clinic? Do you know how much work and effort that takes?

    No, you fucking don’t. Because you’ve had a cushy job and a cushy life.

      Holy fuck dude. You are fucking mental.

      I’ve been broke and struggling my entire life. My parents fucked me over, my father gave all of our money (what little we had) to the church of scientology. I’ve worked retail, restaurants, run my own pc repair service, helped a few people build websites, delivered furniture, did outside sales and more than I want to go into here My last “real” job was as a utility locate tech making $12.50/hr. Now I work for myself (again), yesterday I made $250+, today I’m at $90 8 hours in. Does that sound cushy to you?

      You have to stand up for yourself because no one else will. When I worked foodlion I literally wrote on the time off calendar that I wouldn’t be in the state and if they scheduled me that’s on them. And yes, they legally have to allow you to take off for health stuff. There is also fmla which they can’t deny.

      Seriously dude. Stop being a fucking victim and whining about how bad you have it. We all have our issues and personally I’ve been able to survive being out of work for over a year without evicted or losing weight. As I said up chain, you make shit happen when it needs to happen. Or you can sit back and bitch and whine like a toddler.

      You might consider spending less time on here and more time figuring shit out. It’s clear by how active you are on here that you are tantamount to a shut in. You can’t actually be working a job that let’s you spend all your time on here but doesn’t allow you to take time off for medical stuff.

      I’m done here and I’m going to block your whiny victim ass because I have to actually work and keep building my business so I can maybe, sometime in the future, not be worried about my day to day finances.
