If you want to hear something really wild I’m pretty sure my cousin doesn’t get any PTO or benefits (including health insurance!!!) at her full-time job. Which like. I would say is completely wrong (and it is lmao) but she could totally work somewhere else if she wanted to, but she likes the ~vibes~ of this place and thinks they’re good people (it’s a really small, new business). They brought cake for everyone once which my cousin thought was great and I said “I’d rather have insurance than cake” 🤦‍♀️. I wasn’t popular for that one. Anyway that’s my rant lol

this is a reply to something I reblogged several weeks ago but I forgot to respond. anyway yea the job market in the US is appalling in many ways. no PTO for full time is horrendous even by our standards though. I hope she gets out of there

#i also work for a small business and i keep waiting for us to hire enough people to be able to legally unionize #i dont know if we will ever get there. if we keep growing the way we do then we should but. we just had a guy leave #and have made no move to replace him at all. and then they wonder why we're just barely keeping pace #during one of the slowest times of year #but at least I have insurance!! and a meager amount of PTO #but changing jobs won't make the PTO situation any better #and i otherwise do really like my job and my coworkers a lot. turns out liking ur coworkers is huge for preventing mental fatigue #but anyway i'd have never taken the job if it didnt come with benefits #the benefits are just so scarce compared to elsewhere in the world. it's rough out here #anon #thank u kind friend #may 2024
