    doomer yeah it feels like my vacations just exist to give me enough time to heal from my body’s slow deterioration under the normal workflow. Only to immediately find myself exhausted and sore within a couple weeks.

    I never managed to bank any leave/pto while I was working fulltime because every time i had a single day I’d crash out and call in sick

    Remember when Sanders was calling for the almighty 36 hour work week and libs were celebrating him for it? Lol

    i work 3 days a week over two jobs and its almost more than i can manage

      My favorite is being scheduled for a “4 day week” followed by a “3 day week” so you’re actually working a 7 day work week but not getting overtime yea

        This sounds illegal, but knowing this piece of shit country, I wouldn’t be surprised if your state allows this (assuming you live in the US)

          Yeah I’m in a part of the US where there are basically no employment laws at all. Employers don’t even legally have to give me any breaks, ever.

            I’m stuck in a similar state myself, yet I’m the entitled one for refusing to let these people continually fuck me over.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
