Taking the time off isnt really an option when you have groceries and bills. Why arent companies paying for the (often mandatory) leave time again?

You use the money from the stimulus they gave out specifically for these situations

You know why they called it a stimulus right.

When it's hard to see the benefits, the tavern is a decent way to seal off all the stimulus, feel something close to death but just a little bit

And it's assholes that do this to blame!

Wife's friend got covid. Work allowed her to come in anyway. Wife got covid. Friend recovered, wife got long covid. Wife struggled breathing for so long that work fired her. She's now been out of work 5 months with absolutely no financial support from state or federal.

I feel sorry for the earth's population, 'cause so few live in the U.S.A. At least the foreigners can copy our morality, they can visit but they cannot stay.

Try to budget beforehand in case that happens?

If it's currently happening then I dunno, would need a breakdown of income and expenses to give advice.

Its crazy how easy people justify potentially destroying other peoples life without a second thought. I might be the weird one. But Id feel fuckin terrible if I found out I was the one who put your wife on that state.

Covid definitely added a lil more cynicism to my life.

You can't budget your way out of poverty.

Yeah that's true but an objective look might point out some wiggle room. Granted that's sharing a lot of personal information

Stop buying iphones and the latest graphics card, focus on getting new certifications, then find a job where you don't need to worry about these things

Oh this tired DDIQ strawman.

And you wonder why you're getting mocked?

Should be, but she wasn't qualified for any protections yet so nope. And it's even worse than it sounds. HR came to talk to her about missing time, because she'd gone home early repeatedly due to troubles breathing. HR saw a simple sentence winded her, sent her home, then fired her over text hours later. Days before she'd qualify for unemployment.

@Conflict

I was looking for that post you quoted to genuinely answer it and it took me 2 full minutes to realize what was happening. I looked at post #s to see if the person had me blocked lol
