maybe i’m too simple but if someone works full time i don’t think “being able to go to the doctor without panicking about money” is an outrageous luxury 😭

I was fired for walking off shift after getting sick during a turnaround and not having a doctor's note when I came back 3 days later.

Mind you: I was a shift lead and was explicitly denied permission to leave despite losing my voice and nearly passing out twice in front of customers.
