All joking aside, I don't understand how you could live like that? I'm finding it hard this year because I'm getting married in November and taking 3 weeks. That has meant that I've had to really eek out my other 3 weeks throughout the year.

How i live currently is very different than i used to pre-covid. Post? I take unpaid days off whenever i can afford it and feel like it. I don't fucking care anymore.

Damn, I'm sorry dude that taking days off has to be a financial decision. Good on you looking after yourself though.

Simple answer is we don't really live. We just kinda suffer day after day until someone breaks then a new policy is out in place to legally cover the corps ass. It's a miserable system and most of us are at a breaking point.
