These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories. (64.media.tumblr.com)

Employers don't understand (or want to understand) the concept of "Lawful evil", where just because someone is out of sick days doesn't mean you aren't a monster for keeping them from their cancer-stricken daughter.

"out of sick days" -- what in the name of fuck is that??

It's one of the many ways our corporate overlords use to keep us chained to our desks/factories.

No medical coverage by the government, you need me, The Employer, for that.

Limited time off (sick and vacation), you need to remain at your station at all times.

Bare fucking minimum wages. You cannot save so you can leave, you must remain.
