lol never knew anyone working minimum wage in the us?
the flu can have your ass fired
I live in a country with decent workers rights. I forget that America is a crap hole sometimes.
that is fair, i know in many places fast food can still be a real job
in the us it is fucking slavery with extra steps and government subsidization
Uh, no? I've worked some shit jobs, and none that would fire you for getting sick, not for a few days. Even Lowe's chained your sick days together. Sick one day? Sick for 5 days? All the same.
Not that we got paid, but we wouldn't get fired. If your job is that shit, another awaits.
if only it was always that easy
it takes some shot decisions or bad luck to get to the point but plenty of Americans cannot afford to lose that minimum wage job
