It happened to me a decade ago before I switched careers. I did substitute teaching and once I hit 29 hours for the week they’d send me home so I wouldn’t qualify for healthcare. I was regularly told I was one of the good subs, and I loved working with the staff and kids.

I tore my rotator cuff one summer and just had to grin and bear it for a year because I had no coverage and was worried about the bills. Thanks Uncle Sam!

I was working floating hours (unpredictable shifts, can’t work second job easily) for a computer store chain, I did this for the promised health care plan after six months employment.

I was fired one week before my insurance was to start; I was accused of stealing by a manager (who was doing the stealing himself).

I have had the exact same thing coincidentally happen at two other shit jobs, all three times it was actually the night manager. So they all had insurance and much higher pay, and they still stole from the business and screwed over their poor coworkers who had to be available for three different shifts every day of the week.

Things are much worse now, sorry kids.

  Class traitors suck. People that lean into the crab in the bucket mentality is part of the reason we’re in this mess. Sorry you dealt with that.
