    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
