[quote=Anonymous]I move to DC in 1996, but I have lived yet in a different bubble. In my bubble, we don't have any benefits like PTO, healthcare, or retirement. The only time I could take a vacation or have an extra day off, was when I twisted my ankle, got a flu, got hit by a car, or was let go. Same for every co-worker of mine and most people in service industry. I couldn't even fight for minimum wage or money I had earned. Imagine asking for a PTO or taking a day off for no reason. Effort was made not to have to take a day off. Then we made an effort to find someone to cover for us. Last resort was a day off and then we came back to some mental whip-lashing how ungrateful we were. Working all the time became a norm after so many years. [/quote]
