[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an hourly employee. I work, I get paid...I don't work, I don't get paid. So there's no such thing as sick days really.[/quote] I'm sorry. It's terrible and exploitive.[/quote] I worked 10-12-hour shifts without a break. When I was sick, it was usually ER trip from work because of work. One of my co-workers collapse on the street on her way home and caught a cab to ER. Ofcourse I didn't have insurance and employer definitely wasn't going to pay for it. As an hourly worker, we didn't have a contract or even a working punch-in machine. I lost a lot of money to wage theft. I have $0 in social security statement for several years, so it will follow me for a long time. I have worked with high fever and while throwing up in the bathroom, but not because I wanted to be a hero. I was afraid to be fired. I had been homeless before. [/quote]
