Go to work sick because you can't afford to call out
Having no PTO because you're a temp who will probably be there for the next 5 years as one so the company can save a few dollars
Having your family miss you because you work OT so you can feed them
Desperately saving for the holidays because you can't work on them but don't get paid when you don't work
Scraping by on what people keep trying to insist is a "living wage," when you live with no extravagance and you're still broke
My life.
