terrasilvershade:uncommonbish:“capitalism is a new slavery” thread When I worked at a fast food place, one of my coworkers(btw all of my coworkers were single moms, not ‘lazy teens’) got her foot run over. I don’t remember how it happened but all the bones in her foot were broken in multiple places and her doctor told her that she needed to stay off her feet for 6 months. The company gave her the bare minimum of paid leave which was only like two/three weeks. And you cannot sit down working in food service. No matter what. She had a signed note by her doctor, and she had to pay completely out of pocket since neither of her two jobs provided health benefits. She asked our corporate for at least another few weeks off to heal.They denied her. So, with a toddler to feed, she had to stand for 8 hours to work. The doctor gave her a boot so it wouldn’t be too bad for her but she said that her foot would never heal properly. She will always have a limp. Forever. Because a multimillion dollar company wouldn’t give her adaquate medical leave.Capitalism. -- source link
