#and im so angry thwy wont juat give him paid leave to let him heal

The American work system is so fucked that my 70 year old dad who is in a wheelchair because he has a herniated disk has to come to work because he has no sick or personal leave days left. He has to work for a whole month to accrue a single paid sick day.

And he would accrue personal leave at a rate of 8.5 hours for every month worked but the administration made it clear that even if he does, he's only allowed to use 16 hours worth which means 2 personal leave days only and he's used those up, you know, having terrible back and leg pain.

And he's already losing money having to leave early for doctors appointments.

#i have to go with him as his on call nurse every day #im exhausted #hes exhausted #and im so angry thwy wont juat give him paid leave to let him heal #but we can't afford to not have him work #because i applied for like 25 different positions #and nobody got back to me #literally not a single job responded #I HATE capitalism so much
