I was fired 10 weeks from my first child’s birth, lots of things led up to it, I’ll list some. They threatened to garnish my wages to pay back medical insurance they didn’t subtract for, then I got my 401k statement and my allocations hadn’t been submitted, I complained. A superior smashed my work because I was doing it right instead of how he wanted it done, I appealed for mediation. My wife is pregnant they brought me into the office to smugly discuss my plan I was pretty much a bitch and said I’d need to take a day or two off once the water breaks the altitude was sociopathic. I got told to stay home for 7 out of 10 days then was let go without two weeks notice via text and the PTO they offered was retracted. Its a scam industry (hvac) so I am not surprised. But for fucks sake, I’m the only one working, why did they target me for their mistakes. I was just taking their shit and looking for a new job discreetly on the side. I found a better job but I can’t let this shit slide without consequences.

I don’t mind making less to do what I like rather than doing what pays the best. I had a 6 year stretch where I worked almost 3000 hours a year to save up and pay cash for a house and when covid came I didn’t get any of that free money because the government office had my information all wrong, the stock market tanked, I ended up having to dip into my savings repeatedly because I continued paying my rent through the entire rent moratorium, by the time the stock market rebounded I broke even. In that time home prices went up 140% out here so all I had was a down payment and enough to not sweat losing a job or having to buy a new appliance etc… Working hard didn’t pay off for me because the government always finds a way to fuck you over, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll just work until I die unless there’s enough inflation that I can pay off my house fast or go back to saving 60% of my income, that’s a pretty unlikely scenario.
