So this new minumum wage thing?

Girlfriend got fired for customer complaints. She was a debt collector. (Sure the people she was calling were more than happy to hear from her). They didn't record the calls so the customer was always right. She was always at the top and received bonuses because of it.

They tried not to pay unemployment but she fought it and won. It took a month of back and forth to finally win. Wonder how many other employees they pulled that on. Sure over half just found different crappy jobs right away.

Seems as though everyone has worked there at one time or another. Horrible place to work so I've heard but decent pay and awesome vacation.

She was miserable every day and I took the brunt of it.

Around the time of her first check found out baby number 3 was on the way.

Turned off the cable, put the car up for sale,etc.

She didn't have a care in the world and kept saying it would be fine.

There was no way that if she got a different job that it would even pay for daycare. Let alone finding another one because we had to pull the kids out. (Waiting lists everywhere).

Stay at home mom it is.

Which leads me to what I think a lot of the population is doing.
