The bottom line

Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML

Today, in math class, I had the urge to fart. I had the bright idea that if I dropped my textbook and farted at the same time, nobody would hear it. I dropped my textbook, everyone looked at me, then I farted. Loudly. FML

Today, as I caught the train home, a woman got on and sat on the only available seat next to me. We got talking and as the train approached the next station, she said that this was her stop and she had to go. She exited the train and I turn to see her enter the compartment behind me. FML

You don't "have to" do anything. With the shortage of healthcare workers, you call the shots. If they're so fucked that one person quitting takes away all of your holidays, imagine how fucked they'd be if you left, too.

I feel like it’s a red flag whenever a workplace describes their environment as being one big family because most of the time they’ll put you at ease so they can take advantage of you for when sh** hits the fan.
