Sing, Smile, Act, Laugh, Live

You’re forced to use sick time for doctor’s appointments when your manager is not

You’re given “comp” time for mandatory overtime

You’re denied a raise because “we offer better benefits here than other places so you actually come out ahead”

Your benefits are actually paltry compared to your supervisor’s, who gets to be in a higher benefit tier that no longer exists

You’re doing way more than 40 hours a week because they have you on salary and overtime “doesn’t apply” to you

Your supervisor/company schedules meetings over lunch time and break time so that even though you technically have that time available to use, you never get to use it when you need/want to
