#work complaints

1) dropped my health ins and other benefits because their system had “a glitch” I was without health ins until March and didn’t realize it, because I’d set it up and confirmed it had been set up during the election period

2) did not apply my raise to my paycheck

3) did not inform me that I was now salaried so my clock in procedure had changed

4) did not inform me that since I was now salaried I need to reselect all my benefits, so I almost got dropped off everything again

And now today I made an exciting discovery -- $300 has been deducted from my paychecks over the past month for my 401k....but it did not go into my 401k account. Where did it go? Who the hell knows, maybe HR decided to withhold it and reroute the money to pay for some of the countless past due invoices sitting in accounting.

Me: *Takes paperwork apart, unstaples everything, clips ragged edges, smoothes folds, tapes down tears, repositions flags, binderclips sections IF I HAVE TO, repunches holes so they align, sees there are are blank entries*

Me: *brings papers back to coworker and stares at them cause they already know what I'mma say.*

Coworker: GOD you're so picky! *takes paperwork back with greasy/wet hands and crumples several sheets*

Me: *cringes hard and worries about it for the next ever.*

Me later, existentially, floating in the void: how does the general populace function like this?
