Why the f**ck have we in the United States not organized and voted for politicians who will make real changes in labor law in regards to paid time off and healthcare?
The science is pretty clear; that we are a very stressed out and mentally unhealthy nation, and a lot of that is due to the fact we are all over here grinding 24/7 365 days a year getting screamed at by some maniac boss without a vacation. And without our toxic soul sucking glorified indentured servitude "jobs", we have no healthcare and no ability to not go into massive medical debt for things like cancer, Covid, heart problems, and whole hosts of issues that aren't our fault.
As most of you are probably aware, in most European countries, they work 32-40 hour weeks and have guaranteed 5-6 weeks vacation. Yes, they get taxed more, but its pretty much irrelevant in my opinion. They don't need the money due to all their social services. Their quality of lives are higher.
I have a good job here in California, all things considered. 6 figures + benefits. Unfortunately it is borderline breaking my mental health with the stress. I'm getting screamed at weekly by my boss who micromanages our every key stroke and watches us work on the cameras when he isn't in. I have 15 days PTO to use between vacation and sick days, but we are so busy that my boss gives us mad shit if I even use my vacation. He's literally a psychotic maniac from hell and our whole office looks out the windows to see when his car rolls up to work because we know shits about to go down every morning. He's an owner, so he is the boss of HR. There's literally nothing I can do about it other than take it or quit. And to get to this point I worked through a whole host of shitty jobs like scraping gum off of sidewalks, washing dishes, and loading UPS trucks in the 100 degree summer heat.
I just watched my buddy get his first job out of college with a 4 year STEM degree. He had no healthcare and needed something. His first job only gets 5 days off a year total. That's it. No extra sick days. No unpaid leaves. He has to be there 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. If he takes 1 day off because he needed a mental health day, that means no week long vacation for the entire year. I know there are jobs out there that have it even worse, with zero days off.
The point of this isn't to get in a pissing contest about how hard your job is or how much you work... or for someone to come out and say I should be grateful for my job. Because all of that is just some version of Stockholm Syndrome. We need to vote for better workers rights. Paid vacation, paid parental leave, not getting emotionally abused in the workplace, universal healthcare. This shit is insane what we are dealing with.
