They are disrespectful and to some degree devoid of humanity. My husband nearly died when he worked there, because of the unreasonable schedule they assigned him. He was doing dialysis from home, and had to do it three times a day, at least once on his lunch break. But they would give him assignments that crossed into the time, which caused him to miss his dialysis sometimes. To make matters worse, they put him on the weekend schedule, which is a grueling schedule for a reporter with kidney failure. This was all an attempt to get rid of him. But because he was the chief breadwinner, he stuck it out, dragged himself in there, at times feet and hands so swollen it was unbearable to watch. A liberal media outlet run by capitalists?! Well, the audacity! Did she ever think that the reason she (and her husband and other coworkers) lost gainful employment is because they make a product no one wants because it drips with the same condescending liberal crap that drips from her screed?!?!
Why is working on weekends more grueling for a reporter with kidney failure than, say, working on Tuesday and Wednesday? I’m honestly not trying to be flippant, but if you have a chronic illness, why is one day worse than another?
