Yeah, I would not want to do it. Luckily I don’t have to now. But did some real crummy jobs in HS and college.
I had 16 years in with the state of AZ and was laid off. Those who say that once you are with the gov’t you have a job forever lie.
I tried to get reinstated but because I had been making around 20 grand a year more than most of the jobs I was interviewing for at minimum pay wasn’t hired. Law required I keep my pay. Agencies weren’t willing to hire me because they couldn’t afford me in their budget.
I now work as a Direct Care Worker taking care of my husband.
The killer is: I pay for health insurance on my own. My plan is the cheapest that non medicare retirees with the state of Arizona offers and it is 800 a month.
My saving grace is my mother is well off and supports me. Do I like it, no but she understands.
