I was grateful that before 0bummerCare hit us between the eyes that I had an excellent crew in place who all thought of one another as family. That helped.
Older, Retirees that worked for me gave some of their hours to the younger set that needed a certain amount of hours to stay above water.
We full-time people LOST our Flex accounts for healthcare, though Corporate kept us on a decent health insurance plan and we weren’t forced into 0bummerCare.
32 hours a week as Full Time? Yeah, right! In our busy season at a Garden Center (April 1 - Father’s Day) we’d have 32 hours in already by Wednesday! We had 3 full time staff (me and two others) and the rest were part-time/seasonal.
Somehow, we managed to pull it off, and continued our winning streak as far as sales went. But it was exhausting.
Excited to see what happens next session for SCOTUS because they are finally taking up 0bummerCare.
Kill the beast! Kill it with FIRE! ;)
