    I’m not at all shocked. At my company my coworker i rationing his medication. I’m concerned he could die at any time due to this. We as a team mentioned this to work and HR’s answer was they sent a provider listing.

      Bruh. That is literally a scenario I’d expect to see laid out in an email message in Cyberpunk 2077. Or the background for a Cyberpsycho story.

      How fucking dystopian.

      Wow. You should report HR to HR. Also get a new job. That’s like a rich city council person, who has full ability to help in many ways, giving a homeless person a magazine with real estate listings.

        Out of our department of 7; I found out during an interview that 5 of us applied for the same position at a competitor.

      Exactly. A more accurate headline would be “Americans are Falling Behind on their Income.”
