  • My last contract had that and the first year I barely used 2 weeks. My regional manager started giving us heads up during contract negotiation time that we might not get it. Ended up taking 3 weeks that he approved and felt so good to actually use the benefits that were promised. He was going to retire soon anyways, so he was approving left and right.

    Ended up get hired back at the same place under a different company, and now our PTO and vacation is horseshit










  • I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.

    Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.






  • During lockdown my team was “mandatory local support” so we got take out lunch paid for 2 days a week day. Friday was cracker barrel day since it was close and filled us up enough for an “average Friday workload”. Mainly lazy days not wanting to get out of chairs due to “CB gut”. Cracker barrel will forever be “cinder block gut” to me now.

    But ehh, another dumb rebranding freakout that doesnt matter. You are still buying slop to go in your belly.

    Edit: Cracker Barrel was my shit when my family would do road trips. On one we drove past the state capital and my dad said “hey look at it!”. There was a cracker barrel roadsign on the highway and I screamed out “let’s get cracker barrel!”
