Yeah, that’s a crock. My first corporates job did that to us, and then never approved the paid vacation requests, let-a-lone the banked time-off we were promised for being such good cubicle slaves working above and beyond, and it is all legal because “exempt salary employee”

I have two degrees in music theory and a masters in English
Oh you poor baby. You remind me of my college roommate junior year, everyone knew he was gay except him.
My parents used to winter in Arizona. They told me many of their neighbors used to go to Mexico for dental care, but allegedly Mexico (I would think America but my dad said Mexico) is trying to put a stop to folks crossing the border for this kind of care.
insurance isn’t SUPPOSED to cover regular expenses. YOur car insurance doesn’t pay when you take your car to the shop for maintenance. If you want that you’ll need to find someone willing to sell you a dental warranty. Reach out to carshield, they aren’t doing great at getting me to buy an extended warranty on my car, maybe you’ll convience them to expand their business model. ;-)
my parents didn’t have teeth by the time they were in their 30s either. Americans have a rather out-of-proportion concern about their teeth. I know its a trope that Englishman have bad teeth, but look, dental isn’t covered by British universal health care because most times its primarily cosmetic , even things American dentists say are essential, and not a true health concern.
When I was in college I learned I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. Now I know just enough C++ to be able to translate dev speak into corporates speak and back, can claim to be an engineer, and get to talk to stupid people, who think they are smart, who think that I’m really smart, and I spend more of my day on social media. I had one job that in the six months I was there I think I actually did MAYBE 40 hours of work. If it wasn’t for “business conditions related to COVID-19” I’d probably still work there, though I’m making more, and working somewhat more, now.
