      Quite an overreaction, isn’t it?

      If you are given more responsibilities than you can handle on a job, you don’t go shooting your boss. You do whatever you can handle, and don’t care about the rest.

        Lisa, if you don’t like your job you don’t strike, you just go in every day and do it really half-assed - that’s the American way.

        And then you get fired for underperforming, and then you’re explaining to your child that they’ll just have to keep painfully coughing because there’s no insurance to pay for the inhaler anymore.

          At that point you’re getting fired no matter what. Get an exit plan going.

          First, you should be looking for another job anyway. A good workplace doesn’t do that, and you should look for one.

          Second, if they could afford firing you, you wouldn’t be overloaded with more work than you can handle.

          Third, go fight for some adequate health-care that is independent from your workplace. The way the US (and yeah, it’s only the US) does it is borderline a human rights violation. At least officially, you live in a democracy, so go demand it works for you.
