Covid and keeping a job

So sick of getting a new job and then things out of my control pop up and the manager decides to terminate. I need money. I need to work. I need a job that I can do with my disabilities. If everyone would just relax.

Covid has caused a strain on everyone. I've gone through 6 doctors since Covid, over about 2 years. I can't get my refills on time. I keep having to get emergency refills. Walgreens is telling me they won't do another emergency refill. I don't understand that one either. They don't even have enough staff to keep the pharmacy open. They're so disorganized that they are putting refilled meds in baskets and those are strewn around the floor. How can they even tell me their regulations when the system is so taxed?! They are gonna have to work with people to get meds!

I was going up there every day last week because they kept getting the refills wrong. I'm still waiting on the docs to okay full refills. These are drugs that I can't just stop taking, they are dangerous - anti-siezure medications. Then my roommate saw in the news people who are on the verge of a heart attack are being sent home from the ER.

I know times are rough out there. I've got a new manager that thinks I've called out too many times already. That is nonsense. No one is getting proper health care. Even before Covid, jobs have been like this. Our work ethic is so messed up that people can get fired at a new job when things happen. It's just extra stupid that not even Covid can ameliorate this stupid preference of firing without giving people a real chance.

I don't have an answer for you, unfortunately, but America has a lousy record on Working directives as well as Health care.

I'm so glad I live in Britain.
