5. Yep, not Covid, but the years I had no health benefits and limited time off

I was praised for going to work with a racking cough and dizziness. So many of those years days off rolled vacation days and time off taken for anything else into 10 working days off. It's a crappy deal and companies know it, but they get away with it and tout how generous they are by "letting you take it any way you want." I sincerely hope even though I'm now retired, that seeing what that does in a pandemic is not really choice.
