Unbeknownst to some of us, America is not as free as they would have you think. Today my new boss in the 19th job I've had in my five years of living here, greeted me this morning, by asking me to lift up y camisole way up high so that my cleavage would be unnoticeable. Which is kind of hard when you are a 38DDD like I am. She finished this off by saying, "I know I am old-fashioned." In my mind, I thought, "old-fashioned and plain old. Retirement should be calling." But I told her, it is hard to conceal cleavage when you are my size. Except with turtlenecks, but since this is Spring, those are in remission.
I just keep thinking, what is wrong with the American work system. Is it me? Did I hold them to such high esteem that none of them has been able to measure up, and when I lose my patience with waiting for them to measure up, I leave and try my hands (and luck) elsewhere. The benefits at this new place suck monkeyballs. Their life insurance only covers you up to your annual pay plus one dollar, their medical costs double what I used to pay at the old place, and it still has a high deductible, you pay extra for Vision (which I never used to, it was an all-inclusive plan) and most of their computer equipment is outdated. I cannot say enough about the outdated computer (and phone) equipment. It sucks so much it is embarassing. I feel like signing them to some kind of IFA so they can buy a whole bunch of equipment and refurbish the place.
So rest assured if you still work for GE, they have the best benefits (medical, dental, etc) out of the 19 establishments I have tried and tested. They take the prize. They suck with vacation time, but you can't have them all.
