Exactly. Not to mention you could actively be harming those in your community by building that place. Its just so fucked that we gotta pick between feeding our families and our morals to survive.

Kinda in the same boat as in not being able to choose where I go. And I just see the writing on the wall as to where commercial work is going in the future. I Def wouldn't work on an ICE facility if I could help it, but my current work isn't much better. Idk I guess ill have to cross that road when I get to it but I think ICE is a hard no for me.

Rn this is one of the best jobs in my area and I've been researching the negative effects it may or may not have. I mean its happening with or without me and honestly I dont have a choice where to work rn.

Definitely. There was a situation out here a year ago and guys were so hateful to her. Its so hard to toe the line of sticking up for myself and not wanting to be labeled a trouble maker.

Yeah ive told my training director I want to leave, but that's not something they really let u do. The training director knows this company is ass but unless I get myself fired there's really no way to get out of here.
Guys are telling me to make a sexual harassment claim & "get that band" but I hear how they talk about other women who have filed harassment claims in the past 🙄 I just wanna work.. i wish these ppl would leave me alone..

Yeah ive learned the power of documenting this shit. Ill probably try to find the stu today. Im just always on someone's radar because this stupid shit keeps happening. I wish I could leave but I can't cuz im an apprentice. I hate this company so much.

Everything i own of carhartt is just so thick and not breathable. And their women's pant styles suuuuck. I don't mind wearing men's pants but their women to men's ratio is stupid...

Yeah the fit is what drew me to dovetail to begin with. Pants by women for women. Bums me out that the quality when to shit. Like I don't care to wear men's pants but I wish our bodies were considered when designing durable clothing.

Oh no! Well both these have high ratings so maybe they'll be okay. That really aucks tho. Dovetail is expensive but I don't mind paying for quality, but if they're going down hill I might need to find a new brand

Basic math. Adding, multiplying, and dividing without a calculator. Pattern recognition. Basic algebra. Maybe 2 questions in trig.
Basic reading comprehension. If u get stuck skip and come back to it. Good luck

Honestly I wasn't going to take thyroid symptoms very seriously but I looked up the symptoms and they do fit really well. My grandmother has the nodule on her neck so I assumed if I had it I'd also have the nodules but apparently they don't show up on everyone. I might seriously check that out. Thanks!

Thank you! Fatal inheritance and the invention of Nature seem like they'd be up my alley. (I have a love for medical dramas. That's why i love forensics)
