    I got a landscaping job where the guy training me was a decade-long employee. He worked with extremely dangerous chemicals in a cramped van. On the first day we passed a group with Medicare 4 All signs on the side of the road and he enthusiastically supported it because he couldn't afford to be seen by a doctor with the health insurance and wage that company paid someone working there for 10 years.

    As soon as the training period was over and they expected me to do full work duties, I immediately quit without notice.
