46. and any raises are usually "take-aways" anyway, since every raise
is coupled with an increase in the employee's share of healthcare..

It's indentured servitude, and as much as employers complain, secretly, they love it..

We were held hostage to a job my husband hated, but our firstborn required a lot of medical help, and we could not get insurance on our own, or when he checked into other job, he was told that our son would not qualify for a specified amount of time, and would have limited coverage..(the was at a time when he was having surgery at Mayo Clinic, 4-6 times a year)..so we were tethered to that company..and they knew that my husband would jump through any hoops they wanted him to..
