This has been emotionally overwhelming. I don’t really know what I’m feeling, or if it’s even okay to feel this way I just don’t have the words. I know my dad is gone, but my heart hasn't fully registered it yet, leaving me incredibly confused. I look at his photos, and maybe because everything happened so fast, I just can't wrap my head around how he’s gone and how it all unfolded so quickly. I’m only 22, and I honestly don't know how I'm going to move forward. I can't process that he left so soon, and it hurts deeply to know he won't be here to share all the milestones and experiences I have ahead of me

Qué onda con las empresas acá en Uruguay y la famosa "maña" de los tres meses? Te contratan por el sueldo mínimo, te negrean lo que pueden, mostrás compromiso, llegás puntual... y mágicamente, a los 85 o 88 días, te llaman de RRHH para decirte "no cumpliste con el perfil" o "reestructura de personal".

Lo que más me calienta es que:

Lo hacen sistemáticamente con gente joven. Saben que necesitamos la guita mientras estudiamos y la experiencia, entonces nos usan de "comodín" de temporada o para cubrir baches y nos descartan antes de que generemos derechos de despido.

Es un ciclo infinito: te echan antes de los tres meses, contratan a otro pibe nuevo, y así rotan personal eternamente sin pagar un peso de indemnización.

Con el sueldo mínimo apenas sobrevivís, y encima vivís con el corazón en la boca cada vez que se acerca el fin del tercer mes.

It has been almost 3 weeks my dad passed away. These past weeks I've been in denial. I know it's real but it didn't feel that way. Lately I can only think about how healthy Dad was and how in just 6 months he deteriorated. What a treacherous disease. Today it really hit me that he's gone. I was at a gathering and something as simple as realizing that life goes on and people move on too completely broke me. I burst into tears when I realized that life continues without him here. I'm only 22, and it shatters me to think about all the years I have left to live without him by my side.
Sending love to everyone who's dealing with a loss or supporting a family member w cancer. Hope it gets better for all of us ❤️
