The secret origin of Ultimate Dursin. I think it sucks when you are having to put up with so much bullshit and stressing about money and personality conflicts with a job — and then when you realize only after a lot of time and perspective that you were just a Union employee number on a spreadsheet and a number in the head count. So all the personal care and attention you gave to your clients, professors, work study kids really amounted to a hill of beans when the bean counters start looking at the profit model. Even though you didn’t have great union representation—in the end I think (and could be wrong - never been a part of a union) that you were lucky to have it. Though it certainly must not have felt like it at the time. Thanks for sharing this story! Thanks to you!
Thanks to you for reading, commenting and sharing (The Trifecta!) I wanted to write more about the students and actual good people i worked with, but obviously it wa sgetting long. As far as the union went, I was able to get some of the benefits, like extra money when my supervisor was out for surgery and I did her job, but when push came to shove, they weren't exactly The Teamsters. But it all worked out the way it was supposed to. Maybe some day I'll write a follow-up about working with the students and faculty. Stay tuned!
Absolutley relatable.

I feel that "You'lllllll figure it out" as one does!
