A girl I know quit her new job at geico after just a month, the reason being that by attempting to better herself and family, she bumped up her salary enough to disqualify herself from the public assistance benefits she was enjoying. So instead of her trying to do something with her life, advance in the world and have self pride, she would rather quit and take a lower paying job to qualify for NY benefits again.(discounted childcare, food stamps, wic, and whatever the ny state heathly kids medical benefits are for. She calculated that she lost money by taking the higher paying job with career potential, gave that up for barely above minimum wage.
What the !@#$ is wrong here??!!
