autists already found out she works at kohls I think
Until there is actual evidence, it is still speculation.
If the speculation is true, Kohl's is open 9am to 11pm. Phil ended the stream at 4:30pm. Estimate 30 min for dinner. Kat goes to work at 5pm. 5-11 is 6 hours. A manager would not be getting such shitty shifts. We can also include Phil telling us Kat has the day off sometimes thrice a week. We can assume Kat is part time minimum wage retail. It doesn't really matter where it is, Kat is bringing home less than $500 a week (at Seattle's generous $15/hr minimum wage). No wonder she doesn't help with bills.
------------------------
Last year I speculated Kat was not very good at her job. This was why she was so stressed. This was why her boss kept changing her schedule.
Are we to believe alfter a year of work at a department store they give a part time worker a week's vacation where she stays at home? You have to work for years for one of these corporations to get a vacation like that. And then spend it on doing nothing? Sounds suspicious. Maybe Kat was on disciplinary leave?
Suspiciously she has to work Halloween and Thanksgiving. And no, they aren't required to pay extra for holidays.
She seems to be home 3 days a week. Maybe getting 30 hours a week tops.
I've worked for some shitty corporations in the past. If you say you can only work nights and they want you gone, you get scheduled for 8am. If you can't work weekends you suddenly have a Saturday shift.
It's easier to get someone to quit than to fire them. If you fire them, you have to pay unemployment. If they quit, ha ha fuck off.
It might just be me, but from the way Phil talks about Kat, she might just be having work issues.
