Do you have a life?

So I've been thinking lately, and I've sadly come to the conclusion that it is our jobs that our screwing us over. 
Say what? How are out jobs, where we earn money, screwing us over? Wouldn't it be a lack of a job that would do that? Well think about it, you only get paid so much for your services, sometimes (Usually) not enough. Not only that but you are only given a set amount of sick days and vacation time, you have to be in your desk at a certain time, no matter the weather or traffic conditions.
Still unconvinced? In my opinion I am shocked at how, due to our jobs, we are unable to actually have a life. If you have just began a new job and your child gets sick then what? You don't have any days to take off and you know your boss won't let you take off. 
I get that yes obviously these things have to be set but still. How are we possibly meant to actually live and contribute to society when we are all so busy rushing to work and stressing because hey you have a child dying of cancer and you don't get to be with them because you have no more sick days. 
Stupid corporate America, it's screwing us over. But do those millionaires who spend their days in bed care about poor old you? Hell no! They expect you to do your work and earn them more money no matter what. Sucks to be you, huh?
