I understand that not everyone is fortunate to have money saved to be able to have the leeway to leave jobs whenever they feel like it and so forth. But I just feel like people have lost their sense of self-respect when it comes down to employment.
I am a firm believer that if you are working at a toxic place and are being harassed or bullied, to stand up to that behavior and tell them that you’re not going to take their shit, and if they continue you fucking quit and never look back.
I have known people who have not had a savings who have done this in the past and they end up finding a decent job that doesn’t treat them like shit. Do you feel like job Seekers don’t defend themselves anymore?
If you’re worth your words.
If you bag groceries, no one is going to give much of a shit whether you stay or go. On the upside, you probably won’t care much either as most employers in 2023 are as replaceable as their employees.
Keep that in mind and you’ll never get burnt, so long as you live somewhere with a varied enough employment scene for you to bounce around. If they’re as replaceable as you, it’s good peace of mind.
