China has issued its most detailed warning yet against the excessive-work culture that pervades the country’s largest corporations, as a backlash grows against the punishing demands of the private sector.
I live in a large city but I wouldn’t consider it “major” in the sense of places like LA, Miami, New York, Boston, etc despite having a larger population than some of them
I’m living about as cheap as I can reasonably be living in my area. If I moved somewhere else id be taking a significant pay cut to the point where I’d be worse off despite the lower cost of living. You have no idea where I live, how much I make, what I’m doing, the job market surrounding it, my personal expenses, why I am where I am or any other information surrounding my circumstances that you’d need to be able to make an informed statement. And I have no interest in divulging a bunch of personal info to justify my existence to someone who thinks telling me “just go somewhere else” is useful in the slightest. Do you think I, or anyone of the millions of other people in a similar situation haven’t thought about just going somewhere else? Sorry to jump down your throat but if I had a nickel for every time I saw someone doling out surface level advice based on effectively no information I’d be financially secure and this exchange never would’ve happened

You may need to move somewhere cheaper if you can’t afford your current location.

Cool. If you make so much money living where you are doing what you’re doing, keep doing it.
Why should you get more before others who have less, though? Is it entitlement, or something else?
