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?
And then you’re blacklisted by all the other business owners around town, and you’re homeless by the time the case even gets to court. You can do this sort of stuff in a big city, or if you have an in-demand career. You can’t do this stuff in a small to medium sized city with a ho-hum economy.
