    Nice false dichotomy. There’s a whole spectrum of “being fairly compensated for your labor in a safe and reasonably flexible workplace” in between “barely subsistence” and “Jeff Bezos”.

      I’m just asking, not trying to be a dick. I realize there’s a whole spectrum of being fairly compensated for your labor, but fair compensation does not equal being paid the same as Jeff Bezos just because you’re coming in on time and doing what you agreed to do in your job acceptance offer. A workplace does not have to flex to accommodate every need of the worker, nor can it if it hopes to survive.

        I’m just asking, …

        I don’t see a question.

        … they are actually quitting toxic jobs

        There’s a qualifier there. Toxic jobs are, in my understanding, those which underpay, overwork, eschew safety, fail to respect the humanity of employees, or demand that workers put their jobs ahead of anything else. Employers all too often make far greater demands on employees than were “agreed to in [the] job acceptance offer,” unless you’re in a union, where labor is able to collectively bargain for contracts.

          By your definition, ALL jobs are toxic jobs. If you ever find a position that doesn’t expect those things of you, let me know.

            While I disagree that not all jobs are toxic by that definition, even if they were, the implication that workers should just shut up and keep their heads down about it is the problem, and you are the hilariously wrong person being referred to in the post. Keep licking those boots, and being grateful for the taste.

              I like the taste, it’s kind of like your mommy’s cunt, only much healthier. You can delude yourself however you wish, but it’s obvious that you are the one who is ignorant in this situation. Have a nice life, scumbag!
