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?

    I don’t take shit from my employer.

    I have a manager who hates me because of it. But as long as I do my job well, and as long as everyone else likes me, I can push back as much as I fucking want.

    Helps that I have a disability, one of the few times it works in my favour is in employment.
