I remember a time where losing a high wage job meant under all circumstances you must take the lower paying job and work to death to get back to the original position. And if you didn't accept that low wage position you were the black sheep of society met with (sometimes extreme) anger
Logically and mathematically that just doesn't make sense. Logically because certain low wage jobs are already stressful, so why stack that on with finding another job in your field? Mathematically because one would have to work almost double to cover 1 or 2 bills and that's not including everything else. And then let's talk about the additional time one has to take from said job for things like interviews and assessments. But the anger, that's the real kicker. I feel the anger may stem from past experiences but the idea of someone having a meltdown because Jack won't accept a job making $6 less is just astonishing.
Have you ever experienced/witnessed something like this?
