In my country (Ecuador, a socialist country), we have normalized exploration and poor job conditions. I recently resigned from my last job because I found that my boss and the company I worked for were deducting a portion of my monthly salary without my knowledge. This maybe might not happen in other developed countries.
I decided not to say this to my mother and family and keep this a secret because I knew that this could impact her and make her feel sad. I only told her that it was a personal decision. I was considering suing my boss, but I found out he is a parent of 3 kids.
I worked there for almost an entire year under poor conditions, a lousy salary, no chances of medical care, or unpaid additional work hours. The worse is that here we often see it as something usual, other colleagues told me that I was lazy and soft for not continuing work under those conditions, and even my boss attempted to scare me, saying that I would not find another job.
I'm 28 years old, and I am considering migrating to another country and starting again from scratch.
