I see a lot of comments across subreddirs jump to the conclusion of “that's a red flag” “id quit right away” “report to xyz”, but I wonder whether the person receiving that advice would be better off if they follow that advice and quit that job.
I have spent my career quitting on companies where I felt the work culture was toxic. Many, many employers later, I realized every company has its problems, and they all do a number on me mentally. Recently with the current job market, I find myself without a secure job for the first time in my career. I think about all the times I could have put up with a job, suck it up and take the paycheck. Have I been I too headstrong leading to my current financial predicament?
For our own mental health, I agree with a lot of the advice on here, or other subreddits like r/jobs, r/latestagecap, or this one. I can attest to it myself. Yet, when I look at the imbalance of power in our capitalistic, hereditary, unequal society, I wonder whether we have no choice but to make do with the options, or in some cases, only option we each have.
