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?

    Can be, depending on how you actually act. A lot of people “who take no shit” are just assholes looking for reasons to be assholes.

      'Take no shit ’ as in being taken advantage of in your position. Increased work loads with the expectation to be complete within the day when it’s clearly a 3 person project.

      You are micromanaged, belittled and humiliated in front of your co workers and customers on a daily basis and spoken down to as if you suffer from a cognitive syndrome.

      = treated like shit

      I don’t see how not taking that behavior and standing up for yourself is being an asshole. You don’t let people walk all over you like that.
