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?

    Does this mean being able to deal with hard time and coarse personalities, or being treated truly terribly?

    I don’t “take shit” from an employer by interviewing for a new job.

    If they are rude to me I smile, nod, complete the task, and then go open LinkedIn and start talking to recruiters.

        No one wants to work with the edgy dick.

        The reason “professional behavior” exists as a concept is so people aren’t awful to be around while you work with them.

        You are copying the behavior you claim to dislike.

        Learning the difference between professionalism and “obedience” will be big growth in your maturity.
