For future reference, that is always a bad idea no matter what the company.
- burkaman 10y agoMost people don't have the ability to choose not to rely on their employer.
- Neliquat 10y agoBut most can choose to work only for those they trust.
- zaphar 10y agoThis is not even close to being true if you also assume most people need to eat and pay rent/mortgage.
- cmdrfred 10y agoI don't even have the benefit of a high school education and came from a very poor background (think a step above Appalachia) and yet after a decade of working I have never been beholden to a single employer. Perhaps the problem is we still teach kids like it's the 40's but you should be constantly building skills in your own time and keeping a toe in the job market. I got laid off on Friday during the finical crisis and walked into a new job that next Monday.
- crestedtazo 10y agoExactly! Thank you! Some people are in a situation where they literally have no choice but to rely on their employer for almost everything in their lives. This can be especially true for people of color because of the endless social injustices they are forced to endure. Thank you for your comment.
