No one is suggesting that you are physically trapped in the job with shackles, but to insinuate everyone is in a position where they can just 'walk away' from their job is disingenuous at best, downright ignorant of the world at worst.
It's about the same level as 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps'.
- WalterBright 5y agoWell, people I've employed walked away whenever they felt like it. > ignorant of the world I only speak of the US. Before the pandemic upended things, unemployment rates were very, very low in the US. That doesn't auger for employees being beholden to employers at all.
- breakfastduck 5y agoYou clearly speak for a very select set of people. Which is fine, but stop projecting that onto the vast majority who absolutely cannot walk away from work 'whenever they feel like it' if they've any sort of family or responsibilities. You're talking about the US and people not being beholden to employers - I'm sorry, but that is absolute nonsense for basically the entire working class.
