I was on my 4th job before I discovered people usually find a job to move to before they quit. I can only imagine the psychic damage done to people who hate their jobs, feel sick when they think about going in to work the next day, spending hour after hour in situations that just make them miserable, but can't get out. Can't afford to just quit. In my mind, it would feel like serving time. Feel like a prison sentence with no release date. I recognise my good fortune in life in being able to just quit; even just knowing I always have that option makes everything bad in the life of employment more bearable.

> like a prison sentence with no release date I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would rather be homeless than trapped in a job that's making me miserable with no end in sight. It's dehumanizing. Of course, many people don't have that choice (I may not either if serious medical issues come up)-- there is no doubt in my mind this causes terrible suffering and contributes to many suicides.
