This embodies a culture of dignity, which I admire, and contrasts with a culture of offense and complaint, which seems prevalent today. In a culture of dignity, you take back power to define your worth, and fight less with others about opinions and actions beyond your control. A culture of dignity ends up being less totalitarian; while a culture of offense ultimately tends toward top-down control to save the victims.

Maybe there's grind, but yeah, I believe there are fundamental scarcities in life that require we do hard things to make a living. I don't have much empathy for people who don't believe that. I do think there are limits to what employers can demand of us, and in Morrison's story, she learned one place to draw the line (take the salary instead of the used clothes).
