    Ironically, it takes a lot of courage to quit your job if you don’t have something else lined up. And if you do have a better job to go to, well, that’s on your old employer.

    We millennials took a whole lot of beating so the next gen could be ignored by the beaters. Which is showing.

    The only difference between “Nobody knows how to tough things out anymore” and “Nobody’s gonna put up with your bullshit anymore” is how much of an asshole you are.

    Bootlicking appeared to work for boomers, who enjoyed the benefits of many social safety nets and forms of government central planning and cost controls, all if which were getting dismantled just behind them.

    Or, at least, this seemed to work for the cishet white ones.

      Unfortunately, some minority communities have had to adopt boot licking as a basic survival mechanism.

      I’m a highly skilled employee with soft skills and I reward employers who provide me the freedom I need to get the job done while also retaining other valuable employees.

      If an employer repeatedly expects me to “tough it out” that’s when I start looking for new employment and stop putting in the extra work to make others want to work there.

    How odd, I thought the ideal person under capitalism was an independent agent in the free market who placed personal profit over all, and yet when workers do it it’s suddenly wrong. Curious.
