if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you?

  He works hard for the money.

  So hard for the money.

  He works hard for the money, so you better fire the subordinate employee

  It seems that everyone already answered, but I will give my perspective as well.

  It’s definitely very different for each person. Some people need the money more or less. Some people suffer more in their job or less. Some people have more options or less.

  I like to imagine a scale where on one side you have the reasons to leave and on another side you have the reasons to stay. And reasons to leave are multiplied by how many options you have outside.

  So if your job is terrible and you’re pretty financially stable and you have a lot of options for finding other jobs then the scale would lean towards leaving. Or if your job is pretty terrible, but you’re not financially stable and you don’t have a lot of options, then the scale would be pretty equal and you’ll have to take a risk.

  Living in your car and on couches sucks. But once you hit the wall, nothing matters more then getting the fuck out of there and never going back.

  I save every penny I can in case I have to switch jobs. Or i work day by day, month by month, year after year and lose a bit of myself every shift i work until there is nothing left and i lose my shit and quit. Or need a mental health break from this fucked up world i live in.

  Honestly I wonder why anyone would spend money they didn’t need to unless they had the remainder of your lives living expenses already saved up. You’re spending future rent payments, future food! Why would you spend your rent payment 10 months in the future when you could just not go to that concert? That’s not even your money you’re spending, it’s your landlords. Its the grocery stores money. Its the car repair shops money. Its the gas stations money. Its the power companies money.

  You just don’t know it yet. Or maybe deep down you do know it, and you pretend otherwise to delude yourself that you live in a free country. Doesn’t seem free to me.

  Rent is due in 4 days by the way.

  I’m more afraid of needing the money than not having the money.
