We can all make valid points here and there, at the end of the day there's gotta be food on the table.

It does rather underpin the value of strong social safety nets, doesn't it? When the only way to survive is to keep your job, it's not essentially different than forced labor.

[–] kamenlady 3 points 9 months ago

I agree. At the moment i am keeping my job, but would rather take a small timeout, like 3 months. Just relax and take my time to think things over. The pandemic took everything i had set aside and the inflation has me spending my whole salary for the month. I could only quit this job if i already have another starting the next day, there's no way to spend even a week without income.

So, yeah atm it feels like forced labor.
