That makes the calculation a lot more difficult, and causes all kinds of stress. Of course, any job that would force you to go when you don't feel fully safe is a shitty job. But, a lot of people don't feel like they have the option to leave a shitty job. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
