Had a shit boss and company owner years ago (and they were two different people, just to be clear). I was mid-senior in my field. At last straw of incompetence and greed I looked for a new job. Handed over my resignation two weeks later. Work in IT, live in Europe. Don't take shit.

    In my experience, in Europe also, it really depends on the country, how senior you are and whether what you do inside IT is in high demand or not.

    A junior/mid-level level social media marketing person in, for example, the UK, isn't going to have the same de facto possibility to tell them "screw you" and quit, as a senior systems designer-developer in, say, Germany.

    Mind you, even in the UK, if said junior/mid-level social media marketing person is a permanent employee, he or she will have way, WAY, WAY more legal rights than in the US.

    Would love to emigrate to Europe myself. Familial and social reasons make that difficult. A lack of funds make it unfeasible. So for the foreseeable future I've gotta deal with the crap I've got.
