      I understand what your saying, but everyone can move jobs. What would you do if you were fired, laid off, or the company goes belly up? Or! If the price of expenses rises above your income? As an employee, we will always be slaves to the business. On top of keeping your finances in order, its important you are always ready or getting ready for that safety of your paycheck to go away. I have moved across the country 4 times as for better opportunities and savings. I just moved from California to Texas. I have a great job that is remote and I saw the writing on the wall for price hikes in California not only with the $7 gas at the time but the run away home and rent prices. I took my high paying job, my wife, and packed up the car shipped my items and drove down to Texas. It cost over $10K but the savings are unreal. Even with a high salary I prefer to live like i make $50K. It takes the fear of job loss or hating my Job out of the equation.
      You may not have liked the way he said it, but he is right. You have 100% control over what you do, where you work, and how long you want to stay in unpleasant circumstances. These employers have already said they dont care. So in return we have to set ourself up for success by not being slave to everything they want from us. That includes getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Maybe its not as extreme as moving across country, but it could involve: tightening the budget, getting an extra job to pay debt so you can go somewhere else, it might mean moving away from family or friends, etc. But most Americans aren’t ready to take a hard look in the mirror for their own contributions to their own mess. The slave master will continue to offer you pennies and tell you how secure you are and how hard it is to do anything else. Just food for thought.

So, what I actually did for years is out because I won't get it. So, I'm forced to do something that is literally just a job to pay the bills and the sad thing is, I actually make more now than I did taking care of the elderly or addicted at health care or state run facilities. Where do I work? Walmart.... I sht you not. I get better benefits and pay filling the online orders for people than I did working at a state run locked facility detox or doing homecare for elderly. It's kind of sad, to be honest.

    The last "job" I had, before I started my own company, expected me to be a 1 man tech department. I was a salaried employee and worked about 75 hours per week. After a couple years of that, I got burnt out and when I told my boss that I needed a vacation and a raise, I got fired. I saw a job post from the company, about a week later, and they were looking to hire my replacement, offering $20k more and time off. LoL

      That really sucks. But I'm trying to decide if it's worse than this all-too-common scenario: they refuse to give you a raise, but they hire a kid who just graduated to help you out. This becomes an additional burden on you because you have to devote significant time to training him, but you do it because eventually it will mean you can split the work with him. Then you find out a couple months later that the new kid's salary is $20K higher than yours.
      This is a basically situation that has happened to me. The new kid wasn't making 20K more than me, but his salary was slightly higher than mine, and I'd been working there over 8 years. And I was expected to be his *manager* .

    Funny thing about the "quiet quitting" is when my annual review (yeah, I'm one of the lucky people who actually gets one) gives me ratings of "meeting expectations" and I'm told that no one really gets "exceeding expectations". This is shadowed by being told that I was handed a shit show when I joined the company and was essentially set up to fail (yes, my boss admitted this to the whole group). So... by being handed a shit show and being set up to fail, yet I have done quite well with adapting to the job and handling nearly double the workload of the "veterans", I still am only meeting the expectations. :D I wonder why employee turnover here has been so high. "Resenteesism" is my mantra here.

    one thing that always amazes me about places of employment is they always seem to act like the employee should just be totally thrilled to work there no matter what.
    Doesn't matter if it's a job in an office or a job shoveling shit, the company will always think the person doing it should love it to the point they dedicate their whole life to it.
    They also seem to think it a bad thing that employees want to get paid. I've noticed this one on job interviews where if you ask about the salary they're less likely to hire you or if they ask why you want the job you can't give the honest answer, your just suppose to want to do if for the love of doing it and not to make a living.

I started studying Organizational Psychology a few years ago and then I got really grossed out. Employment is basically the same as slavery. Even the workers themselves buy into the idea that they have to give every part of themselves over to the employer, and reveal every thought you have to them. I've been asked on more than one occasion what I was doing in the bathroom and why I took so long. Of course I went into the most graphic and disgusting description possible to make them regret asking me. I'm planning on starting my own business now. Society in the US is just too far gone on the side of employers.

    Worked there for 18 months, in which the following occurred:
    - _2 senior dev's getting a burnout, being home for 6 months and finding another job_
    - _1 senior dev having a mental breakdown, throwing his laptop into the HR office, screaming I QUIT_
    - _1 medior dev being fired, for having a mental breakdown and insulting an incompetent middle management idiot_
    - _5 Service technicians / IT support people being fired, for being to expensive_
    - _Hiring 5 more middle managers, to somehow be more productive by having endless meetings_
    - _Hiring an IT manager, who didn't know anything about IT or coding and just outsourced everything_
    When I quit, the HR rep replied: _"We where expecting that, we don't think your personality fits in our company culture"._
    This whole experience, was for me as a junior dev, complete mental abuse! Took me more than a year to get over it...

    "work your passion" sounds a lot like "find your dream job" A freelancer who quit her NY job and moved to Florida said she has no dream job, because "who dreams about labor?" and I agree. Find what you can tolerate that will pay you the most with the least effort. Treat your career like a business, treat every employment contract that way. Are you being fairly compensated? Can you make more elsewhere without increasing workload? This is the modern approach. Working till mid 70s (65 is a pipe dream these days) means you really don't have the luxury of overworking for low compensation. You set yourself back decades doing that and will be forced to make up ground later in life. Millennials and Gen z are way behind in wealth building, there's literally no time to waste.

    Likely to occur in almost every instance of prolonged presenteeism, especially when financial rewards are not commensurate with the required productivity demands.
