Yeah. That’s what I was thinking. If I don’t like my job, I work while I find one that I would or could like. And I do this until I find the one I wish to stay with.
There is not a lot of logic here. It’s a carryover from the reddit sub. Unflinching rigidity and cringy as hell.
This is such a narrow world view that it becomes really hilarious when you try to say other people aren’t using logic.
What if someone got fired just because of a horrible boss?
What if someone quit because of shitty working conditions?
What if someone had to go on medical leave for an extended period of time?
What if someones house burned down and they have to move away from their job?
What if a work place becomes hostile?
What if the business just closes?
I had literally interviewed twice before I was laid off.
I believe if you consistently aim for a slightly higher position at other businesses, and aggressively grow your skillet, you can absolutely climb up salary levels.
I never said I did. I’m lucky. I have a good job that pays well, at a decent company with a decent boss. I really like my job too! Lots of people aren’t that lucky though.
I did this while at my poorest. It’s literally how I climbed out. My ratchet-ass cousin just did this last month, and she is perpetually trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. My ex-teacher friend is currently doing it too. Anyone at any income level can just keep an eye out for opportunity.
You work one job while looking for better opportunities elsewhere, then quit and go elsewhere, rinse and repeat. Fastest way to increase your earnings, period, and way better in terms of QOL.
I hadn’t considered that your experience is the only valid one and nobody can have a different one than yours. Such a convincing argument you have there.

This could be a literally endless list.
I’ve done (or had done to me) the first two and last two multiple times and his advice still holds. Not sure what you’re aiming at.
How do you have a job lined up in those situations?
You’re just lying.
I’m not lying. It’s how I went from making 36k to just over 100k in 6 years.
A job you had unexpectedly closed and you already had a job lined up?
You’re lying.
In 2018 was laid off at one job and hired at the next the same day
Both jobs were leadership roles making over median US income
My most recent layoff, this year, I had a new job about 3 weeks before severence ran out.
Neither of those were times where you had a job lined up before you left a company.
And do you honestly think those situations are normal? You can’t honestly believe that, right?

Yeah. That’s called “working.” That’s life. Get used to it.
It’s literally not. We’re talking about losing your job and NOT working.
I don’t even know how you could be so wrong.
No, we’re talking about looking for a better job while you already have one. Stop changing the topic.
Lmfao. K.
That’s what I thought. Walk away.
Lmfao.
This is why people think this sub/community is a huge joke.
You have no time to find a new job when you’re already juggling two just to make ends meet. Let alone interview for it.
That’s utter bullshit, but I’m not going to argue it given what community this is. It would be pointless.
I don’t believe you work two jobs and have no time if you have the time to set up and play on private Valheim servers.
I never said I did. I’m lucky. I have a good job that pays well, at a decent company with a decent boss. I really like my job too! Lots of people aren’t that lucky though.
Tell me you are upper middle class without telling me you are upper middle class.

It’s not an argument, but an anecdote. I assure you that anything I can do, another person can do.
What I don’t understand is why you seem vested in being hopeless about your own future.
Not even close.
