So no one has the social skills to answer the phone and politely say “no”?

I’m sure people will post saying something about abusive management. So quit the damned job if it’s like that. Last two times I quit it was over mere annoyances, got much better paying jobs each time.

“I’ve been lucky and/or privileged, why aren’t you?” will forever be the weirdest flex to me

Yeah because the economy is totally great right now and finding work that pays the bills is super easy!

— things said by people who are out of touch

Even when the economy was good, it took months to find new employment if you have to have any sort of standard (like minimum income above the minimum wage threshold). Most people right now can’t afford to be out of work for months.

Maybe your area was good, maybe your skill set is in demand, maybe you have zero standards or requirements to support your family, whatever it is, your experience is not at all the standard, and it’s much more likely you just have survivor bias. That’s when you say “it was easy for me, it should be easy for everyone!” While everyone else is struggling.

Because I’m not obliged to answer in the first place

In the same post you’re both telling people to politely answer the phone on their days off and to quit the job over minor annoyances. So which is it? Gaslighting bullshit
