If you’re really only able to work for one particular, shitty company. You might want to invest in yourself. Learn a trade or read a self help book.

Yeah, and die of starvation or exposer, which ever comes first..
Maybe instead of giving out of touch advice, take a look around at the reality most people face first..

Right, that’s the violence inherent in the system. I wasn’t giving advice, I’m saying that’s the only leverage you have. You’re selling the minutes and hours of your life, little chunks of being alive, and you’re selling it for less than it’s worth. You have to, because nobody would buy it if they weren’t profiting from you. It’s good for them if you believe you have no choice, especially when you do.
My advice is always be applying for jobs. Or go into business for yourself, if you can manage it.

If your choices are between working one specific job or starving then you owe it to yourself and your family to improve your marketable skills or value
