I think it’s that if the switching fails, I’ll be left without any job and risk homelessness. And that the general narrative I hear is that “we should be grateful to have a job at all”.

  • Sounds pretty crazy. I’ve been super lucky to have some financial support from others while working part time and going to school. My workplace is unionised and after experiencing that I would never want to switch to a job that didn’t provide some employee protection of some kind. A better job to me is one that has the same level of protection and stability but with even more pay.
