"I got overloaded with work and not listened to when I had issues. I eventually got fired. So for me at least, trying to sacrifice my dignity for money just straight up failed.
This is what I feel like people miss. Your dignity is valuable you have dignity as a person, you don't let people disrespect you. And the more you allow that behavior the more you're inviting it in. And you will get more of it.
For people who think it's normal I would have to ask, well where do you draw the line then? If they ask you to get on your knees and kiss their shoes in front of everybody is that okay? They're not putting hands on you or getting physical they're just requesting this of you are you going to accept that? That's humiliating.
Just because somebody owns a company and is your boss gives them absolutely no right to treat you like fucking dirt.
And the more people realize that, and show people that they are not to be disrespected, the better their life will be and the better relationships they will form and have in their lives.
Thank you so much for what you wrote and I'm glad you're in a better place. You really touched on a lot of important points and I feel like people really need to see this.
