Yes. Not being able to put up with shit is more so an act of immaturity even if it's straight up unfair and justified. It's the nature of life, and your sense of self respect is just another word for fragile ego. You need to be able to take really hard ego hits, and it's not going to be fair. You're never going to climb a job ladder otherwise and will end up constantly quitting jobs because your feelings get hurt. This is different from a toxic workplace where they also restrain your growth, then you should gtfo because that's the point of you being there. If you don't put up shit, there's tons of people in line who will take your spot that will. That's the nature of life, and no matter what position you are in you'll always have to deal with it.
This is an appalling take. No, you should not allow an employer to treat you with disrespect. Normalising an abusive, exploitative model of employment where you have no choice but to "put up with shit" makes conditions worse for everyone.
I think there’s a middle ground here. You should be able to put up with shit occasionally. Sometimes tensions will be high for one reason or another and things might get snippy, no reason to quit over that. But if you’re having to do it every day because your boss is just an asshole, then yeah you should be looking for a new job.
