I understand that not everyone is fortunate to have money saved to be able to have the leeway to leave jobs whenever they feel like it and so forth. But I just feel like people have lost their sense of self-respect when it comes down to employment.

I am a firm believer that if you are working at a toxic place and are being harassed or bullied, to stand up to that behavior and tell them that you're not going to take their shit, and if they continue you fucking quit and never look back.

I have known people who have not had a savings who have done this in the past and they end up finding a decent job that doesn't treat them like shit. Do you feel like job Seekers don't defend themselves anymore?

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.
