>It is not theft: it is at-will employment and nobody is being forced to take it.

That's a strange view of how the world works. But of course if one has never been forced to take a shitty job because they just have no options, one can hold such a view more easily.

I've had plenty of shitty jobs in my day, it was always a choice for me to take them and I was always glad to have them. I used to pull twelve hour shifts on a production line. Did that job for three weeks to save up to move across the country.

You always have options. You can always make a plan. If the plan fails, you learn from it and make a better one. But I tell you what, I'd rather have a shit job as an option rather than no job as an option.

That's always the case with any kind of blackmail.

I don't think it's very charitable to imply that the parent only holds their opinion due to their assumed economic status.
