It's the equivalent to telling someone suffering from relationship abuse "Just get a new spouse!"
What's wrong with telling the abused to exit their current situation as quickly as possible?

Let's assume you're a programmer. Ever get annoyed when someone comes along while you're dealing with a problem and goes, "Why don't you just..." without any acknowledgement of the many complexities? And that if you could "just" do this or that, you fucking would have already?
Yeah, it's like that.
Ah, "it's not always that simple". Fair enough, thanks.
(And two down votes already for asking an honest question? Stay classy, HN.)
1. They're not currently employed which means they would enter into poverty with no exit strategy for that.
2. They have children which means without relatives on both sides of the relationship willing to help with the transition to separation (and possibly divorce if they're married) it's going to be hard to do this. It also means going into poverty in some cases whether or not the person has a job since caring for the material needs of children is an added burden. And if the spouse was also abusing them that means leaving them in their care isn't an option either.
Simply put, it's not easy when it comes to leaving one bad situation. Whether it's an abusive employer or an abusive spouse.
It's VERY WRONG to attempt to end one's life in order to exit the toxic work/relationship/marriage, like the unnamed Amazon employee did.
