"Then don't work there". Christ, what privilege.

A lot of that going on around here, as per usual

ITT we learn that making intelligent decisions that require sacrifice is somehow "privilege"... but whining about making bad decisions isn't.

The key piece is "require sacrifice."

It is privilege to have something you can sacrifice, and not just be trapped.

...in which case exactly 1% of the population are unprivileged enough to not have family, friends, or choices. This is literally an excuse for people who don't want to even try.

Hello should that number be before we as a society accept it?

1% is staggeringly high. That's one and a half million people. If our system operates on exploiting one and a half million people, we should change that system.
