Yeah, my current wage is about 65% of my former salary, and yet I earn more per year than I used to, and work fewer total hours.I remember when my Dad told me when I was young, "Son, salary is when they fucking start owning you".
Still, no matter how bad the job market, I couldn't stay in a role that I knew was actively harmful to society.
I would rather sleep in a cardboard box under an overpass, than be complicit in the evil that is Fox News.
I mean, if you were a prison guard, and one day the governor told you that the jail was being turned over to the housing of political prisoners instead of criminals, you would quit, right? And if not then, surely you would quit when they installed the crematorium, right? You wouldn't say "Well, I do have a mortgage and a bunch of bills to pay...".
