You don't deserve a job, nor is anyone holding a gun to your head. You chose to have kids and a mortgage.

I currently work at a giant corp and I see this mentality everywhere and I see nepotism in action because of it. I need to find a new job. What I don't have to do is hang around.

(Assuming these people knew what they were getting into)

So what? It sounds like you are using this argument to excuse companies whose practices are causing workplace injury.

Doesn't excuse anything. Sidetracked the conversation I apologize

"Soto claims he was assigned to the team and didn’t have any choice in the matter"

"they were forced to remain there for 18 months before they could request a transfer"

>You chose to have kids and a mortgage.

So did your parents. Would you wish this upon them?

Having a child when you don't already have the capacity to adequately support both them AND yourselves (financially and emotionally) is one of the most selfish things you can do.

Although I don't entirely disagree with your point, but try telling that to someone who hasn't had proper sex-education. Or is told that now they are married they have to have children right away.

See my other comment about my parents. They sacrificed money and I don't talk to them. And yes I do.

I had a shitty childhood though.

Edit - also my parents never had a home and a mortgage...
