right, but still, most jobs are going to be shitty, so just throwing yourself back out there on the "job market" (a euphemism for putting your labor power up on the auction block) is a huge risk because your bills are gonna rack up, your savings are gonna run out, your unemployment will run out assuming you can even get it, and then you're stuck right back at square zero looking for someone who will buy your labor power for less than it is worth. Me personally, I'd rather stick with a shitty job until I find another slightly less then shitty job than quit, because if I quit too early my situation is gonna deteriorate and the likelihood of me getting lucky enough to find something better is low.
Definitely. From experience though, there's two types of jobs that organize:
--Jobs with high concentrations of socialists like social work, non-profit, politics
And
--unspeakably terrible jobs, like, abusive bosses, random insufficient hours, that kind of thing.
The first type of job is rare, and the second kind makes people quit. If everyone organized, everyone would win, but the reality is that the kind of conditions that make people organize also make people quit.
