    People are just trying to make the best of this situation we have to experience called life. I used to work for smaller companies and they have pros and cons just like large companies. Then I was laid off and the only place that would hire me and not give me a pay cut was a large corporation. So here I am now. Let me be clear, I do not want to work for this company. But what they provide me for the time being, is stability where other companies are laying people off left and right. They hired me as a remote employee and then a few months later said everyone had to return to the office a few times a week. I don’t trust this company and I never did, but until the economy stabilizes and I can find another solid job, I’m stuck. I can’t just not work, and I refuse to go back to being poor and struggling to stay afloat. So I feel for these people. You don’t always have a reasonable choice in employment when things aren’t stable but you also have to think about supporting yourself or maybe kids.

    TLDR: It’s not always so cut and dry of a situation as “don’t work for a shitty company”. All I’m trying to say, is that you should really step back and try to think about these situations from others’ perspectives sometimes.
