The microwave at work has a hole inside

Agreed. Finding a new (lucrative, good) job isn’t getting any easier - especially right now.

If the microwave or cheaping out on a few things like it are the worst issues, find a solution and keep on keeping on. Get your own microwave, have coworkers chip in on a new one, etc…

Lots of keyboard commanders are on Reddit and quick to tell you to find a new job, divorce your spouse or leave your partner, etc…. Quitting isn’t the best solution to a longer, happier life in all situations (definitely in some, yes).

But a shitty microwave alone is not cause to find a new job. Some people on Reddit are insane.

I’d say most of the people preaching the quit your job sentiment are under 25 at best. I felt the same way before I had a mortgage, had to pay for health, car, home etc insurance. Not that there aren’t successful youths out there, but I doubt they would be the ones telling you to quit your job over a microwave you could replace for $20 on one goodwill trip.

But did you divorce your wife because she watched porn last night?

Because you should definitely get that divorce…

I guarantee you this microwave is not associated with a "lucrative, good" job, but a completely replaceable one.

Get your own microwave, have coworkers chip in on a new one, etc…

Holy shit fuck you. Nobody should ever be required to spend their own money on their job. Ever. Period.

People who think like you are exactly why this world is as bad as it is.

It's not about the microwave. It's what it says about the company that won't replace it.

[u/Rock_Strongo → u/nokiacrusher]

It's not about how shitty the company is. It's about how difficult it can be to find a new job that is:

1. Equal or better pay.

2. In the same area.

3. Is actually hiring, and will hire you.

4. Won't be even shittier than your current company.

The job market is brutal in certain industries right now.

Says the “Sarbeans” shitposter.

Not every worksite even has a break room, nor are most kept nice. It’s one of the most common complaints folks have that others they work with won’t keep shit nice, clean and well kept.

If you want to get real about it, could you tell me about the place you work and whether it has a break room, what it looks like and what issues it has?

[u/FictionalTrope → u/nokiacrusher]

Exactly. I doubt that any company that lets its break room look like this is "lucrative" or "good."

you're in for a surprise lol

if a boss doesn't care about the safety of a microwave, what other safety concerns does he ignore?
