It does rather underpin the value of strong social safety nets, doesn't it? When the only way to survive is to keep your job, it's not essentially different than forced labor.
I agree. At the moment i am keeping my job, but would rather take a small timeout, like 3 months. Just relax and take my time to think things over. The pandemic took everything i had set aside and the inflation has me spending my whole salary for the month. I could only quit this job if i already have another starting the next day, there's no way to spend even a week without income.
So, yeah atm it feels like forced labor.
