you are absolutely right, there is always a choice, but some choices are bad and they are at the end of your choice list, so deep that you don't even consider it anymore as an option.
this is exactly what's happening, fear is killing my mind, day by day I am getting worse and doing stupid mistakes. while talking to management my blood pressure going up, because I fear if leadership thinks I am not good, I will be laid off soon
it is, but I haven't noticed it in smaller scale, daily things. You don't bribe school to take your kid, you don't bribe kindergarten and many other places. Every country has different issues, but USA has 1st world issues, compare it to other countries where people are starving. Totally different topic to debate
you are not wrong. Problem is, consequences layoff might bring to our lives. For some people finding a job is taking 3-4 months, financially I can afford myself not having any job for a year, but visa makes it very difficult for us to stay.
