Working for someone these days is just slavery (in most cases). People say don't work for jerks, but the entire System is build for jerks to flourish and control others, so the chance of finding a good situation is small and is getting smaller by the day.
Secondly, in a country like America references from your past employer are always checked (checked for 5 years back, usually) - there're big firms that do this verification now - so good luck with splitting with the jerk, they have the full power ruining future employment chances for you. Oh and you walk out on the jerk, you lose your health insurance (unless you love $700/month COBRA rip off)...people on the dole never lose it.
I worked in various capacities including 3-figure Silicon Valley software engineering jobs and low-paying menial jobs...even in high-paying job it felt like abusive slavery and being held by the balls by the lowest scum of earth - even though I worked remotely, they find ways to get to you - I was nearly driven to offing myself by such employer.
And now US lawyers say employers can demand employees to get covid-1984 vaccine, it all is just going downhill. I'm completely blackpilled about the prospects. Think better either on the dole or grabbing what you can and exiting to a low cost of living country. With more jobs going permanently remote, the competition from low-cost countries will be even stronger anyway.
