But there is more to this story than you realise.

It may be easy to say and tell others that "not happy just move on". but there could be extenuating circumstances that everybody face. Sometimes, when we quit, it is not by choice. We could have parents whom are in poor health. we might have siblings we need to put through school, some of us are the sole breadwinners of the entire family.

Because of this circumstances, I have become quite paranoid, I became obsessed with saving money and making sure I am full employed as much of the time as possible.

I did not want to quit, I loved my job, I actually want to stay, because I badly needed the salary. But I was forced into circumstances beyond my control.

I am not sure which "real world" you inhabit but in the world I inhabit, I need to fight for every right I can get because that mere few hundred dollars can make a lot of difference.
