> If I didn't have that awful experience at best buy 20 years before, I don't think I would have had the courage to stand up.
Too me this is a key takeaway. Business is shitty in lots of ways. There’s a million ways the fit could be wrong. Our process of couple interviews and job offer doesn’t always allow for proper due diligence as both parties are trying to sell something. The goal for everyone is should be to make sure you have enough cushions in your finances and other parts of your life that you can politely say “fuck off” whenever or whyever you feel like you’re being treated poorly. Just don’t put up with it. It doesn’t mean walking off is the best solution, but sometimes you try to fix with communication and other things and this is your only option. I have an expectation that people treat me professionally in work. If people are being conniving, twofaced, or yelling and screaming it’s time to go. (I tend to experience yelling a lot. I think the stress/deadlines gets to certain people to where they just like to yell.)

I mostly agree, but it is very difficult to get there, and once you're there it's easy to forget how lucky you got along the way. So I would say the goal should be to have enough cushions to stand up for yourself and others, knowing you could afford to leave at any time.
