“The advice often feels like those offering the advice are looking at workplaces from an academic and ideal viewpoint rather than having actual experience that allows them to connect to the situation. There is not a grasp of dysfunctional workplaces and the type of people who work there. The viewpoint is skewed towards higher ups and management.
This ideal academic world does not take into account that higher-ups and management may have negative motivations, biases, not be operating in a legal and moral framework, and racist and sexist attitudes. Due to this, there is a belief that finding a job is a much easier prospect. Also, that the person asking the question has more culpability and power over their situation.
I was also astounded by their advice to people with health problems. It was detached from the logic that even people who are sick or need accommodations for another reason need to have a job for money and health insurance.”
