Anyone else find the prospect of switching to a better job scary? (lemmy.ml)

I think it's that if the switching fails, I'll be left without any job and risk homelessness. And that the general narrative I hear is that "we should be grateful to have a job at all".

Sounds pretty crazy. I've been super lucky to have some financial support from others while working part time and going to school. My workplace is unionised and after experiencing that I would never want to switch to a job that didn't provide some employee protection of some kind. A better job to me is one that has the same level of protection and stability but with even more pay.
