Instead of always worrying about having a job, maybe we should be pissed that not having a job means homelessness and starvation.

Not having proper safety nets in a society that demonizes homelessness as a moral failing is the real problem.

This.

It can get even worse

If I lose my job, I won't be able to stay here, I'll get deported, I might lose my marriage as well, I'll lose everything in life

And the company owner knows this and oh boy is he having fun with that knowledge. So they scream their lungs out at me, insulting me to my face. What am I going to do about it? Quit? Complain and get fired?

Fuck all this
