To answer your question: The comment comes across as criticism, in a way similar to saying: “Sophie Scholl new the Nazis were killers. If she’s been executed, it’s her own fault for being part of the resistance.” (a deliberately exaggerated comparison)
It’s accepting evil power, instead of fighting back or at least supporting those who try to push back.
I’m confused. Were you happy because the job sucked or because you were laid off before Covid?
