Indeed. John Goodman does a great explanation in the Gambler. (Search “the position of f you”. R-rated language.)
I don’t have “screw you” money, but I have (the slightly lesser) “I don’t have to take your crap” money. Makes work life a lot less stressful.
IanB:
I just came across a Benny Hill gag from many decades ago. It seems amusingly relevant:
A woman has to do a job twice as well as a man to be thought half as good.
Fortunately this is not difficult.

For those who want a baseline on how much "screw you money" you need, I'd say around 6 months of frugal living expenses in liquid assets. That gives you enough buffer to quit your day job on the spot and have plenty of time to find a better job, not just "another job".

Said from the stand point of "living in a reasonable large city where there is a reasonable large job market to hunt on". Btw in many European countries you cant ,"by law" quit on the spot, nor can you get fired on the spot.

1 months savings for every $10k salary or close equivalent has always been my rule.
The worst thing is having to accept an inadequate offer because your finances dictate it.
