Antiwork

Why did you quit? I’ve quit my last two jobs because of incompetent leadership and have no regrets.

I took up that person's role, learned the gig, and had a valid, tech response. My boss called me after and dressed me down, womansplaining how an iphone works in Teams. The next day, I was in Zoom with cross-functional teams and my CEO was in the call as, well, he was just being a dick. I told him to fuck himself in a private text and we were going to separate. This company owes me close to $10k in expenses as I had to be at trade shows, have custom embroidered clothing, etc. I'm going to 1099 this company for the expenses.
