Antiwork

I got fired today for refusing to do someone else’s work.

I worked at a gas station that has a full kitchen. It's very popular in the midwest for pizza and such. Last Friday I worked the first half of my shift in the kitchen.

Eventually I did the dishes just so I could be left alone to do what I needed to do. I worked Saturday and Sunday and everything seemed fine. I was then off Monday and Tuesday. I walked in today and was told I was being let go due to insubordination. Despite the fact that it wasn't my responsibility and I ended up doing it anyway.

I was pissed at first but I'm not really that upset by it anymore. I was tired of being yelled at so I needed to leave since it was starting to effect my mental health. I just hate change so I was hesitant to leave. But I already have an interview for Friday and have my application in at several other places that pay more.
