after taking a sick day I think I’m gonna quit my job

Little background about this job(fast food); I have two managers in charge of scheduling and a few weeks ago I asked one of them for more hours the following week (was doing 20-28, which was alright but I had the energy for more and I could use the money) and was responded to with a lecture about how I didn't work hard enough to have more hours and my coworkers do more than me, which was bs and all my coworkers knew it. I'm almost 100% sure he doesn't like me because I'm trans, and his transphobia got even more blatant throughout that day, he kept misgendering me and calling my 'better coworkers' “good man” super loud. My supervisor said that was weird of him and he'd talk to the manager and I was like okay cool. While I thought it was stupid I decided to really bust my ass…

I'm almost 100% sure he doesn't like me because I'm trans, and his transphobia got even more blatant throughout that day, he kept misgendering me and calling my 'better coworkers' “good man” super loud. My supervisor said that was weird of him and he'd talk to the manager and I was like okay cool. While I thought it was stupid I decided to really bust my ass anyway, and the entire next week I did not stand still for a second. Well the week after that I got scheduled for 17 hours, and my supervisor asked me if my issue had been fixed and I said no I got even less hours this week. He talked to the manager again and my hours were slowly cut down, and those days the manager kept rushing in front of me when I was about to do something so he could prove to himself that I didn't do shit or something, I ended up getting a second job(restaurant cook) because the past month I've gotten 12-13 hours a week which I'm pretty sure is the exact opposite of that managers schedule because I never see him anymore. Anyway onto now………….
Woke up yesterday with a cold, nothing major but I didn't feel good enough to go into work/lift shit/work with food and sneeze everywhere. (I was scheduled 16 hours this week for job 1 so I guess I was finally being “let off the hook”) I contacted both jobs to say I couldn't make it. My one boss didn't respond, but today sent me next week's work schedule two days early to let me know I've only been scheduled to work 12 hours next week. My boss at my other job just told me he hopes I feel better and he'll see me Saturday. So I think I'm gonna sleep in and when my boss from job 1 contacts me to ask where I am, I'll just respond “I quit” in an email and be done with it. I don't know if I can get more hours at my other job yet but honestly I'm done with this bs for minimum wage because my manager doesn't like me for whatever reason.
Some extra shit: job 1 managers always yell at you not to stand around, micromanage everything, insult you in front of everyone, get pissed off if you take an early break even if it's not busy and you don't take a second one later, pit employees against each other and make sure you work with those people on every shift
