I tendered my resignation. After everything that I had done to protect the guy, he still refused to quit with me, even though that was the plan. In any case, my now former employer is saying they're going to keep my final paycheck. I've called the Department of Labor but haven't been able to get through, so I left a message. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I've called several attorneys but none of them have been keen on helping me. If anyone has advice on that front, I'll take it. I'm owed quite a bit of money, especially since I looked at my employee documents and saw that I'm listed as not overtime exempt and they were not paying me overtime at all. Just thought I'd give a brief update since so many people were kind enough to comment. Thanks, guys.

I live and work in a red state. Let me tell you, it's about as wild as you can imagine. The majority of folks drink, do drugs, and fuck like rabbits, but they're in church on Sunday or adamantly Christian and will absolutely verbally (and sometimes physically) throttle you if you're different in anyway (ie LGBTQ+, atheist or not Christian, from a different background, etc) I spent a lot of time hiding and being quiet but something snapped in me in the last few years and I just can't do that anymore. I don't know if my age has made me cranky and bold or if I finally just broke down and let the lack of fucks I have fester unfettered by criticism. I'm pagan. I'm pro LGBTQ+ and, not that I have to explain myself, I am because Christianity has not been kind to me or anyone, really, and…

So short story, I got a better paying job plus just better in general, I was going to go to casual at my current place, however they want two weeks and I can’t do that with my new schedule with training. I work the next two days and I would absolutely love to on Friday say “ I’m not coming back on Monday”. I’ve never quit a job before but I’m absolutely done with this current place and all the shit that they’ve put me through the last year and a half. So can I email it, do I have to say it in person? Help an anxiety ridden person out, please!
