I might regret it but I just couldn’t take it anymore. I rather use up my savings if I have to while I find another job. There’s gotta be something better than this fucked up system

So I have this manager who is just an utter cow right. She has an issue with me wearing a jacket at work (it's cold and allows me to have my phone on me for killing time when there legit no work to be done in that moment) no other manager seems to have a problem with this. I'm honestly wondering what I should do? She's technically not doing anything wrong I think so idk if I could report her, my idea is to make something up and have my shifts change so I hopefully don't have shifts with her anymore but her hours could always change then I'm screwed. Honestly I really just want some advice, life is feeling pretty hard rn and I'm struggling to find meaning or self worth. I'm sorry to post my personal shit, I hope your all doing ok too.

Last week I took a home Covid test and it came up positive. The company I am currently employed at offers 0 sick days. Bills are a reality therefor I felt I still had to go to work though I felt miserable and was concerned about the possibility of infecting my coworkers. I did my best to avoid anyone while there. The environment being rather open and large, making it not so difficult. Further context for the company: • the last individual to put in his two weeks notice got fired on the spot. • vacation days(if you have them) cannot be used concurrently because “we need you” • they change the time on tickets/estimates for the employee to screw you out of commission while charging the customer for more labor hrs, though you never see those hrs. • you are suppose to get vacation after 1yr. 5 days. But…

I am in VA which is an “at-will” state, and my company is trying to force me to provide a reason why I am leaving. I have provided the company with my resignation letter and did take a look at the pre-allocated reasons. None of them match while I'm leaving. I brought this up to my career manager and she stated to just provide one that is the closes. What should I do?

I feel so jealous of homemakers! I know they are a laughing stock in American culture but I wish I can be one ! I come from a conservative background (Pakistani American). And unfortunately I am the first generation of woman who has to work. My mom never had a professional job, my grandma, great grandma, aunts, etc. uhhh I feel so jealous of them. I hate being a corporate slave. Even though my religion says that men must provide for their wives (or else they will go to hell and have to face an intense punishment), sadly, lots of men demand ambitious wives these days.

So Monday I left my job in healthcare (not a nurse) in the middle of the shift. I had been there around 5 months and it was very stressful and there was no path to make it less stressful by management. I don’t even know what made me just walk off. In over 30 years of working I have never done that.
