I am livid and am taking to this sub to vent. I worked in low-level operations for this mega charter school network for 9 months in 2021 before I hit my breaking point working 70 hour weeks for a soulless, incompetent boss who lacked proper training to run a school. I was crying in closets, forced to work on weekends (outside of contracted hours), etc. Leaving was the right decision and now I have a much better job that I actually enjoy. Anyway, when I got my W-2s from this ex-employer this year, I noticed my wages were underreported and I reached out to their HR team. Turns out they misreported my earnings by $15k and issued me a new W-2C. I had an accountant look it over and he pointed out that there was nothing reported for local tax withholdings.

With WFH in place, obviously I can work wherever I want, but only if my supervisor is also working that day. Now with the push to go back, I’ll have to go back into the office too. The problem is that I don’t live around the area anymore, so I’ll more than likely be forced to quit. This job wasn’t meant to be permanent anyway, more for recent college graduates. I’ll be going to grad school in the fall, but this means I’ll lose the income and health insurance I need for medication in the mean…
