I uh… I quit my job today.

And honestly I have no idea what I'm going to do next. But they treated me so badly there that I used to ride the train home and wish it would erupt into flames somehow. I'm broke, I have very little savings, but they treated me like garbage. When I told my boss (as I was quitting) that the only thing I'd asked for is to be talked to like a person, and not a dog that shit on the rug, he said “oh yeah? Good luck finding that!

My Mental health is worth more than 15$ an hour

As the title says, I only get paid $15 an hour to be berated on the phone and forced to work overtime in fear of being penalized. I work past my availability, and when asked why, my boss said the company needs people to work overtime and weekends, and if I don't like it, I should trade with a coworker.

I was sent back from work for wearing shorts

Its hot here and i wore shorts today at my daycare job. I was told by the owner to go home and change as shorts are not acceptable. She told this in front of everyone with a look as if i am a slut. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed. Is there anything I can do if she decides to not pay me for the lost hour. This is in Washington state and i was not told any dress code for this job.
