Did I make the right decision when I quit my job?

So at the beginning of this year I started working at this bakery that sells cinnamon rolls and other baked goods. Around summer time the owners decided they wanted to retire and handed the business over to someone else. It was a small business with only 5 workers but the previous owners always came in and helped out, so I was skeptical about his new guy when it came to helping out around the store. Well my skepticism was correct, not even a month goes by before things start going downhill. Tells me to call him when I need help but doesn’t actually come to help when it’s needed. Only schedules 2 people, including myself, on weekends when it’s our busiest days during the week. Didn’t stock things correctly so we had shortages of things.

So at the beginning of this year I started working at this bakery that sells cinnamon rolls and other baked goods. Around summer time the owners decided they wanted to retire and handed the business over to someone else. It was a small business with only 5 workers but the previous owners always came in and helped out, so I was skeptical about his new guy when it came to helping out around the store. Well my skepticism was correct, not even a month goes by before things start going downhill. Tells me to call him when I need help but doesn’t actually come to help when it’s needed. Only schedules 2 people, including myself, on weekends when it’s our busiest days during the week. Didn’t stock things correctly so we had shortages of things. Left minors in the store by themselves during closing. Just a bunch of problems and more right from the start, and what broke me was when I called him about someone not doing their job, and had complained multiple times previous, he turns it around on me and says, “I have things on you, “I’ve been watching all of you on the camera. I’ve went through and documented everything you’ve said about me and everything you’ve done wrong. I’ve had friends come in and send me videos of everyone. This will all be brought up at the next meeting.” I cried that night, I’ve never felt such a major invasion of privacy before it shocked me. I finished working out my scheduled week and turned in my notice the following Sunday. Boyfriend said I should report him to HR but I feel like it’s not that big of an issue compared to others.
