I am excited to leave this toxic workplace

So I have never worked at a workplace where politics are brought up. To be completely transparent, I'm a republican, I'm not a die-hard Trumper or care about the religious aspects that stupidly gets grouped with Republicans, I am just conservative fiscally, less taxes, more spending on military etc, I don't care or have an opinion on abortion, I definitely think Gay marriage is fine, etc, i'm on the spectrum of people who just care about the only thing that actually matters, peace and money. Anyways, my boss is a hardcore Democrat and tells me at my first meeting that white people are basically racist assholes, and calls every white person he works with a racist Trumper. To be completely honest, I don't even care about this stuff or the fact that he hates one party or another. He is actively racist himself towards people who are indian, chinese, or…

To be completely honest, I don't even care about this stuff or the fact that he hates one party or another. He is actively racist himself towards people who are indian, chinese, or other cultures that he definitely sees himself as better than, especially white people. He actively acts like most everyone is extremely beneath him and he doesn't respect his workers.

We are supposed to work 8-5 with a 1hr break, but we often times don't get to take the 1hr break, most of my co-workers won't take their break and it's ridiculous because it sets a precedent that we are also expected to not take our lunch break. In addition, every worker besides myself stays until like 5:30-6 most nights. I shouldn't be punished because I leave when I'm not being paid, I get paid the same salary no matter what, and i'm told to mark 40 hours a week. I don't have the option to get more, and yes I know that's not fair to me and no I can't do anything about it. I am getting paid super mid as well.

Well I've been job hunting for sometime now and have finally gotten an offer from a company that is paying me around $10k more a year after all things are said and done. I have gotten burned multiple times in the past for giving my 2 weeks noticed, losing work and being told I am no longer needed. I plan to wipe my computer of my info on Thursday, stay extra late on Friday, and while everyone is gone, leave the company property, take my things, and leave a note saying I resign and no longer wish to work there.

I have never met someone so actively racist and rude, he has told me many times that I am terrible at communication, in our reviews he tells me I am awful and need improvement on literally everything. I am super professional and have never fought back, I am the first to take blame for things going wrong, and I strive to try to make as little mistakes as possible, he tends to base his review on how he's feeling that day, and our coworker Jen has literally cried from his feedback at times.

I just feel crazy because these people are literally kissing his family's ass day in and day out and they don't understand that they mean nothing to the company. I'm not even ranting, I'm just happy i'm finally going to be free. I just feel bad for the people who stick with this company as they don't understand. Jen who I mentioned who has cried before also works on weekends, many more hours than me, and what's crazy is I print her paycheck, I see what they give her, she gets paid less than me and works many many more hours, just super sad.

PS: I am the accountant so I print the Paychecks and Bonuses:

Here's the bonus distribution:

Employee 1: $15k

Employee 2: $500

Employee 3: $600

Me: $400

Jen:(who works so many more hours and has been here longer) $200

Employee 4: $150(he's also grossly underpaid because he's an immigrant)
