Just put in my two weeks

I've worked at Amazon for 2.5 years making deliveries. In that time, they've added cameras with artificial intelligence, demanded we wear all Amazon branded gear or we could be fired, jack my schedule around from 5 days to 3 on a whim, put us in the shadiest parts of town where I get chased by dogs and people try to rob me, my PTO accrues less now than it used to, etc. The way they treat us has gone downhill QUICK.

I told my boss that all the declining working conditions and the way they've been treating us has been hard to put up with, but this is something I just refuse to do. Feels good (and scary) to finally quit. I can get a job with FedEx next week, I'm sure. I'm working on better things anyway.

Edit: He just said don't bother coming back. He won't even give me two weeks. Fuck them.
