Just quit a toxic office job

I’ve never experienced such hostile work environment from a company and I’m baffled this place even still exists. For starters they hired me with a $2500 bonus, then felt I was too new to the industry and decided to take it away. There was a hefty load of disrespect and patronizing going around before I finally decided to leave but, what really did me in was what happened this past Friday. I got bitched out and reprimanded to a supervisor for taking my own lunch box out of a trash can, lol.

I came into the lunch room at 2:02 pm, hoped my (reusable) lunch box was still in the fridge, and didn’t see it there. I asked the woman cleaning the fridge where they tossed my lunch box so I could grab it, and she said angrily “ Too late, I already threw it away, everything’s gone”. To which I replied “no, I’m going to fish for my lunch box now, thank you.” She then asked me for my name at that she was going to tell my supervisor how disrespectful I was being! Then while on my lunch break my supervisor asks me to come to her office. She says “Do you know who that person was? She’s a supervisor, like myself. You need to be respectful to your supervisors.”
