Antiwork

Just walked out in the middle of my shift

I work at a rural grooming salon in Texas. My boss has always been mildly racist, sexist, transphobic, etc. I wasn’t thrilled working there, but I needed money and there’s not a whole lot of options in my field. Today, she went on a rant with another customer about how much she hates black people (she did not say black people) and then backed it up with a bunch of stereotypes. I was two hours into my shift, packed up all my stuff, told her I will not work with someone so racist, and left. She’s been understaffed and I was taking up extra work to accommodate that, but she absolutely deserves to struggle now. I’m sending my mom to return the key and get my last paycheck because I cannot see that woman again.
