mentally divorced my job

Background: in the most USian situation ever, I got a second job to pay my hospital bills because my teacher salary wasn't enough. I work part time at a tutoring place. My side job recently changed hands. They casually mentioned that we needed to bring our laptops in for work. I told my boss I don't have a laptop. She asked me to use my public school provided laptop. I said I was uncomfortable misusing school resources to subsidize their profits.

And this unethical computer thing is not something I can get past. Now there is nothing they can do right and I can't stand the sight of them (it). Since I mentally divorced myself from this job, do I quit? I don't have a second side…


Background: in the most USian situation ever, I got a second job to pay my hospital bills because my teacher salary wasn't enough. I work part time at a tutoring place.

My side job recently changed hands. They casually mentioned that we needed to bring our laptops in for work. I told my boss I don't have a laptop. She asked me to use my public school provided laptop. I said I was uncomfortable misusing school resources to subsidize their profits. If my computer is damaged at tutoring place, I am financially responsible.

I have this thing where I mentally divorce myself from something. And this unethical computer thing is not something I can get past. Now there is nothing they can do right and I can't stand the sight of them (it). Since I mentally divorced myself from this job, do I quit? I don't have a second side job lined up, so I wouldn't quit until I had some form of income. But I just despise it now.

(There were more bad things that happened with the change in ownership, but this unethical computer thing was the straw that broke the camel's back.)
