It was rejected due to an “urgent report” that had to be submitted. Today (Saturday) I was asked to come in again.

I'm absolutely enraged. For months into my first “proper” job and I want to quit. This is my first job and due to our project having a lot of deadlines, we've had to work on the weekends (including Sundays sometimes). Some days we have to stay in the office till 8:30 PM. I reach home at 9:30 PM in an extremely unsafe city.

So yesterday (Friday) I put in a leave request because I wanted to get a lump checked out by a doctor because it's been weighing on me. It was rejected due to an “urgent report” that had to be submitted. Today (Saturday) I was asked to come in again. I called my manager and said that I can't who then proceeded to tell me that I was LYING. I am so godamn angry. It's Saturday. I'm not supposed to be working. He said that I need to put in extra hours during the week now.

There are so many other incidents that have happened and I really want to quit. But there's literally a two month notice period and I can't find a new job. I can't afford to not have a job. I feel trapped and feel stressed out and anxious all the time. If anybody has any advice please let me know.
