Antiwork

Posting this from an anonymous account for obvious reasons. I currently work at a non-chain restaurant that is privately owned. The management (besides the owner) and coworkers are great, the money is good, and it is not a job I would like to be forced out of. However, the owner of the restaurant is blatantly, unapologetically sexist and misogynistic. In the simplest form, he micromanages and critiques every female employee an incessant amount.
