I finally had enough and am resigning
Thank you for the motivation to do this, community! I wouldn’t have had the actual push to do this without the posts, encouraging words or red flags of hostile conditions. But as of today I resigned from my disgusting inhumane job, turned the letter in to my boss and returned the keys for the office building. I now feel compelled to share my story. Things that I rather would not share, but feel the need to share. The bullying I experienced does not necessarily cause infringement of any laws because the business is small~ 17 people and if there are laws they are not applied. I have experienced discrimination against having a chronic illness (type 1 “juvenile” diabetes). I am told I am burdening the system by needing frequent breaks to use the bathroom, drink water, have a snack etc. Everytime I have had to step away I’ve been asked…
Dude worked the stock market, amassed a fortune and has been traveling the world since then. Seemed like an okay guy, but was disconnected from reality.
The title pretty much sums it up, but I was heavily considering quitting one of my two jobs as working 6 days a week has absolutely been taking a toll on my already poor mental and physical health.

They are also negotiating another raise for me to be able to work Job B full-time so I can comfortably quit Job A. I was already considering leaving Job A due to the bosses having profit > wellbeing mindsets, crippling sales goals, being subjected to…
Just spent the whole weekend bouncing between bed and bathroom and back, it should be ok to call in sick on Monday even if I’m feeling better. My 2 rest days were anything but restful! I do mean proper sick though, not self inflicted drinking sick or the likes…
This is just one example, but here is an email from an administrator. email This email is offering a professional development opportunity that takes place in the summer. It is a 5 day, 9-5 workshop. There is no compensation for this whole week of extra work, but how nice of them to offer to at least cover the registration fee (sarcasm). So I have 2 choices Attend a week long seminar, unpaid (actually more than unpaid considering I would need to find childcare), and learn new skills to better my instruction and improve student learning. Or Do not attend and not learn valuable teaching techniques that would impact my students. So the public school system wants me to be a better teacher but wants me to do it on my own time. The school system does offer a few days of paid professional development throughout the year, but only to…
