Boycotting Amazon for My Department Because I am Petty AF

So I handle sourcing for my department because my coworkers are pretty bad with tech. Whenever they ask to buy ANYTHING, the first search result is usually from some big company, but I will go out of my way to avoid those suppliers even if it costs a bit more because 1) It's not MY money 2) fuck those guys I know that it doesn't make a big difference, but I do it out of spite

My toxic workplace denied me a raise so I quit, now they’re so desperate for workers they raised the base pay to what I asked for

Edited for grammar. TL;DR: I asked for a long-overdue raise from $12 to $14/hr and was denied and punished simply for asking, so I quit: within 18 months, most other employees also quit and the company is so desperate for workers they’ve raised the base pay to … $14/hr! Background: I had been a vet assistant both in private practice and in an animal shelter environment and had a lot of experience in the industry. After my partner got a good promotion that paid most of our bills, I was free to downgrade my pay in order to work a “passion project” job at a non-profit animal shelter that I admired, thinking that minimum wage wouldn’t matter because I’d be doing something I loved and making a difference in the lives of homeless animals.

Being fired for criminal background

So yesterday I was called into HR, and I was told that they had no idea I had a criminal background. I've worked for this company for nearly 2 years and had disclosed this information to the site manager as well as the director at the time of my hire and they told me that HR and all other relevant people were informed. I can understand not offering me employment due to a criminal record, but can they fire me 2 years down the road? I know they can fire me for literally anything, but this seems like wrongful termination. Would really appreciate any advice here. Just for clarification, I have had no issues with the law in over 10 years.

I am tired of politics and the workplace.

( I do not want to debate COVID politics ) but I am tired of knowing too damn much about my employers and their views on politics and culture. I don't want to work for a company that takes selfies at the truck convoy, and complains when they see me wearing a mask. I shouldn't have to explain my or my family's medical issues for them to not look down on me for wearing a mask. If they carry these views as Christian conservatives, what else about me would they hate? I want to be seen for the work I do and not that political views I don't agree with.

Workers need more protections. We finally got assaulting a RN to be a felony let’s make it across the board. This is unacceptable.
