I've been urging my husband to quit his toxic job for a while now, buttoday he called & told me they dropped the straw that broke the camels back.
About 2 months ago, he requested just under 80 hrs. PTO spread across 3 weeks (a few half days & some full days off) to visit family coming in from overseas. His btch manager denied most of it, and only approved about 21 hrs. across 3 weeks…so he won't have much time to enjoy his parents being here. He also is “not allowed” to work from home (only the manager, apparently) so he has to drive across town [his company *was 100% remote with an awesome culture until they merged with a capital management firm last year].
But it got worse…
Today, his manager tells him that 2 people just quit, so he will be doing THEIR work now too! No pay increase or anything, just the additional duties of 2 full time employees (they still haven't filled the vacancy from the last person in the department who quit months ago, so this won't be a temporary arrangement). He will probably need to come in on those days he requested off so he can “catch up” the work from the others.
I'm hoping he just quits. We don't have a plan, buy I can't watch this job crush his soul everyday.
