Quitting My Job Tomorrow, No Notice – Please hype me up

I'm so sorry if this is not extremely coherent, I just tested positive for covid and I'm exhausted. Just to preface all of this, this is a really small company so there's no HR. I'm not at risk of losing any housing or not being able to pay any other bills and I'm extremely lucky to have a support system that will help me through this financially for the time being. While none of this is illegal, it's still morally corrupt and ruining my mental health to be around. My partner and I decided that it's time for us to leave our niche small business retail job. I worked part time while I was finishing up college. I'm really devastated by everything that has happened because I've been here for 2 years and really loved the actual job itself.

I'm so sorry if this is not extremely coherent, I just tested positive for covid and I'm exhausted.

Just to preface all of this, this is a really small company so there's no HR. I'm not at risk of losing any housing or not being able to pay any other bills and I'm extremely lucky to have a support system that will help me through this financially for the time being. While none of this is illegal, it's still morally corrupt and ruining my mental health to be around.

My partner and I decided that it's time for us to leave our niche small business retail job. I worked part time while I was finishing up college. I'm really devastated by everything that has happened because I've been here for 2 years and really loved the actual job itself. The work environment has done a complete 180 and easily has become one of the most toxic places I've worked in.

When I first started, there was no drama at all, everyone was mellow and really kept to themselves. It just came to light that a 30 year old manager groomed a 19 year old coworker (he was her manager when she was 16). Not only are they dating, but he's fast tracking her through two promotions already. I cannot, in good conscious, be around someone so creepy and predatory. The shitty manager also hit on multiple employees (some as young as 17) and constantly asks about their dating life, extremely personal questions and pressures them into going to his “favorite expensive chinese place” while his girlfriend isn't around. My partner and I let the owner know that it makes us and multiple other employees uncomfortable and we were told to “cope or quit”. Since being upfront and honest about the situation to the boss, the girlfriend started trying to physically intimidate me by taking my clothes that I hung up and slamming them on the floor, essentially making a massive mess on a busy day that I have to clean up.

The job itself has become extremely micromanaged. We're now judged by production numbers and while I do twice the amount of everyone else, I still get treated like I'm stupid by the managers. The management team has nearly tripled, and every manager is within the same clique of people. The managers also constantly create drama by spreading around rumors.

I'm so far past the point of actually being hurt by this situation and I feel numb to the thought of quitting.
