The only staff member being monitored

I'm disabled and recently got COVID, it was horrible and I almost died – I'm still recovering but it's a slow process building back up my energy levels and stamina.

They're checking what time I send emails, when the system logs jobs I've done (it doesn't log everything I do) and making comments about how much I've done and how long THEY think it should have taken.

I should just quit now but I can't bills with buttons.
