Really tempted to just walk in, grab my stuff and leave. It’s effecting my mental and physical health. Admin are a bunch of jerks to those they don’t like. I’ve literally cried at this job because of how other co-workers and admin have treated me. Do I grab my stuff and leave or try to tough it out until by registration date at the end of this month?
