What do you think about the reason i quit my job?
I had been at my job for 5 years. In a way I felt it hindered my progress at school because I was a workaholic. Clients loved me for my work ethic and consideration, fellow coworkers loved working with me because I knew my stuff.
For the past two years I worked with a boss that was pretty closed-minded. He'd see a black dude hanging out with a white chick and say, "What? Is she crazy? What is she doing with him?" He also says, "Girls from certain races are not marriage material, and just to have fun with." I tolerated and digested a lot of such awful opinions and viewpoints for many months. Not only was he closed-minded but insecure and petty. He could never be genuinely happy for another person, but instead envious. He was manipulative in a way too. Would make you think he actually cared about you or your stuff but he always has a personal interest to whatever good thing he did.
A few months ago I got transferred to another branch. Not under his jurisdiction. It was amazing. I loved it. It was slightly more money, and for more responsibility and work, but I didn't mind it. I was happy with how much I made anyway...
But then a week ago he tried to tell me how if I chose to return to his branch, I would make more money. I thought that was strange, because everyone in the world knew that branch he owned was one of the worst. It all made sense when he told me he wanted me to come back. People in the company made jokes that my boss was too dependent on me because I knew a lot of stuff and was basically and acting-boss in many scenarios. I tried my level best to stay at my current branch or go to another one, but my boss had connections higher up and prevented anything of that sort. My hours got reduced from 35 to 10-20 a week.
And so I quit.
I didn't even go to collect my paycheck because that means facing him. And I won't. Even though it's a few hundred dollars.
I have 27k in savings which I will live off of for a few months. Then I will find another job. I know, I know. Economy. But I'm not too worried about it. I'm a good worker. I'll get one preferably at my university, among like-minded and open-minded people.
