So last month I quit my last job and have managed to find a new one within two weeks (which is good), but I'm at a point where I just feel like venting and letting it all out.

Let me preface this by saying that if you ever overhear an employer pressuring your coworker into having an abortion just because "they don't want to do things by the book" then take it as a red flag they will search for ways to screw you over.

Anyways, I left the last job because no matter how hard I tried I could never catch a fucking break. Whenever anything, and I mean anything no matter how minor, was to go wrong I was always the scapegoat because it was much easier that way. It was easier to blame than to admit any wrong doings... I was able to take it for a while but it does after a while really kill morale. Doesn't help employer had a tendency to micro manage, which doesn't help when same employer doesn't plan tasks for the week but rather does it by the day- and the deadlines were always fucking ridiculous too. I was able to meet up to those for a while, but somewhere between being stuck completing several last minute tasks and working over 60+ hours a week with less than minimum wage pay had burnt me out to the point of no return.

But what really got me to leave? The part where employer demanded I break up with my boyfriend because how fucking dare I want a life outside of work. Oh no my performance didn't drop because of their lack of realism when it came to jobs- nope, clearly it was because of the fact I wasn't married to the job!

That event ended up telling me one thing: she expected enployees to basically be yesman with absolutely no life outside of working at a farm. To me, that's unacceptable plain and simple no matter what field it is.

So as for the coworker who was getting pressured into having an abortion just so employer wouldn't have to pay into benefits for maternity leave? She left of course- until I was in the position of employer trying to invade my personal life decisions, I had no idea why she did suddenly quit.

It was scary to abruptly quit at first but now I have no regrets.
