I gave myself a christmas gift today.....

[tiggr33]

I quit my job!!!

After enduring months of on and off hostile enviroment and finding out my promised 40% increase wasn't reflected in my lastest check and finding out it never was going to materialize. And over-hearing a conversation that I was going to be fired next week once the holiday rush was over, I quit and walked out on the busiest day of the year. I feel 100% good about my decision. It's too bad, I did enjoy the work. But I grew tired of hearing other employees refered to as "retards" by the owner of the company, I got tired of hearing the word that got Isiah Washington in trouble on Grey's Anatomy. It is the first (and I hope last) time I encounter workplace homophobia (I was only out to my direct Boss) and the small minded-ness and bigotry.

Now, if I could only figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

Good for you, I say!!!! I think I'd be inclined to make a phone call to the state EEOC day after tomorrow if I were in your shoes...

Just wondering how you're doing .... Have you decided on the new next step? Keep us informed.

I haven't made any decisions on my next step. I am waiting to see if they play with my paycheck that is to be issued today for last week. If I decide to be a whistleblower, I have to decide if I want to have a negative impact on the few people who work there that have to work there (proverty level employees).

I am looking for another job, but have a cushion to fall on, so I have some time before I hit critical. I also own 2 of my own business's that I will increase productivity on.

I also have a great partner and family to support the decisions I made.

We spend too much time at work to suffer in an environment like that. I'm glad you made the decision to quit and I'm sure you'll be much happier for it. Keep us posted but I know everything will work out for you.
