So I work for some rich people who are definitely not what you’d call generous. I want to quit, but this would be yet another job in a long string of short term jobs that I always quit after majorly splitting the bosses. I like the place, but I feel used, and I wasn’t assertive enough in the beginning so now I’m getting walked all over. I am not sure if I am splitting this time, or if anyone would consider this too much to take. I need this job, and am looking for others, but it does have perks like being super flexible.
The reasoning for quitting that I have stuck in my head is the dishonest and asshole nature of the bosses. They hate gay people (they have no idea I’m bi) and have cut their only child completely out of their life for being gay. They have on occasion said really horrible elitist things, like poor people don’t deserve air conditioning (I live in a state where it’s physically dangerous to be without), and are racist. These are the big ones. The other significant things are that they commit insurance fraud (claiming disability when there is none), get free food from a local grocery store claiming to be handing out food to kids, and skimming large sums from their non-profit (for which they happen to be the only board members).
I like the place, but am not sure that I can stand it much longer. All I think about when I’m there are these negative things, but I’m sure there are positive qualities that I just can’t see. I have torpedoed every job prior to this one, and feel myself about to do it again. They got back from 2 months traveling Europe, and didn’t even bring me a postcard. Or let me work those 2 months (= no pay). Or give me a holiday bonus.
I feel used and abused, but am I splitting or is this a toxic workplace?
