So my boss is finally back from vacation, and I've just told them that I'm quitting. I'll stay through the end of March, mostly because we just lost a third of the staff in one week and the store is the most on-fire it has ever been in the three years I've been there. I'm not cruel, okay?

But I am done.

Mostly because boss's New Boss has proven in two months to be a petty tyrant of the worst sort. I mean, openly contemptuous of everyone under their leadership, demanding the literally impossible, threatening. An absolute piece of work.

And as far as I can tell, entirely representative of the direction in which the company is moving. It would be bad enough if this was one person being an ass on their own, going rogue. But no, I think this is what the company stands for now.

And it turns out, I have certain philosophical standards I'm not willing to sacrifice. Hills upon which I will die. Apparently, even when it's just a shitty day job with relatively limited power to shape the world, I'm not willing to implicitly condone their garbage behavior by working for them. We have started to verge into moral injury territory for me, which was not something I would have expected possible under the circumstances.

Also, they made life difficult for kids I like, and I am nothing if not viciously protective of my people. They're finding new jobs as it is, so I need only to register my protest by quitting as well.

So! Life continues to be unacceptably exciting!
