I quit.

Black Sheep in the Workplace.

So today I my first attempt at making homemade shampoo. As always, I rushed it and didn't read directions and ended up with a head full of apple cider vinegar and a short drive to work. Now obviously I had known it looked a little rough all day, but I thought I would just throw it up when I got to work and be completely fine. Wrong. I was absolutely humiliated in front of an entire group of co-workers saying I looked like complete shit. At first I was in shock and attempted to laugh it off. But when I got home, I realized how out of line my boss was in making those comments towards me. Friends or not, I refuse to be treated in such a manor. I feel like this runs rapid. A person obtains a little bit of power and completely abuses it. If you are different you are outcast among the group. Today I have realized that life is too short to subject myself to such cruelty. You can fail even in a safe job, so why wouldn't you do what you love? I will spend the next few weeks looking for different avenues in which I do not have to participate in the normal work environment. I eat bad there, I downgrade people, I'm always on edge, and anxiety levels go through the roof. I don't have to surround myself with people that I can't stand just to make ends meet. Abuse in any form is not okay and I refuse to engage in something I don't support anymore. We steal from thousands of people by marking rates up, stealing trades, and ripping off customers to make an extra buck. I will not partake in stealing money from hard working people again. You know what,  I'm glad I'm the black sheep. I don't see anything okay in how they treat people. I don't see anything okay with how they treat each other. I refuse to be a part of it any longer.




I quit....
