Sometimes, there is only so much poor treatment one can take. It is an unfortunate reality that in certain workplace environments, employees have to expect a certain level of vigilance from management that can, at times, border on micromanaging or even callous. However, the greatest indicator that a workplace is run by decent folks is how they treat their employees when they are going through hardship and need support.
In this instance, we have an employee who was in the midst of a health scare regarding her kidneys, which meant she could not work for a couple of days. Of course, this was an overachiever who went back to work as soon as she could, even if she should have remained resting for longer, but that was not enough to please management. Instead, they piled on more work on her plate and showed no sympathy regarding her recovery. It all coalesced to a breaking point in the middle of the night when the Redditor's spouse told her how this new job has clearly affected her confidence and self-esteem on top of everything else. Thankfully, the Redditor was sane enough to realize that this was beyond fixable and she needed to get out while she still could.
