When I got dealt raw treatment on the job, I used to take two days off, just to send a message, sort of a "job action" in lieu of quitting, till I was ready to do that. I hope you find a situation where you'll be valued and shown that. I've had both kinds of jobs. Usually, when I left a place, I ended up being somewhere that was better in some way. (Though not always, but often enough.)

So she says she treats everyone the same way. That wouldn't surprise me. Sometimes coworkers can give you some validation. I got that from a coworker I never expected it from, after we both had quit and ran into each other at a subsequent job site. She told me our previous job environment had given her PTSD. All the time I had thought she was fine with the place.
I appreciate your reply, Rose. Good to realise that calling in sick is a valid response. Those things don't come naturally to me. It is a good way to express displeasure.

I'm not obstinate, or uncooperative. We're all under a lot of pressure due to staff shortages and unrealistic targets. Something has to give, and blaming the staff for not working quickly enough is a logical outcome.

What I have to try and decide is if my boss's improved attitude is going to last...
Thanks for this!
