I just sort of quit my job. It started this morning in the break room when someone who’s already high risk to covid said “this mask is driving me crazy” then started taking it off and coughing. I controlled myself around her but then in the backroom I asked for gloves in my size and their were none. Then someone else coughed. So I started talking to the manager about how uncomfortable I was with the social distancing. She didn’t exactly validate my feelings so I asked to talk to her in the office where I really chewed her out. I mentioned people taking off their masks and the lack of social distancing and no equipment. And I mentioned being transgender as well. She did give me a pair of gloves when I went in the back but they were too big and also 2 right gloves. I tried working but I was uncomfortable with how angry I was and how I had talked to the manager. I’ve never been like that at work before and I’ve never spoken like that with a manager. I only get like that with my therapist and my mom. So I talked to another manager and said I needed to leave because I just couldn’t deal with it. I told him I’d take a leave. But I just didn’t want to quit on the spot.

It was the social distancing and the coughing and masks but I was also very uncomfortable with how I was acting and I honestly do not think it is appropriate for me to be working when I am like this.
