“However, there have been others who have had performance issues and had nothing done to them– hence the toxicity of the work environment,” he noted.
Regardless, at the end of his suspension, he will be forced to write a letter about how he plans to improve at work.
So, given the environment at his job, he decided that instead of handing in the letter, he would just submit a letter of resignation. Then, he plans to try and get a Social Security Supplement, which he is eligible for.
“It would be a struggle,” he admitted, “But we could make it.”
Once he filled his wife in on the situation, she was supportive of his choice, too. But then, the following day, she completely switched her opinion and started “hounding” him not to quit his job.
This seriously ticked him off, given her past work history. And now, he actually wants to call his wife out for basically being a hypocrite.
More specifically, he wants to tell his wife, “For most of our marriage, I have been responsible for providing money. I earned a retirement. Maybe you should get a job!”
But before he totally snaps and tells his wife off, he’s not sure if that would be the wrong thing to do.
Can you understand why he’s sick of being the breadwinner in their household? Would you also be hurt if your partner didn’t support you in leaving a toxic job after you supported them through countless lost positions? How should he handle this situation?
