My job status went from on-call to laid off
I was let go because the boss didn't want a woman washing dishes in the kitchen. While I'm relieved to be gone from that workplace, I'm still angry. The only boss who supported me left after an argument with the owner. After he quit, the main boss took over, acting superior and making the environment unbearable.
