S3 E12: "I'm done with evil bosses and toxic workplaces. Can I stand up without being hammered down?" Bitches Get Riches

- Self-Improvement
TODAY'S QUESTION:
I have worked at a string of less than perfect places with toxic managers and owners. As a feisty Capricorn, all I want to do in my exit interview is to read the toxic motherfuckers I work under for filth. To say “You overwork us, lean on staff to the extreme, don’t respect our personal lives, force people to come in sick, and engage in serial wage theft!” But I live in a big small town where the owners of these places all know each other.
After some serious self-reflection, I can’t really say I do anything wrong at work other than being over qualified for the job, highly competent, and sticking up for myself so I don’t work for free or let people steal my wages. I know that bosses don’t like people who know their rights. But I swear I’m otherwise a good employee.
I’m finding myself in a smaller and smaller pool of places to seek employment because every time I try somewhere new it’s the same toxic b******t. And I am SICK of pretending that everything is fine when I inevitably quit for better wages or because I’m sick of the manager’s BS.
TLDR; how the hell do you speak your mind to a toxic boss in a small town when you quit without royally f*****g your future job prospects?
