Throwaway account because I work in a political office.
I got this job over a year ago and, as someone with only one year of experience, I was over the moon and grateful to be picked by my supervisor. Before I even signed a contract, I willingly did work for the office and for my supervisor's other job. I didn't ask questions or raise a fuss. Stupid, I know, but I was a fresh graduate who badly needed money to pay the bills. I was just so thankful to be employed in a stable job with benefits.
But then things got worse. Supervisor would expect me to balance both our office and her other office's tasks, give me impossible to meet deadlines right before the weekend (which meant I was working all weekend). She wouldn't do any work herself --- she'd just assign it to me and other staffers and pretend it was hers. She wouldn't mention it to our boss that we did the work and she made it seem like everything was her idea and effort. But all she would do was proofread and send our files back to us with minor errors (usually to delete one word which she somehow couldn't do herself. It was maddening!). If we made even one tiny mistake, be it a typo, she would go on a long tirade where she would imply we were being careless or stupid, usually both.
She would assign work that was "urgent" and demand that it be submitted within the day, yet not tell me when it was no longer needed (she'd usually find out by lunch or so) so I would be stressed out all day for no reason. She would demand for us to submit work before Monday, but only check her e-mail on Monday after lunch. She would also make us do her errands like call her service provider, print out her plane tickets, drop off documents at her home (this work is not in our job descriptions). There's a lot, but to sum it up: she would make us go on fool's errands just to see us stressed and complain about how this affects our work. She has numerous other jobs and she makes us do her work for all of them, but we don't get a single cent for doing so. My work has also lessened on policy-related things and became more media-and admin-oriented (which is supposed to be a small part of the job and a downgrade).
But this job pays well. I have insurance and a big salary for someone with my age and degree. But the environment has become so toxic that I fear submitting work. My work has also been heavily skewed to favour her other office (I have already planned, drafted, and oversaw an entire magazine for that!), and this makes me upset because I can do more than this. I'm not learning anything about politics and policy-making anymore (my original motivation for staying). Should I quit? Would you if you were in my shoes? Should I stop doing work on the weekends and working on things that aren't for the office? Am I overreacting about not being able to do policy-related material (I only graduated in 2017)
Someone already told our boss about this, but he hasn't done anything so far so I don't really have that option.
