UPDATE - Had a mental breakdown today after months of being bullied and belittled by my bosses. Is quitting via email with no notice justified for me?

So I just wanted to say a big big biggggg thank you for all your support and help from my post. I posted it right before I went to what would be my last shift at that wretched place and was gobsmacked when I went on my break to have received not only over 200 comments, but also some lovely people who gave me both reddit gold and silver. That honestly made me teary. So thank you very much.

I would like to say that although it was very clear I was being bullied at work, I do have a hard time leaving bad situations and my anxiety mixed with my feelings of caring too much sometimes make it difficult. I felt a lot better typing it all up and getting it off my chest, and I am really grateful for all the advice and support I got as a result. Sometimes receiving validation and advice from unbiased anonymous strangers on the internet really does give you that push.

So on Monday I quickly typed up a 3 line resignation letter to my boss. I didn't say why I was leaving or where I was going, just that I will not be returning back to my job and cya later. I then messaged a few people who were good friends to me at work saying I had left and thanks for everything. A lot of you said to probably expect a call the next day, but I didn't get a call or email the next day. Or the day after. It's currently Friday and I was meant to have a shift yesterday but they didn't ring me when I was meant to start so I'd say they got my email and that I've fucked off. I don't think I'll hear from them again. I did try and get in touch with my country's workers union all week, but it kept ringing out. I'll keep trying. In the meantime, my mum helped me write up a letter to HR explaining my situation and the bullying I recieved. A lot of you said what they did to me was grounds for harassment and totally illegal, so I'll wait to see what my union and HR says about the matter.

But aside from that, I feel wonderful. Absolutely brilliant. As I mentioned in my post, I did quit with enough savings to last me unemployed for at least a few months, and I'm very blessed to still live at home so it's not a crisis for me. I spent the whole week (in between uni assignments) applying for jobs and hope to find something again soon.

The only question I would like to ask is what should I say if a future employee asks in the hiring process why I left this job? I plan on applying for either retail or customer service jobs because I still have another year left of my degree so I'll need the same part time student job places. I don't know if I should outright say bullying but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to say.

Thanks again for everything, this community is absolutely wonderful.

Edit: thank you to the beautiful soul who gave me silver and for everyone else’s support ❤️
