Not knowing the specifics of the circumstance, I cannot second guess you. But read my post on taking matters seriously.........

I wanted to clarify my position on your story: either quitting was known to be fairly inconsequential, in which case there was no dilemma, and you could afford rash action, or you placed yourself and your loved ones in serious jeopardy, in which case, the failure to deliberate was culpable. Otherwise, I have no idea of the relative weight of the offense vs. the probable trouble caused by quitting, and so cannot say what the results of deliberation should have been.........

I suspect that a lot depends on the job. My own experiences as a factory worker (long ago, I confess) lead me to suspect that many in such jobs look on a certain amount of shit-eating as a normal and expected part of the course. At that level of the employment spectrum, a job is not a part of your personal identity, it is something you do for money. That makes a difference in your attitude toward the crap you take on the job.
