I recently had to quit my job at a large company in Wisconsin due to some serious issues with working conditions and legal concerns. My role involved scheduling appointments for clients, but the company made it impossible to take breaks, even for basic needs like water and bathroom breaks. I went over a month without any proper breaks, and they often scheduled me for long hours without allowing me to eat or drink during my shifts. This led to significant health issues, including rapid weight loss, and my doctor advised me to consider quitting. Additionally, I was instructed to ignore legal disclosures while assisting clients with credit card applications and other services, which felt unethical and risky. After facing harassment from clients due to my unique name being used in public-facing emails, I felt unsafe and overwhelmed. I also lost my health insurance benefits, making it difficult to afford necessary medications. Before quitting, I thought I had another job lined up, but after multiple interviews and promises of hiring, the start date kept getting pushed back. Now, I'm left without a job and struggling with unemployment claims, as the system indicates unreported work that doesn’t exist. I’m considering seeking legal advice but am unsure where to start, especially since I can't afford a lawyer. It's been a tough situation, and I’m still trying to figure out my next steps.
