background: My SO have been dating for two and a half years long distance. The majority of the time she was working at a Canadian Dollar Store Chain as a keyholder(below manager and assistant manager, but above regular employee) while I've been going to university. She decided to move to the city where I'm going to Uni, and I came back after the summer and we got a place together. She decided it would be easier to transfer to another store here, and have more guaranteed hours compared to a random retail/restaurant gig until she found another job. We both thought this would be a reasonable plan so we'd have some stability while living together for the first bit.
Now this store's management seems a lot shittier than her previous store and is making her depressed. She wanted to walk out, and quit a lot earlier then we both expected. I talked with her and thought it would be best to just wait it out until we find her another job, and in the meantime try to find other places to work,and update her resume.
The management belittles their employees, has inefficient methods compared to her old store, and makes them work long shifts if they can't get their monstrous amounts of work done. The store has trouble retaining employees and lots have just walked out. They only have one other person who is in her position, because they keep losing employees. It's been making my gf really stressed and she's fearing for her health.
She couldn't take it after meeting the manager(around week 2),so I helped make her resume, and made up a two-week notice letter and she handed it in yesterday(the third week she's been there). I thought a two-week notice was standard, and that they would be more professional about it. The manager seemed okay at first and took it well, but the next day he was giving her hell about it. He was even trying to harass her while she was on her lunchbreak about her leaving and she was not able to properly relax, and blurted out that she intended on leaving the company anyways. Now the management seems to dislike her even more, and she's afraid they're going to just make the next two weeks hell for her. The management doesn't seem to be responding professional as I expected.
With our finances, I'm going to be having our housing paid with the utilities for the next 10 months(government funding), and she has a little more then $10k saved up, while I have $4k saved up while making $700 a month. Our essential expense will be food, and I'm willing to be on a tighter budget for her health. Should she just walk out of her job since her employer doesn't seem to be professional about it, and my SO's being put under extreme stress?
TLDR My gf is fearing for her health due to a toxic work environment. She handed a two-week notice and the management is being dickish to her. We should be fine financially. Should she just walk out of the job?
