I’m a pre-medical student and undergraduate researcher specializing in public health. I took a break this semester and currently work at an Oil-lube-tire express. I have about 13 weeks left till I quit and go back to school full time.

The problem I’m having isn’t with the work, but with the coworkers.

They are extremely homophobic, racist, and offense conspiracy theorists. They routinely make comments expressing their views. They have been working at the same place most of their lives and are now in late-middle age.

I’m honestly having a very difficult time dealing with this, I leave work often in a bad mood, I feel bad about myself for interacting with such people, and it’s effecting my home life.

I’m not sure what I’m missing.
