Over 3 years I meticulously audited & reconciled invoices, deposits, & sales tax for yrs 2019-2024 for a client, enabling them to file past taxes & comply with payroll regulations. This resulted in over $13,000 in sales tax credits & refunds. I did this comprehensive work at $20/hr, receiving 5 vacation days annually the first 2 yrs.
For 2025, I set up their new QuickBooks Online account. Then they reduced my hrs from 40 to 4 per week.

Upon requesting payment for my accrued vacation (12 days third year), I was denied, the client claimed “hourly employees were ineligible”, and dismissed the previous vacation time as a "favor."

Despite reporting for my first 4hr shift, I’m reluctant to continue, feeling undervalued & disrespected. The client's sudden shift in hours, denial of earned vacation, coupled with their condescending explanation, has created a hostile work environment.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?
