They really don't care

So, I worked for a big named shipping company, can't say who they are but it's not FedEx or Amazon or USPS. Ive worked for them for over 12 years and have been in management for the past 3. I transfered to the airport in February 2019, everything was good then all of a sudden we just started getting dumped on with extra amounts of volume, and the airport facility wasn't built to process as much volume as they were giving us, and we reached out to the higher ups to renovate or upgraded or something that would ease the unnecessary stress that all the volume was putting on everyone, but nothing, they just kept shitting on us, and we made miracles happen everyday and when we didn't make a miracle or the plane ran out of room for all that volume, and the left over packages were now considered service failures, guess who got blamed by the higher ups for the service failures, us supervisors were and we felt that was wrong and uncalled for. And another thing with that, when we made miracles happen, we never got rewarded or recognized for it, no raises, NOTHING except for "here's more volume" but when we had those service failures they acted like it was the end of the world. So it started killing my spirit and happiness, I hated having to go into work, like really would go from being happy to just being sad cause I had to go to that place. So let me remind u, being in management, u can't have facial hair, until about a year ago when an email went out to all management that said we can have facial hair as long as it was taken care of, so I started growing my goatee back (I've had a goatee since 5th grade, it's my trademark) and a week later another email came out saying the facial hair rule only applied to certain facilities and customer counter management, and we didn't interact with customers so why couldn't we have facial hair, so fast forward to me feeling sad and dreading going to the facility at the airport, until I decided "they r going to keep shitting on us, they aren't listening to our requests, they blame us for their doings and they are getting bonuses from our miracles and yet us supervisors are not getting a piece of the pie, screw it, I'm growing my goatee back, it won't make me fully not depressed but it'll make it easier to go to work" so I grew it back out, it looks great, so a week and a half pass and my bosses boss comes in one night and at the end of the night, all of us supervisors are doing are paper work, computer work etc and my boss starts letting us go home, and I'm starting to do my time card and she says "Sean, can u stay after, I need to have a word with u" and she let everyone else leave, so I stayed and when everyone left she brought me in her office with her boss in there and sat me down and said your facial hair is against policy, do u wanna keep it through religious reasons or a Dr's note? And I thought for a minute and replied "neither." They asked y, I explained it to her and her boss and u know what her boss said, her boss pretty much said "quit you're whining, were going to continue to shit on y'all, and there's nothing else that matters" not giving a crap about my happiness or depression and they said once more, "are u going to shave?" And I said "nope" and her boss said "give me your badge" and I said "r u firing me" she replied "no u r quitting" and I said "no u r firing me" and she said give me your badge and made me sign a resignation letter so their wouldn't be any bad blood from them for future employers seeking info from them. And that was that, 12+ years, fired unceremoniously, it hurt, but on my drive home, I felt all the depression and sadness just melt away, and since I've been so much more happier and people have noticed. I still go and see my fellow supervisors and they tell me it's getting worse. I feel bad for them but it's their choice to live unhappy. And the company is UPS or Under Paid Slaves. So screw them, they're going down hill anyways and by the way, if there is any investors reading this that invested in Abneys vision for the future of the company, know this, u won't be getting your money back, cause he conned yall
