Leaving a job I quit for being expected to continue to cover for management's inadequacy

(f35) just about had it with the upper management at this company I just quit, and I haven't slept better than I did last night in a long time.

What happened: I was the site lead for a long time, always reliable, always showed up, etc. Then we started having issues with unreliable staff that got brought in, who btw was reccomended by the director of Operations.

I did my due diligence, expressed my concerns, did the write ups, etc. Cut to the problem. That staff calls off and she leaves a 16 hour gap in coverage by doing so. I am already on shift so adding those 2 shifts to my work load would push me to a 32 hour shift with no way to leave the premises (ISP aka clients care plan) nor can I order food (clients mother's house rule). I asked for help from the director of operations as the company doesnt have an operations manager at this time. (Go figure) I will be sending the screenshots of how that interaction went of asked. At that point, I had been told on multiple occasions where there was a significant impromptu staffing gap that I would have to deal with it. I stepped down from the supervisory position.

The next morning I was relieved, bless the staff member that pulled through for me. I made the decision that I would be quitting, effective immediately. The owner of the company reached out attempting to make excuses and gloss over the true reason of why I was immediately resigning, at one point he got off the phone and assumed I'd agreed to stay. No such luck. So I also have screenshots of what was said as some of what was threatened goes against federal law.

I apologize for the last post, it got messed up.
