My. Job. Sucks.

My pump is messed up and I got it from wic so I called last week to make an appointment. My appointment is tomorrow. I let my job know last week that I'd need to leave early tomorrow.
Well I go downstairs to hr because I have to pump in the interview room and one of the ladies came up to me and told me that my time off request was denied because it's not a doctors appointment or court mandated. The hr manager then proceeded to tell me that it wasn't necessary because I could always have someone go to the appt for me. I explained to her that that would mean that I go a day without my pump so my daughter wouldn't have food the next day.
Her response was that I choose to breastfeed. You're kidding me right? Is she even aloud to say that? I was so dumbfounded. I couldn't even say anything.
They are a really shitty company. They're ALWAYS hiring because they lose someone every other day and I'm pretty sure they're just trying to make me quit because it's a hassle for me to pump. They've penalized me before for coming back from break late. I pump on my break and have fifteen minutes to go from floor five to floor one with an elevator that's broken half the time and pump.
I was even written up once for "work avoidance" because I was THREE minutes late from break and I was seen in the break room FILLING up my water bottle. I was told that because I know I pump I have to time it better. Oh. And I was written up by my uncles ex wife who hates my family.
I'm so irritated. I really need to find a new job. Thanks for the vent.
