    Definitely quit. You're being treated completely unfairly. In fact, e-mail me the name of your company and the name of your immediate supervisor and I'll send him a stern e-mail explaining that his employees are unhappy due to his mismanagement. I'll attach my resume and cover letter so that he has an idea of how well off other workers in the world are. Yeah. That's the ticket.
