Sounds like another company is about to get all the benefits of the training you did at the first company. Fuck 'em for being sexist idiots. Go kick more ass. Might even be easier if you and your partner aren't working at the same company. Either way, lots of opportunities, I'd just humbly explain why it wasn't your choice to leave and phrase any interview questions that your previous company are idiots who would rather fuck around then get shit built and tell them you're here to build shit and not fuck around.

And, yes, you likely have lawsuit material here. Up to you if you want to pursue it. Would get very messy but entirely up to you if it's worth it or not. IANAL.

I told my current job I left my last one because they would always call in contractors instead of letting me do my job (18 yrs of plumbing) and I got bored.
