Thank you. How did you word what you said? I don't want to come across as aggressive or giving a strong ultimatum.

"I would rather leave the company than endure another minute"

However you phrase it, if that is your actual thinking, it will sound like an ultimatum. Your best bet is to say things clearly and not try to hide.

What is unclear: do you hate the task itself (because it is bureaucratic, repetitive, needs interacting with people you dislike) or do you hate the consequences of the task (privacy violations, squeezing money out of poor people, making weapons)?
