I am beyond emotionally exhausted, so I am headed to bed. Thanks again.

Hi Betty!

I'm sorry I haven't chimed in before now. You know how it goes...between RL and the game, there's only so much time left over to interact here on the Wiki. And, well, I know there's a lot of really great people here already providing you support. 😍 But I have been following the threads about your situation as often as I can and did want to extend my best wishes for a speedy exit that has you leaving the company on a good note...for the sake of your future, not theirs.

I have a background in HR and Administration. I don't know what your background is exactly but, if you follow through on starting up an HR consulting company and want to pick an HR brain, I'd be happy to help if I can.

It is a lot of work, though, starting and running a company. If you haven't done it before, there may be easier things you can try instead to help keep you from another toxic work environment. I don't know about Canada but here in the U.S. I've researched and found that telecommuting jobs are becoming more popular and there are even companies that specialize in placing people in such positions. If such exists in Canada, it could serve you well, especially since you are in Edmonton. Here there are also companies that specialize in HR and Administration outsourcing. And there are more temporary agencies than one can count. In the past, I've worked on assignment through agencies between permanent positions quite often, sometimes for over a year, registering with several at the same time and alternating between them for my assignments. Perhaps you could join an existing company instead of starting your own. Just a few thoughts I wanted to throw out to you in case you hadn't already thought of them.

In the meantime, hang in there and I hope your exit strategy gets you out of that company before you lose it. And I hope that your Dad's health improves and that things get a little less stressful for you. Take care of yourself. 🙏😍
