Hi all, I've been thinking about this for a while and need some advice. I moved from the UK back to Canada in October due to my mom being diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo a lot of treatment and wanted to be there for her. For those who aren't aware Canada is SUPER expensive so I got a job with an old employer which I've been at since November. It's a call centre called Sitel but I'm not on the phones but rather I'm work from home doing email customer service. I'm trained as a financial analyst so I'm no longer used to dealing with customers on a day to day basis so naturally taking this job was a bit of a step back for me but I took what I could get as I wasn't planning on staying here for a super long time.

“Bring me solutions, not problems”
First, it should be said that the people who identify problems aren’t always in the best position to solve them; problems are best solved together. Second, a work culture that discourages us from speaking up is bound to bring disaster…That sentiment is particularly pronounced in environments that lack trust and employees don’t feel psychologically secure. If you're the boss, aren't you being paid to problem-solve? I have never understood that phrase. Major red flag. https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/articles/bring-me-solutions-not-problems
