Antiwork

Hate my job, want to quit, can’t afford to.

I've been working at this job for 10 months now, I suck at my job, I just don't understand Canadian tax laws and rules no matter how hard I try. Though my primary responsibilities are admin related, it's part of my job to know Tax Laws. My boss, who's owned and ran his business for over 18 years and very good at what he does, is absolutely terrible at training and managing. He's a nice person, but has no patience and has snapped at me for small mistakes and warns me that my job depends on me doing better. I have no other coworkers. My job can be done remotely, he's refused my requests to WFH on occasion. I've been actively looking for another job, but no luck thus far. My mental health has taken quite the turn, I'm constantly depressed, my emotions are no longer stable, all my confidence…


I've been working at this job for 10 months now, I suck at my job, I just don't understand Canadian tax laws and rules no matter how hard I try. Though my primary responsibilities are admin related, it's part of my job to know Tax Laws.

My boss, who's owned and ran his business for over 18 years and very good at what he does, is absolutely terrible at training and managing. He's a nice person, but has no patience and has snapped at me for small mistakes and warns me that my job depends on me doing better. I have no other coworkers. My job can be done remotely, he's refused my requests to WFH on occasion.

I've been actively looking for another job, but no luck thus far. My mental health has taken quite the turn, I'm constantly depressed, my emotions are no longer stable, all my confidence is shot. It's caused my closest relationships to be impacted. Like with my mom, my best friend, and my husband. Financially I can't quit unless I knew for certain EI would probably cover me until I either found a new job, or when I start my IT program in a month (if I'm accepted).

I feel so stuck. I need a structured workplace with good training and coworkers, or a WFH situation where I can be in my own space with everything I could possibly need in the run of a day.
