Lindsay, I'm so sorry you are going through this. It is just the PITS to have to go to a job everyday that you don't like or that makes you so stressed out. It isn't good for you. But, this may not be the best time to look for a new job - so you may have to tough it out for awhile. But I would definitely be on the lookout as soon as possible.

Do y'all have unemployment compensation from your government should you be laid off?? Our oldest daughter's roommate was laid off a little over a week ago. She's getting $1,500 severence pay and will be able to collect unemployment for a few months. She's decided to take this opportunity to go ahead and live off unemployment as long as possible and get student loans to finish her education and then look for another job.
You already have your education, but was just wondering if, in the event that your company did fail, can you get unemployment for a while to give you a chance to find another job and still have some income. If so, it might be best to do as Gayle suggests and stick it out for now, but I would definitely keep my eyes open should something else that looks promising come along.

Marilyn, yes we do have EI - employment insurance. I believe you get around 60% of your last salary. My brother works in a trade, so he had to go to school for 2 months a year for 4 years. His company would lay him off for those two months so he could collect EI. But the pay wasn't a lot, and with a mortgage it won't be enough to live off of.

I really feel for you Linds!
And, what a bad time for your job to suck, what with the new condo, and the economy being so bad. Hang in there....everything changes at some point.
