Did you give them their severance or notice in lieu?

Thankfully a quick exit strategy was self-initiated and able to pursue readily available options. In some ways it's easier to go on your terms versus getting laid off. In some ways having the bandaid ripped off is also easier. Said based upon my own experiences during my career where I've experienced both several times.

It sucks that you were put in a bad situation that forced you to quit your job and while I’m glad it worked out well for you, with only a finite number of available jobs out there it’s obviously not always going to be the case. In those cases it’s nice to have the ability to address the problem without having to give up your job. Unfortunately right now the labour and employment standards codes provide very few options to the majority of workers in this province dealing with these types of situations.
