I've been an Executive Assistant with the company for 11 years. Last year I was given a very big promotion which I didn't really want but accepted it for the experience. It has been challenging but is very stressful, 24/7 (yep .. I work a lot of evenings and weekends).
How do I start to get out? What should I do first ? Should I talk to my boss? Look for a new position in another company? Cash in RRSPs?
My financial situation will no doubt change so I will have lots of re-arranging to do and I am afraid of that. Yet I don't like to be working solely for money. I don't mind hard work but this work environment is not at all fulfilling. It's making me ill.
I'm thinking of cashing in some RRSP's to give me a cushion while I am looking around. I am close to retirement age and don't have alot of money and thought I could work an extra few years but the stress is too much and it doesn't look like it's going to ease up.
