I am currently working for an employer to which I am not meeting his expectation. He always gets mad and belittles me to which I cannot take it anymore. Would asking for termination with severance and ability to apply for EI be an option? Would I burn bridges?

Thank you for your question.

I would strongly suggest that you visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you would be owed if terminated (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).

Requesting a severance package while still employed can be challenging at the best of times. Also, based on your employer's conduct you may have a case for constructive dismissal. We would need more information to properly advise you on this matter. I would strongly suggest you call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who would be able to fully review the circumstances of your employment and provide you with further guidance/advice.
