I like to make lists and cross off. Sometimes seeing everything you have to do sparks action. Or create fake deadlines and convince yourself they are real. Or procrastinate long enough that someone else has to deal with it. That’s what I do at home when I don’t want to do something!

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?
