This past July my father passed. 2 weeks later my wife passed. Before she passed she wanted to go home. I was job searching for something that could bring out family home...nothing. I'm now in a toxic work environment. Everyone is scared. 3 fired. 2 retired suddenly. 1 quit with nothing to go to. Several of us are looking for other employment but this job market to be frank sucks. I'm at my does end and don't know what to do.

Just venting.

I hope things start getting better. So many losses with a terrible job makes things much harder. I lost a best friend, cat, will lose my home and car next month, life can be brutal.
