I have a meeting tomorrow morning with a mediator and representatives from my old company with my lawyer tomorrow.

I'm trying to get my job back since they fired me in response to bringing up issues of abusive behaviour in the workplace. They are trying to get me to back down and disappear.

I have mixed feelings. A part of me wants my job back. The act itself would spit in the face of the general manager who is rotten to his very core.

The other part of me thinks I've done enough damage and can safely call it quits by taking a money offer. I exposed to corporate just how awful management at my company was and in response to my firing, corporate has forced several costly updates to work flow practices at the company, cracked down hard on all the unsafe work practices, refused to represent them in my labour board reprisal claim and forced the HR manager to retire ahead of her scheduled retirement plant (I assume, it's convenient she retired a month after my claim was officially filed and not in 2024 as scheduled).

Tomorrow I'll have to pick my battle carefully. As much as I'd love to drag this company to the human rights tribunal, I'm also pretty tired and should consider taking the wins I already achieved.

Bureaucracy is fucking lame.
