After a final straw ordeal, I'm thinking of quitting my job as an admin assistant and focusing on something more related to my major. I studied English but then got into admin (which I've been doing for years) and now I really want a change. I'm in my mid 40s so I don't know how far I'll go but does anyone have careers they want to share? What about starting fresh in your 40s?

I work as a casual employee through a school board. I was on a long term assignment where I was supposed to be trained on one thing but instead told to file. I also didn't get a proper ergo computer set up. I did strain my neck and shoulder pretty badly, so I reached out to HR about it who suggested I make a WSIB claim. I did so, hoping for coverage for any physio I needed. Yesterday, I got an email from HR saying I need to go to a meeting regarding my poor performance at the long term assignment (now ended) and I need to bring my CUPE rep. They don't seem happy at all. I feel like I made a huge mistake and shouldn't have filed this. Now I'm worried I'm going to find out at this meeting that I'm either getting fired or blacklisted. Is there anything I can do?

As the title says, and really not sure what to do. I've tried to tell them to leave my kids alone but they won't . They've started playing head games, pretending to be nice but making fun of them behind their backs and making up stories. I would speak to the parents but I'm nervous because they might just be mean back to me. Anyone deal with this? What made things better? Thank you.
