Thanks for the suggestions @Songbird76 !

And I honestly would need 2 months of pay before I can jump ship.
I'm moving to Canada to study and visit.
If I can get a job earlier (wish me luck, I have one interview at 5:00 pm today) I will move earlier as well.


And yes, it seems that the boss explicitly wanted to just get out of this company.
Ironically I found suspicious one line where he proudly said about his "entrepreneur spirit" and how many of "his business failed and how many he created to move forward in his success."
So I guess he just leapfrogs to new companies while he lets the ones he knows are failing( or not worth his effort) to become dumpsters fires that end crash and burning.

Ironically, my job is salaried. He shouldn't be able to pull this stunt. I do not get paid by hour. I get paid flat per month for doing whatever he wants for a X/Y time frames (as long its in my scope. I can't do surgeon jobs for example).
But he consistently (on convenience, this is the 4th time) where he wants me to obtain my money by billing my work time to someone else not of the company. Which makes no sense as most of my work used to be managerial stuff, account and system IT management, support/help, first contact, leads..etc.. which are internal project tasks.

As for going around the clients. I would, but these are multi people projects. I'm the QA guy while there is a developer.
Now they want me to be first contact, project manager, dealer and QA at same time with the posibility of not getting paid of anything, since this needs to be billed to the client and needs to be on a budget. And by experience in this company... they somehow have missed/passed the budget many times.

I could try freelancing I guess, but its not as easy as it seems. Almost every company I know in the tech industry... wants someone they can see, attest and be available at will.

Something that I have gotten annoyed from some of the work offers I have tried in the past (Example: They wanted me to be all day available, not work for someone regardless if its a ghosttown, and that they could only pay me the active work hours).

Well see what life has to give me.

Good luck with the interview! I really hope you get it! Or that you find an alternative. Anything to get you out of the current situation!

Pixie dust and good wishes for your interview. It sure would leave you in a better position to tell your current boss where he can put his non paying job.

Interview completed.

It went.. decent I think.
But it was obvious that the employee that interviewed me was not in a position to offer me the open job for a VISA.
So she's going to check with me for when I move to Canada (aka when I have the student permit).

The good side:

  1. Person was inderstanding of me being partially deaf but I could understand everything and she seemed to understand me.
  2. She loved my photos.
  3. The job is retail on a medium-large store with computers, cameras, tvs.. etc.. aka my usual heaven.
  4. Person was already asking for a second online future interview depending on one assessment.
  5. Most likely it will be going forward by September for when I start studying in Canada (easiest way).
The bad side:

  1. Some hesitation regarding of using the CUSMA.
  2. Well see, I had many interviews seem go well just to get a NO later on.

The pickle is a tradition I didn't learn about until I had kids in the Midwest. My very good friend couldn't believe I didn't have a pickle. Santa hides it on the tree, and whoever finds it, gets a special present. Of course, more years than not, Santa forgot to hide it. Didn't stop the kids, though. I never realized how competitive the 2 were, until those mornings. Amazing the tree never got knocked over.

I knew about the pickle tradition growing up due to my dad's parents had it on their tree. It is not a tradition for my parents, my younger brother and I for our Christmas trees though.
