Miserable Accountant
I used to love my job but ever since a colleague resigned last Nov2019, things just became crazy and is still going crazy!
Our manpower is small, 6 staffs, 2 liason officers, an admin and an IT. That was it. No other departments whatsoever. The colleague I mentioned, lets call her R, was a top employee and you could also say R was boss' favorite because she among the 6 of us had a board certification. She resigned because she wanted to work in the province she grew up. She submitted her resignation letter June 2019 but was able to leave Nov2019!
Our boss did not want R to leave so he tried to talk her out of it but she has decided. The talking and job endorsements took her 5months! As mentioned, she was a top employee so her accounts where big and difficult to deal with. I was still a junior that time but all of her accounts were passed on to me. R was a senior and I was a junior that time and I was like given 2wks to study everything! The other senior was pregnant so she could not absorb heavier and stressfull work load.
July2019 another colleague (C) resigned, same reason.
Dec2019 new colleague was hired (V).
Jan2020 another colleague (D) resigned due to health issues.
Mar2020 covid came. One of my colleagues (B) was nowhere to be found. She was not replying to any of our messages. We saw posts in her social media accounts but she was just not cooperating.
Our senior was on matrnity leave by Apr2020 so basically we were only 2 left, me and V. But I was the only one working for all of our company's clients from March to May 2020 as V's laptop was left in her apartment (we left for home in the province when covid started).
Jun2020, V submitted her resignation! Her parents wanted her to work in the province as well because of covid. Our boss wanted to keep her so they arranged a permanent work from home for her until they find a replacement.
Senior started working but for very few hours because of her baby. She still wants less stress. Also she said she'll be going to her province when airports clear up. And does not know when she will return to the office!
Since covid, our boss had been very lowkey because his wife took over the company. The management changed. Policies were revised. Schedules were revised. Everything was changed! The wife kept changing things far from what we used to do and the changes are not working so well for the clients . She also gets very angry when things dont go her way. One mistake and she goes mocking us like we're idiots!
I'm just so miserable you guys! I hate working! I get soooo anxious everytime my phone beeps or vibrates! I hate waking up to work! I hate the thought of work! Our boss is not even doing anything! And I bet if i pass my resignation letter, they'll for sure talk me out. And if I don't budge, they'll just make my life miserable pinpointing everything they see in my work until I can leave!
Advises please! :( I can answer questions if you have any :(

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
