I’m completely out of the loop.

    Sorry but that sounds like bullshit. There is no logical sequence of actions leading from “your employer being an asshole” into “you having to slash your leg open” which wouldn’t first pass through “handing in your notice”. Unless you are a literal slave.

      If you are in enough mental distress self harm starts looking like a real good idea as an excuse to not go to work. Of course it’s not logical or reasonable. It’s a reaction to stress. It’s an irrational intrusive thought.

      If I hadn’t experienced something similar I would feel a little skeptical. :(

        But honestly, explain how this makes sense please. Why would anyone physically harm themselves to be able to stay with a company that’s apparently filled with assholes anyway. Money? There’s no paycheck large enough to make me slash my leg for it (edit: well, of course not none whatsoever…but nothing within an order of magnitude of a realistic salary). And surely unemployment benefits must be a thing in Canada too to keep you alive while looking for another job (in case you really feel you have to leave before finding something else).
