I'm confused about why she stayed? It doesn't say she ever got any money back. I would be gone after the first 0$ check, why would you stay after that?

[faeriechangling]

She was working for the Canadian government, not shady joe’s fix-it shop, and thus likely thought the issue would be resolved long term.

Plus I’m guessing she was on a defined benefit pension, creating an incentive to stay.

Also, she was still being billed taxes after 3 years after being axed... for pay she never received!

I’d imagine it’s harder to come by jobs out there, and she had a reasonable belief that the gov would eventually pay her.

Jobs, especially these kinds of jobs, are scarce in Newfoundland.

I'm sure if she had options for other employment, she would have taken them. Even when working for CRA, she was only a seasonal contractor.

She stayed probably for the lack of other opportunities and the hope the government would get their crap together.
