If at all possible, don't burn any bridges in this business, but if you absolutely will never work for them again, then just quit. There are good companies out there.

I'm there with you and what's sad is I'm in my late 20s and feel so disappointed in myself I cried myself to sleep this morning. How sad is that? All over stress about no work/no money, etc. Married with 3 kids and a mortgage now, how in the world can I afford to go back to do something different?
don't burn your bridges
happened to me too. there were six of us, they kept one. they kept telling us, don't worry. our job then ended. my advice, don't burn your bridges. i know you are angry. tell them you will be there for them in case it doesn't work, you will edit for them, etc. in my case, they tried their new system or whatever the hell it was and it didn't work. they hired be back to edit and eventually to transcribe again.
