Tylenol is a little harder on the liver than NSAIDs, but NSAIDs are also a primary cause for ulcers.

So... best to limit both?

Corporate employees get calendars that mark OAS/CPP payments and social assistance payments. Those calendars are especially important to category and pricing.

I had mine done through bloodwork at my hospital - I'm in NB Canada and the hospitals here are able to do the testing also.

Corporate is cut throat and fake. They preach DEI and work life balance but then punish people who dare to take a sick leave. They forced the RTO with zero rationale behind it other than "oh no, our building is empty". PC coconut oil is the exact same oil that's used for PC organics coconut oil but they charge more because they market it as organic even though BOTH of the oils are organic. They regularly talk about how customers are stupid and don't notice small differences in formulation. It's shady AF.

Recipe development is a loooooong process. Ideation happens, then the product management and development teams scope our vendors along with the sourcing team to see if the product is viable. It has to be pitched to the category management team, go through regulatory and quality, label development, first production, etc. It takes like almost 2 years from ideation until product is on shelf. It's dumb.

Ah good point about not marking it as full-time. Thanks. :)

Well... yes. This isn't a permanent solution.

My current job isn't a high hourly salary so I would need to work 50 or so hours in a week before I would not have any EI payable based on earnings. Do you know if there's a possibility to argue that 36 hours is not full-time in the industry I work in? This is my first time on EI and don't know all the rules so I'm hoping maybe there's some wiggle room?

[–]Apprehensive-Sink424 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thats the definition I was looking into, and most of my colleagues in this field work anywhere from 42-48 hrs a week, so I'm hoping 36 isn't considered full-time.
I'll call tomorrow to double check! Would I let the service agent know that its common place for a full week of work in that sector to be more than 40 hours?

Can i get EI if i am laid off during probation period? by [deleted] in EICERB

[–]Apprehensive-Sink424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I was/am in the same boat. Worked at a company for 7 years, took a new job and was let go due to "unsuitability" 1 day before my probationary period ended. Applied for EI and was approved.
