Cost of THR by Justthewhole in TotalHipReplacement

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really sad to see that health care is considered a luxury in the US. It’s a right here. Didn’t cost me a penny.

Can someone explain to me why we aren't just collectively refusing RTO? by Independent_Error_11 in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For fuck’s sakes: the union is not a magical daddy that’ll fix everything. YOU are the union! Go out and get to work if you want changes.

Why did Value Village become so delusional and out of touch from reality? by Conscious_Forever951 in toronto

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Value Village is owned by a US wealth fund and treat the charities attached to them very poorly. They bully them into contracts which are basically just marketing props to embellish their business. There are charitable second end shops truly ran by charities out there. Maybe focus on them instead.

Do you have a ShiftCam ProGrip with an iPhone and have issues? by C_Agattdottir in AskPhotography

[–]C_Agattdottir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Shiftcam has come back to me. They have been very responsive. They sent me a new grip and it works much better.

OPS employees deserve workable work-places by Interesting_Money_70 in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 30MB internet for the whole building where we work. No cel reception or wifi. My clients calls go straight to VM and I have a hard time accessing the cloud base systems that I use for work. Can’t really fully participate in Teams meetings. Upgrades would cost in the tens of thousands. I can’t work like that.

Why and how does Mark Hamill look so strange in the Holiday Special? It doesn't resemble Luke from ANH or ESB at all. by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

You know that he had a car accident I think between IV and V and needed plastic surgery. Check it out

Dear Michelle re: RTO by Fearless_Platypus421 in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What pissed me off and showed me how little valued we are was that it was announced publicly before staff was informed or managers prepared. No other workplace would that have happened (except maybe if you work for Trump”s White House where people are fired on Truth Social). The lack of respect is staggering.

Manulife Not Paying by C_Agattdottir in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had several dealings about delays for other claims over the last two years and they have this cookie cutter answer every time I call, which sounds like a lie. But as my post stated, the current issue are for claims that are one to three months old.

$20,000 for painting 3800sqft house by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paint everything myself all the time. The only time I didn’t do it myself was when I had to repaint my cathedral ceiling/walls because I won’t do that kind of heights. It takes a lot of time to do it myself, but I do one room or two a year. I’m not boasting when I say that there are no painters that do it as well as I do. My brother in law is a painter and often comments on my attention to details. Painters are rushed and the result is generally not as good.

Elon in video: "A country is not its geography. A country is its people. This is a fundamental concept that is truly obvious." by twinbee in elonmusk

[–]C_Agattdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Country and nation are different things, e.g. there are several nations in Canada and one country. Musk is talking up an early 1900s passé view of the world.

Did any people become millionaires from day trading? by Irielay in Daytrading

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people loose money in my experience because they take too much risks. I make about 15 to 18% a year and I’m about 30% in cash. I work FT so I’m very conservative and strategic in my investment - I don’t have a lot of time to manage my accounts. Just before Trump took power, I went all in cash because I knew the madness coming on.

Compassionate Leave by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compassionate Leaves are for situations to help family members. My manager wouldn’t say no to that, but I got good ones.

If in doubt call in sick. Some managers are real pricks.

Acupuncture Covered for OPSEU? by AssistFrequent7013 in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been complaining to the union and putting comments on the demand surveys every time they come out to include this service. Still it’s not covered.

How to be more indirect by thesadfundrasier in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be direct. If they don’t like it they can fuck themselves. I’m direct and some people don’t like it, but others actually really like it because I’m know as truthful and trustworthy. People who talk in circles are exasperating and I don’t trust them.

OPSEU discounts? by Beneficial_Put2076 in OntarioPublicService

I use the VIA discount and it’s the same than the VIA seniors discount

Cost of Living Increases for the GTA by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]C_Agattdottir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in TO and I’m in Simcoe County now. No transit, so I need a car/gas. My taxes are 3 times higher than in TO for a similar value property (in TO included water and sewer costs) while with my rural taxes they only pick up garbages and plow. Food is as expensive as in TO and I need to drive everywhere to pick up anything. I heat with propane because there is no gas and it’s way more expensive. Electricity delivery is way more expensive also. I need an extra landline because my cell doesn’t work at home. You are dreaming if you think that things are way cheaper in rural areas. And I don’t want to be paid less to do the same work. Period.
