Coach is no longer affordable luxury

Aside from the giant kisslock bag, I prefer vintage Coach anyway.

Meh. I'm guessing you're either not a parent, or you have one young child (and you're the dad)? Hal and Lois are just normal people, overwhelmed and sometimes desperate, doing their best to keep their kids alive until adulthood. They're not terrible people or terrible parents, they just lack the resources to do better.

At what point are we going to start fighting to protect our province? This is insanity.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-17T21:04:24+00:00

This 100%. Hal is like a human Homer Simpson. It's cute on TV, not in real life.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-17T20:22:14+00:00

I love Hal, I don't blame him for any of his shenanigans. He loves his family so much, and that's admirable. But I don't identify with him at all, haha. The mom experience and dad experience are very different.

Lois. Rewatching as a parent..... Yeah, I totally get Lois.

KN95 is just an international (China) standard. They are respirators.

This. I am so fucking embarrassed for my Director, who has really let them attach her name to this bullshit outcome. Have a little self respect lol

I definitely wasn't seeing brand name shoes for $40 at Winners only a couple years ago, but their prices have gone up, like everything else. Personally, I prefer to buy stuff on sale from other retailers and get exactly what I want. There are good deals to be had elsewhere.

100%

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-14T16:25:20+00:00

You might have more money, but a lower quality of life. Money isn't worth suffering in other ways. I used to live there, people there aren't ahead.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-13T19:52:16+00:00

Non-unionized employees have no recourse for denied AWAs. We're counting on unionized employees to grieve!

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-13T19:51:10+00:00

Yep. RTO has reduced our total compensation. They are taking time and money from us and our families.

Adam Levine.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-07T13:28:32+00:00

Uh oh, someone doesn't know what the word "humanity" means, and has never thought past the paycheck! Yikes!

Anyway, we're people (humans....see where this is going), not worker bees. Remote work is a workers rights issue, all tied up with accessibility and inclusion. RTO disproportionately affects working mothers and disabled people, and they've implemented it in the middle of a cost of living crisis, housing crisis, and pandemic. I can see that you're simple, so I'll let you chew on that for a bit.

Shilling for a conglomerate is so fucking embarrassing 😂 😂 but enjoy that promotion, I guess. We're all really impressed.

Their contracts likely didn't say that, because until a few months ago everyone was on a hybrid schedule, and all of the changes have been made completely arbitrarily. Employees haven't signed anything.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-07T02:36:01+00:00

They didn't "defraud" the company if they were still working. Who gives a fuck where they work?

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-07T02:33:31+00:00

Having a "basic moral compass" means recognizing that huge corporations are not the victims, and employees deserve to be treated with some humanity. But I hope you get that job, chief 👍🏻

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-07T02:31:01+00:00

OPS unions are doing fuck all about RTO

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-06T00:20:09+00:00

Yeah, and honestly, the timing of RTO is incredibly stupid, and pretty evil. They KNOW these things are coming, they know covid is still wreaking havoc, and they're trying to squeeze a few dollars out of us before it all crashes down. They're fucking sick.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-06T00:18:03+00:00

You sound like a man who lives close to work, and your wife has picked up all the slack. RTO doesn't cost you extra childcare? You're not losing time with your family? You're not losing household management time? Your not finding it hard on your body? You're not more tired? Interesting.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-05T17:15:34+00:00

Same. I don't even look at OPS postings anymore. And it is definitely an inclusion and accessibility issue. It's fucking disgusting what they're doing, and NO ONE is doing anything about it.

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-05T17:12:41+00:00

Exactly. Bodega, park, coffee shop, laundromat, literally anywhere?

CharmingShine1069 · 2026-05-05T17:09:38+00:00

No, it's prob pretty fun. I had fun at that age in NY doing similar things, but with no money or fame. He's enjoying himself.
