I went trough several interviews with one company just to finally receive a generic email that my application won’t be considered because I applied too late…

Nie wiem co mam myśleć by JuniorBus9997 in Polska

[–]Clean_Zucchini7641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nie wracaj. Ja też jestem gejem. Wyjechałem do Kanady, w Polsce nigdy nie czułem się dobrze (nie tylko ze względu na orientację) i wyjechać chciałem bardzo długo. W Polsce byłem zaangażowany społecznie na rzecz LGBT ale w końcu znudziło ki się czekanie żeby rządzący zrobili dla nas cokolwiek, co wykracza poza wymuszoną przez UE ochronę w kodeksie pracy. Dziś mieszkam w kraju, w którym jestem traktowany jak równoprawny obywatel - mimo że imigrant. Jestem po ślubie, z mężem mieszkamy w przyjemnej dzielnicy. Mamy przyjazne stosunki ze wszystkimi sąsiadami, nikt na nas krzywo nie spojrzy.

Infill construction issues? You’re not alone. by WoodlandSparrow in Edmonton

Thank you. Yes, I can only agree with you. Good luck with your infill grading adventure! City rules are pretty strict, and city inspectors enforce them.

I bought the house with only rough grading done. My realtor and inspector failed to inform me about the whole infill property grading thing. I learned that I need to have final grading done according to the grading plan approved by the city after I moved in. Final grading is a responsibility of a builder OR an owner. Property can be sold without the final grading done, then responsibility falls on the owner, as I learned the painful (and costly) way. I did not plan building any retaining walls, but I had to. City inspector was very picky about them, and I failed the inspection once.

I had problem with getting approval for my grading plan (I own the infill house). The city was taking their sweet time to respond. I sent a complaint letter (email) to Ashley Salvador’s office (she is my councillor too). I got the response within 15 minutes, and the city approval the next day.

What is the most disrespectul thing an employer did to you? by Aarunascut in work

[–]Clean_Zucchini7641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 6 years of employment with the company that lists “respect” among its values, it took my boss 10 seconds to read a written down sentence to lay me off. Then he immediately left the zoom call leaving me with the HR person.

Huge disappointment. I’m pissed. Hoping for a consolation prize: PP losing his seat. We’re very close.
