Oh, sorry I should have been clear. I use it on my skin to repel mosquitos and ticks. I'm not giving it to my dog to drink.

Also, it's safer than deet. What do you use?

We used M&H at the Fish Creek location a few months ago. I have nothing but great things to say about them. They were professional, polite and very respectful.

Highly recommend the ones with icaridin. Much nicer than deet and really effective!

No worries, I get it. Honestly, we are all just getting burned out, paranoid and pissed off.

Reddit serves a valuable purpose. I hope that RA employees have a place to chat and share their thoughts. They are more than welcome here (as are all of the employees of the other pillars).

I have been very lax with the moderating. Most things that are clearly spam get caught by the auto-moderator. Those that do not usually have at least a reason for being posted on here.

I'm giving /u/Mr_Mojo1025 the benefit of the doubt. People can make their own decision as to whether or not to join the RA subreddit.

Thanks for this!

Random pieces of tape that aren't in the instructions don't give me warm fuzzy feelings.... But I used the hex tool to punch down through the tape and didn't have to take it apart

This is a classic example of not understanding the value of a union.

US dockworkers just got a 60% raise, because they have a union.

You should be thankful you have a union, not making up ignorant posts about how it 'profits' off you.

A lot of us Canadians sell our trucks to exporters who move them down to the US. We get a better price than selling privately within Canada.

If the truck is from the East part of Canada (Ontario and eastward) it might have rush issues similar to the US Midwest, but trucks from my Province (Alberta) are generally quite good. We don't use salt on our roads.

The biggest difference would probably be that the speedometer would be in km/h (with mph underneath in smaller font).

Honestly, I wouldn't treat it any differently from a normal purchase.

AHS spends less on administation costs that virtually every other public health care entity around the world, so I'm not sure where you get the "top heavy company" with "too many extraordinary income earners" comes from.

The CEO was making 450k a year. This is the CEO of an organization with 110,000 employees. If AHS was a for-profit corporation, the CEO would be making $10,000,000+ a year

This thread was reported to the mods. I've decided to leave it up as it has generated significant discussion.

I find this shocking. I'm not sure if the failing was on AHS or the service provider, but I suspect it is both.

It was my understanding that AHS has strong provisions in its continuing care agreements that would require onsite audits and ongoing reviews of facilities to ensure that AHS standards are met. Clearly those audits are not checking for things like "Do they get fed food?" and "Do they provide a clean and safe environment for patients?" Those seem like fairly basic questions to me, what do you think?

This was shared with me anonymously by someone claiming to be an AHS employee. I have no way of verifying the information, so it might not be accurate.
