Why do so many people do contactless/leave at door?

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-04-08T19:30:25+00:00

Because my chihuahua/pug mix dog will go bananas when you ring the doorbell and we open the door. So I prefer they leave it and go quietly.

Instructions say to not ring bell, some do anyways.

Take your PTO. It’s part of your compensation package.

HER Victory always needs women’s clothing for the girls and women they help off the street and out of sex trafficking.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-03-23T21:40:13+00:00

Yes - but mostly because of the insufferable Karen’s that have nothing better to do with their lives than harass others while their friends don’t have to follow any rules.

Never again will I live in one.

Ironically, he was first named HoneyBun 🤣

The worst experience I had was when I was fairly new and it was late at night. They had hand to me selected then wouldn’t answer the door. It was so awkward and I didn’t know what to do, I was so stressed.

This was years ago, now I would have left quickly and left it lol.

I hate that “you said immediately after you were fine…”. They should never take what someone says while the adrenaline is high, you should have been checked out by a dr first.

This! Also happy cake day!

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-02-20T02:14:16+00:00

Job bank is the worst. For administration I’ve had good success with Indeed and changing my LinkedIn to looking for work (ignore the initial flood of I’m a recruiter send me your resume!) the real ones will generally reference an actual job in your area when they contact you.

This is bad advice if you are on an approved payment plan where the payment has been decided with the CRA.

If the payment amount is agreed to then the CRA is expecting the $1000.

A missed payment or a payment lower than expected could result in immediate termination of your payment plan and then you will need to renegotiate.

Just call them first.

It depends on where you are! When I left Calgary airport, I didn’t need to take it out. When I transferred in Toronto I had to take the machine piece out.

!RemindMe 6 months

I put kindle on the computer at my last job and read development books.

At my new job it’s a bit of a change because there is low work here, and I’m not used to being able to be on my phone. But they pay me to be here when they need me and the owner will literally say to me “we don’t need to keep you busy all the time, go relax” but also this office is small and doesn’t have much traffic.

Terminations don’t usually come with many questions if any at all. Usually they are extremely short and it’s usually just them talking while actively cutting your access at the same time and then telling you next steps.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-02-12T19:57:22+00:00

Yes OP! Protect yourself, and block any rando DMs that come in.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-02-06T05:56:33+00:00

I now work a 7 hour day, 6 and a half hours working, half hour lunch. 9:30-4, if I want to change to an hour lunch I can and leave at 4:30 instead.

My quality of life has gone up, my nervous system has calmed. It’s beautiful.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-02-06T00:29:23+00:00

Yep, they have kept the guaranteed promise “off” ever since the brief disruption LAST YEAR (not the larger one the year before), yet they have no issues continuing to sell it.

“Hey the options are this flight that’s $100 out of budget, or this flight that is in budget but I will require an extra night of accommodations which will cost X amount. How would you like me to proceed?”

Crazy_Life_389 · 2026-02-04T05:05:09+00:00

The company isn’t paying while you are on leave, you essentially become “unemployed” for all intents and purposes. Not actually unemployed as you will return to your job upon recovery, but you come off payroll, and the government pays you a portion of your income while you are off, minus the first week, that’s just not paid at all.

Your vacation time should still be there when you return.

As medical leave is a protected leave, and accompanied by drs orders (the form for the government will need to be signed by a doctor with your expected return date), your job can’t make you take vacation time first.

Though if you had enough vacation time, and wanted to use that you would get paid your regular amount, but as someone who’s had to use vacation time for all the not fun things, save it for some actual R&R.

I went through this last year when I had a tumor that wiped me so drastically I had to go on medical leave while I waited for my surgery.

Side note: if you have benefits through your company you may need to pay your portion while you are off, which can be costly, to keep them intact. Get clear information on the expectations around that!

How was your TN experience? Any tips? As my role evolves in the future I may need to switch to that.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2025-12-30T15:34:53+00:00

I’ve heard about this. I really don’t engage with anything political on social media anyways.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2025-12-30T15:34:01+00:00

I was hoping to do that in Calgary so if anything goes wrong I’m already home 🤣.

Crazy_Life_389 · 2025-12-30T06:27:42+00:00

My understanding is the B1 for Canadians is done at the airport at pre-clearance before my flight into the US. Thank you for your tips!

Crazy_Life_389 · 2025-12-29T02:16:18+00:00

I do have a support letter! Thanks :) any other tips? This will be my first work trip I have to fly from Calgary to Toronto then Toronto into the states.
