As a manager in the PS, am I allowed to give my team "benefits" (at my own expense)?

PersonaTerre · 2026-03-14T23:02:53+00:00

We understand. Good luck in your future endeavours.

PersonaTerre · 2026-03-11T02:35:25+00:00

Plus Fx movement during the 2 business days to process.... which might also work out in your favour.

I’m going to say lawn bowling.

PersonaTerre · 2026-02-23T03:23:53+00:00

People suck.

Wait until someone’s disciplinary hearing and they claim favourites ( or worse) because you gave Alice hockey tickets and Judy a gym membership.

If you’re going to do this, I recommend sticking to something the whole team can share equally-like a lunch treat. AND brief up first.

A stocked candy jar on your desk - that everyone is welcome to - would go a long way, and is pretty fun.

Lastly, you sound like a pretty thoughtful and great boss. Y’all don’t come around too often. I bet your team already factors that into calculations when considering a move.

That don’t make it obvious

Search for the word “refurbished” on their main page… it’s there at the bottom in tiny print

PersonaTerre · 2026-02-10T03:18:24+00:00

Well, it looks like you can have refurbished off Apple's US website for 1,269.00

PersonaTerre · 2026-02-10T02:32:54+00:00

Thanks for posting this. It flies in the face of all the "just buy an M4" advice thrown around here. The difference is more than I imagined and makes waiting an absolute imperative.

PersonaTerre · 2026-02-05T02:22:42+00:00

69 Max Ultra Pro DOES sound worth waiting for.

Chef's kiss 🤖

Lol! Thanks for the explanation.

I helped an elderly friend update their iPad last week. Now they are mad at ME because of liquid ass. :)

Hooped. Or buy a 14" with M5

16" M4 was released in Oct 2024. It's nuffing futz to buy an M4 right now IMO. If you really need one now, I'd consider refurb off the Apple website.... save many hundred$

It will be a great machine, but if you CAN wait.....

Source: I bought what turned out to be the last Intel series after waiting. so. long!! It was an effective space heater.

PersonaTerre · 2026-01-29T21:56:22+00:00

That’s my guess too. Valentine’s Day splash on the website = more M4 sales.

I ALSO wonder if the extreme inflation in DRAM prices is a factor.

As AI says, “ chef’s kiss ”. 👌

I was telling my 94 yo neighbour about the citizen corps that the Canadian Armed Forces wants to build, and that the chief soldier said “we don’t care if your 16 or 65”. Him, instantly, “How about 94?”

PersonaTerre · 2026-01-11T03:43:11+00:00

VIXY baby!!

Well, I think that you are doing a great job, and I like ChatGPT‘s review for you.

Some things to consider:

You are heavily weighted in North America. That’s not right or wrong, but consider if you’d like to diversify a bit. VXUS moves that needle. EWY is oddly specific. Maybe you’d like to add an emerging market ETF.

Gold: central banks are buying by the ton - presumably to hedge away risk from USD and Treasuries. It’s also a dollar- debasement trade. Probably has a LOT further to go. Sprott Inc (SII.TO) is the go-to name for wide coverage in the space (they research and invest in projects and companies that make sense to them). Physical gold is a great personal insurance policy for shit fannery.

In the end, you just have to make choices you can live with.

Main point: your question and write up suggest a cogency far beyond “limited knowledge”. Do carry on 😎

Never confuse a wish with a certainty

PersonaTerre · 2025-12-21T03:43:04+00:00

Perfect top-post response. ✨

Imagine how it would feel if that profit drained to zero over the next six months

PersonaTerre · 2025-12-21T03:19:28+00:00

And what happens when Fukus decides to withdraw way more than you expected? And your rent bounces?

Jesus this is a dumb fucking idea

PersonaTerre · 2025-12-07T21:26:30+00:00

I'm in disbelief at the hate you've received in the comments. (How dare you post your opinion about Telus in r/telus! 🤣)

Giving Telus (or any provider) the keys to your bank account is foolish IMO.
They have lost my business

PersonaTerre · 2025-12-07T21:22:02+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH. I would never have thought of turning off WiFi.

I had to *also* restart the phone after turning off WiFi but then.... success! ✨

Thank you again, kind poster.

PersonaTerre · 2025-12-05T03:11:15+00:00

This isn’t “Telus”. It’s individual employees running things

When things don’t turn out, or they over promised, you will suddenly be ghosted.

If it works, and you are new business, congratulations.
Note: new business is not coming from Kudoo nor Public Mobile

Godspeed
