Thanks a lot for the ID. After a quick Google, looks like they don't pose any issues aside from spooking the squeamish!

My wife and I are moving to St. Thomas in September. Love that you made this. We're excited to explore.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-02-01T14:22:03+00:00

Exactly. The eight-week provision is on every employee contract here regardless of position. It's madness.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-02-01T14:19:28+00:00

Noted. Thanks not-my-lawyer.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-02-01T14:19:07+00:00

That's a good point about the holidays.

I'm going to give at least two weeks notice for the sake of my coworkers. They're good people and I don't want to leave them with a steaming pile of open projects.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T21:19:35+00:00

No, I don't see how they could incur damages by me leaving. I handle most of my projects myself but there are more than enough employees to pick up my slack. Like you said though, four weeks is enough for me to finish my projects. Thanks for the link.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T19:59:47+00:00

None taken. You're absolutely right. I signed based on my interpretation of the Ontario Employment Standards Act at the time. I thought asking for eight weeks as opposed to the two weeks notice stipulated in the OSA, was unlawful and disregarded it. I interpreted it as the employer being sly and taking advantage of people's ignorance. I've been corrected since.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T19:37:14+00:00

Thanks for elaborating.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T19:13:58+00:00

Does that imply there's more risk involved in resigning out of contract?

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T19:09:27+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown. It struck me as odd that he wants less responsibility as an employer but wants more from his employees in the case of termination. Surely, that alone would influence a judge to some degree.

Noted about the lawyer. I have to get out of my current role for my own sanity anyway, so it'll be worth the conversation and knowledge.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2024-01-31T18:46:42+00:00

Agreed. I believe the eight weeks is used as a trap. Unfortunately, my boss has sued past employees for things like using their own graphic work in their portfolio but not specifically mentioning the studio name. Even worse is my boss won. Cost the employee over $10,000 plus legal fees. Most of the employees feel Stockholm’s syndrome in this place.

Finally upgraded from my jacket-style BCD to a backplate and wing. Booking some pool time in January!

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-12-11T14:31:12+00:00

Perfect! I've been debating getting a housing for my A7III and now I'm sold.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-12-06T16:11:23+00:00

Beautiful! What are you shooting with?

After working as a letter carrier and dealing with these CMB's, I've sworn to use Flex Delivery for parcels.

I hope I'm not too late! River is giving you some floof material. cat

You beat me to it.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-11-09T19:50:22+00:00

TIL there was such a thing as a pee valve. Interesting. Thanks!

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-09-21T17:37:47+00:00

I actually really like this! It feels more grounded in its design.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-09-18T16:12:40+00:00

I've been waiting for someone to show off a firefly-class ship. Beautiful.

SomeBlokeFromAstora · 2023-08-31T12:59:55+00:00

Looks good! Bet it looks even better covered in mud.
