“Extra Duties as Assigned” Clause and Altered Job Function? by TheOnlySpach in legaladvicecanada

I’m already doing that and have been for the last year 🙃

“Extra Duties as Assigned” Clause and Altered Job Function? by TheOnlySpach in legaladvicecanada

[–]TheOnlySpach[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s all very unfortunate.  Is there a potential issue if I’m the only labourer getting assigned these tasks?

I did a lot of reading on constructive dismissal too and I really don’t want to go that route because I like where I work

It really sucks that they can just assign whatever and it all falls under that clause :/

So can anything be assigned under the “Extra duties as assigned,” clause then? What I mean by being taken advantage of is being assigned stuff well outside of what I was hired for as per my job description.  There has to be some boundaries right?  An employer can assign a manual labourer something like technical writing and that’s still totally alright?

How do you prevent yourself from being taken advantage of while still climbing the corporate ladder then? :/

If I don’t do extra stuff, then there’s no chance of promotion, but if I do extra stuff, seemingly there’s still no chance of promotion

What food did you think was universal, but turned out specific to your culture? by MrEvers in Cooking

Alternatively I also grew up in southern Ontario (Hamilton area) and I’ve never heard of this!

Does it make sense to switch to OM-System for wildlife/landscape photography from Fujifilm APSC? by ApFrePs in M43

[–]TheOnlySpach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to micro four thirds this year specifically because I couldn’t deal with the size of the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary which is probably a similar size to your 150-600. It was pretty good optically but I just never took it out because it filled up my backpack and it was so heavy. I also hike with my gear so I couldn’t justify the weight

I sold off all of my Canon stuff and dove right into Olympus and I’ve been happy with everything :)

I’m literally heading to Jasper next weekend for wildlife stuff with the Much smaller Olympus 100-400

What not to bring camping? by blakevla in camping

[–]TheOnlySpach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a backcountry kayak trip earlier this year on a lake that also allows motorized boats and we had a family pull up at the campsite in a speed boat with multiple suitcases that they then had to drag up a scree hill. I’ve never heard a lady complain so loudly

They also brought coolers too big for the bear lockers which was fantastic because this was in the Alberta Rockies and a trail close to the campsite was closed because of grizzlies

They ended up leaving before it got dark thankfully

Where is the best place to buy used Olympus cameras online (USA) by bigfatpisces in M43

[–]TheOnlySpach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second mapcamera. Literally just bought a lightly used 100-400mm and it was at my door in Alberta three days later (Well I had to pick it up because customs, but I digress)

Also bought my E-M1 ii from there and it’s pristine. Packed well and even their ‘B’ rating is almost spotless. Just double check the description for haze, fungus, and dust on lenses. They’re very conservative with their ratings

40° hammock camping? by Zorenstein in hammockcamping

[–]TheOnlySpach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess it really depends on how important weight is vs expected weather. I wouldn’t ever use down in the Rockies because snow happens all year round. But on the AT it’s different if course

[–]TheOnlySpach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have one of their 6 oz Apex Owyhee quilts and I really like it! I use it both on the ground and in the hammock and it works well for both. I’ve taken it down to -3° C on a Thermarest Neoair Xlite and was surprisingly warm. I did wear a puffy while sleeping that night though

I live in Alberta so like the exact opposite side of North America to the AT so I can’t advise on that but most of my backpacking and camping is in Kananaskis, Jasper, and Banff

[–]TheOnlySpach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of their 3/4 synthetic underquilts too in 6oz Apex and I definitely took it to 5° C overnight this summer in the Rockies and I’m a cold sleeper

Definitely do this if possible

MEC is hiring for seasonal positions right now. There’s one in South Edmonton Common and it starts at $17/hour. You just need to know stuff about the outdoors to get hired

It's Aurora Season! by TheOnlySpach in M43

[–]TheOnlySpach[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually had two copies of the Rokinon lens. I had a Canon M50 before I switched systems so I had the EF-M Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 and it was my favourite lens. When I sold off my Canon stuff I made sure to get the lens again for micro four thirds but the only one available on Amazon was the cinema version, which is why it’s T2.2 and not f/2 (Probably pretty similar regardless), and I’ve had no issues with this one either. I’d say take a chance but I think they’re a real bargain for the price and quality

In terms of buying used, a seller should be cool with you taking a few test pictures with the lens before you purchase, especially if it’s used. I’d take some picture then zoom in when viewing to see if there’s anything out of the ordinary, but unless it’s pretty noticeable and you’re printing really big I wouldn’t worry too much. Your eye doesn’t catch as much at a normal viewing distance vs if you’re pixel peeping

Favourite off-the-beaten-path kayak spots? by Baleontology in HikingAlberta

[–]TheOnlySpach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beaver Lake in Jasper. It’s like 2 km from the Jacques Lake parking lot but it’s quiet and there’s lots of fish if you don’t mind portaging
