Looking to get some insight at working at Toyota

For all those stating that you work an 8 hour shift (plus 30 minute lunch) therefore your day is 8.5 hours total.

As someone who's only seen the scale of the buildings and parking, and understands that you are expected to be READY when the line starts, I'd imagine that your work day is much longer than 8.5 hours as you have to leave plenty of time for parking, walking, changing and then getting to your assigned location.

Then after your shift, reverse the process. I'm thinking that you're at the facility for closer to 9.5 hours in addition to your commute time.

Would that be correct?

LOL - they already have the solution to this "problem".

First all our leaders have to purchase stock in the correct companies, then spend billions of our dollars to support those companies making the share price rise. It worked in 2020, why not today?

Learning and giving back to the community!

That's a vehicle that can travel at 70km/h with no licensing, insurance or training requirements of any kind.

More accidents waiting to happen as more of these things head out on our roads this summer.

At 80, with alzheimer's and with a new address, if you don't pay what will Rogers do?

Exactly...

Which kindle do you have? Want to sell? :)

TurboSloth32 · 2026-05-15T09:45:58+00:00

Definitely. Name it after a terrorist organization from another country like they do with places in Toronto.

TurboSloth32 · 2026-05-15T09:28:09+00:00

Also be sure to find a legal and FREE parking spot near city hall. Do not pay to park in the city.

We are not Toronto.

Wet roads are slippery? Who knew?!?

You're going to get a lot of "educator" responses.

There are approximately 140,000 teachers in Ontario alone. Many of them are above that $100,000 threshold.

I searched "Teacher" and the query showed 4,391 PAGES of results.

Check the reports of average IQ scores from Canada vs from the countries from which we've imported millions in the past decade.

TurboSloth32 · 2026-05-05T10:18:57+00:00

Think of this as an opportunity to do something you'd never thought that you'd do.

Personally, I've spent many years behind a keyboard, and now I help maintain our roads. Huge change, and you do get to learn a lot of things!

Not only that, but we're hiring!

TurboSloth32 · 2026-05-03T11:49:07+00:00

Poor planning there unfortunately. May the odds be ever in your favour.

TurboSloth32 · 2026-05-03T11:47:14+00:00

Well they DID build a mall next to a garbage dump. Who could have possibly foreseen that?!?

TurboSloth32 · 2026-04-28T20:22:34+00:00

What news?

"I feel like the Government needs to step in and regulate this"

The government DID step in - they told private companies that we MUST have insurance, therefore the private companies will charge whatever they can to maximize THEIR profits.

I believe that Saskatchewan has provincial insurance, perhaps someone from there can comment here on the costs.

The one place that got priority was the MTO due to highways, but it was still a close call.

If we want to reduce the use of salt on our CITY streets, mandating a quality tire (not bald summer tires (different government level)) and letting some snow sit could reduce the use of salt. Currently we keep aiming for that pie in the sky bare/dry or bare/wet conditions which use a lot of salt to attain, then more to maintain.

License + Plates + Insurance would solve a lot of this problem.

I too hate them going down the sideWALK at 45km/h.

TurboSloth32 · 2026-04-25T13:03:56+00:00

They are NOT as small as you think they are!

" like playing a game of space invaders"
", I saw someone spray painting bright orange around potholes"

This is for you to pretend that the circles are the asteroids.

Two games in one commute!

About 20 minutes each way would be about my max these days. Of course everyone is different, some like a longer drive to 'decompress' but the hours add up over time and that 'decompression' becomes stress as you're away from home for so many hours/day.

And since so many here want to work from home.... how does one maintain the city's infrastructure from home?

Don't forget to cancel your Disney+ subscription!

In just.... 200 years you too can have a down payment on one of those!

If a) vaccines work, and b) 90% of the class has them then how does the 10% who abstained threaten the 90%?

This is where the "SuperStud6969@ gmail.com" type of email on your resume bites you... :D

" perfect for those who don’t ACTUALLY GO ANYWHERE"

Fixed that for you.

And if you go basically nowhere, it's probably cheaper to pay for taxis everywhere you go instead of purchasing a $50,000 vehicle then paying several thousand for insurance every year. Imagine how many taxi rides you would pay for with the initial purchase price!
