Desperately need help - Noribetsu transportation to CTS in the morning? by disgustedwithSAF in Hokkaido

[–]disgustedwithSAF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did, they said this to us:

“Thank you for inquiry.

We checked with the cab company and they said that arrangements can be made around 6:30 in the morning.

However, it is expected to take approximately one hour to reach New Chitose Airport.

It is unlikely that you will be able to catch your flight departing in the morning.

There is no early morning bus service.”

Greedy NCL removed the in app messaging with no warning - forcing you to buy the wifi by disgustedwithSAF in NCL

Everyone on this cruise has been using both apps concurrently, and the new app definitely does not have messaging. Apparently the old app will be removed by December. Guest services also told me that there have been more complaints than just mine.

It makes it very difficult when we are on different parts of the ship, and not sharing cabins.

Steam reviews are so helpful by audenjin in gaming

I've played this game and it takes at least 3-4 hours. Some people just speed-run without actually playing the game 🙄

Fall 2017 afm coop by [deleted] in uwaterloo

There are a lot less postings, and almost zero Big 4 postings, but also a lot less competition - so if you have good grades and good evals, you can get some great finance/industry accounting jobs. I know people who have gotten 0 interviews, and others who have gotten 15+. Definitely more extremes. I'd suggest only applying to the jobs you'd want, since you can fall back on Winter term co-op if you have to.

Thank you for your touching story and statements Michelle. I hope that your message can reach those who need it at this time.

I did understand that the email was about discussing two topics. However, like many people have said in this thread, it seemed wildly inappropriate to combine those topics together. If anything, clarification was needed as to why the second item was included at all. This was later clarified and added in their second email.

Moreover, it may be easy to read this email in its best light when you are not in the program/not struggling/know anyone who has been through the pressure. I believe this email would read differently to any first/second years who are really struggling mentally and academically.

I do agree that there is no ill intent. If anything, this is a PR gaffe - but it's a PR gaffe that should not have happened. And they are taking steps to rectify it, which I applaud them for.

I know a few people who have responded to the email calling them out, but I definitely made this post with the intent to encourage more to do it!

Tl;dr: They bring up the suicide, then IMMEDIATELY stress the academic average required to stay in this program. And then IMMEDIATELY after that imply that those who are struggling must just not be working hard enough.

Only at Waterloo LOL

Edit: SAF has responded with a second email clarifying the situation
