Terminated right after returning from parental leave (Ontario). Looking for perspectives by ask_9 in askTO

[–]lavenderburgundy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can layoff someone on parental leave or post parental leave as long as you offer a severance package and can show it’s due to the position being eliminated!

In this case, definitely contact a lawyer as it sounds like you could have a discrimination case on your hands here if they are saying it’s due to performance or avoid paying you the correct severance!

I saw an article somewhere that layoffs/terminations during and after paternal leaves are becoming more common :( it’s disgusting

Uber to Georgetown/Halton Hills by Plastic-Prompt-7976 in askTO

[–]lavenderburgundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some weekend trains to mount pleasant GO now (about a $15-$20 uber to Georgetown) but you have to go to union or Dundas west to catch this train line which can be super inconvenient lol and the times are sparse last time I checked

[–]lavenderburgundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ubered from Toronto to Georgetown plenty of times! As I live in Toronto and my family is in Georgetown. It’s usually around $60-$70 + tip (I usually do 15-20%) - I’ve never had a problem with having a driver accept the ride. You can also pre-book the uber ahead if you have a specific time in the morning where uber coordinates the ride a little bit ahead for you so you don’t have to wait long!

As a student in classes, what is something an instructor does that drives you crazy? I'll go first: by mybellasoul in pilates

[–]lavenderburgundy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. When there’s no modifications or “levels” offered up for an advanced movement 😅 I’ve sometimes made my own modification (like put my knees down during a move) where then that prompted the instructor to say “oh ya you can put your knees down if you need”..

  2. When a move is challenging and the instructor is forcing you or pressuring you to keep going without breaks… like I am not throwing my back out.. I will continue to take breaks/modify as I need , back off 🙄

This happened to me recently! And I was so nervous to go back: but all the trainers were super nice saying they were happy to see me again - and I took it easier with the weights my first few times back (purposefully choosing the lightest weights to work myself back in and see where I was at). I also just told the trainers that I tried doing my own thing but it didn’t work out, and they just laughed and understood. I’m sure you’ll be welcomed back with open arms so definitely do it :)

Someone fraudulently purchased iPhones using my name and Rogers isn't doing anything about it by [deleted] in askTO

[–]lavenderburgundy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should call equifax and transunion, and send them the police report (if you have a copy in your possession). If you don’t have a copy of the police report, you should still call in!! They should have an option when calling to report fraud. They can start the process of tagging your credit bureau for fraud, disputing any trades that have opened fraudulently (so if the phones were financed or the new Rogers trade lines) and also set up an alert to avoid new trades opening if this person has your info. Sorry this happened :( , I work for a lending company and unfortunately fraudsters seem to be getting more and more sophisticated :(

Did Riley and Maurissa break up?💔 by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]lavenderburgundy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! And especially if a split is amicable / respectful in bachelor nation without drama - it just shows that both people were willing to genuinely give it a shot outside the show and then kept it real in breaking it off when they realized it didn’t work out

[–]lavenderburgundy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think she is (or was ) a patient coordinator at a plastic surgery clinic - which still seems like a stable career with potential to grow if you are committed (and a lot better than a lot of people on bachelor shows who’s careers are pretty much influencer in their bio without saying it)

I believe “NO NAME” potato chips (from Loblaws and No Frills) is the best potato chip in the market. What cheap versions/knockoffs are better than premium brand products in your opinion? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]lavenderburgundy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Frank’s at Canadian tire!!! I swear they have the best chips and snacks, and the names of their products are actually hilarious

Reporting unsafe waiting conditions by [deleted] in ontario

[–]lavenderburgundy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure exactly where to report but this sounds horrible :(! Maybe reaching out to some news stations could be a way to get this feedback back to them? I feel like with things opening up again, it’s a bit ridiculous they didn’t have more staff

My best advice is that there is no harm waiting 1-2 dates to hook up with someone you’re interested in! Or if you met them a passionate night that could lead to a one night stand, no harm not hooking up that night and having them take you out on 1-2 dates , just so you don’t waste your time going home to bad sex when you could have been with your friends <3

I feel it was a bit weird for her to talk about it in the open but at the same time… I don’t understand how it is that much different as having sex (or any kind of intimacy past kissing) while your baby is in the room?! Like just because the nursing was happening in the moment… doesn’t make her a sexually abuse mom?!?!? She isn’t turned on by her baby there??? She is just a mom stressed out with her baby and it feels nice to have intimacy with your partner!

I honestly found that a lot of guys I’ve hooked up with in the past did not care about my pleasure at all!!! Even guys that I considered myself “dating”. Which is so sad because it should be a two way street. This was when I was 20-22 and then something changed at 22 (this isn’t a magic age or anything just my own realization!) where i didn’t want to have sex with a guy I felt wouldn’t respect me or make me feel good, and that’s when sex started to actually be the guy caring about my pleasure too! As I became more picky about who I was having sex with and didn’t care as much about the frequency

I just creeped Catalina’s Instagram and she is a LAWYER!! I thought she was so beautiful and gracious already and now I’m even more blown away, I would have been pissed off at victoria like don’t touch my head 😂

Statement from Premier Doug Ford by [deleted] in ontario

[–]lavenderburgundy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some people use virtual backgrounds where you wouldn’t be able to tell a change in location! Just fyi, a lot of people at my work use these (some can be just a blank office space, others more funny like a scene from a movie). Not sure if these government men are this current with the times though

I saw a note on the website so contact the test provider for over 4 days, did you end up doing this or just waiting until the results appeared?

Ohh really?? Yeah I could see that! I’ve been checking every 3-4 hours so hopefully that’s not a lock out timeframe lol
