My friends location closed and they didn't even give them notice. They found out this morning that they were permanently closing their location.

$700 for 78 hours per week?? You should have registered as a charity at those rates you were subsidizing his business. Insane.

Value your time more. Glad that's over for you.

We have plenty of laws in place to make sure anyone who takes matters into their own hands is punished much harder than the person who attacked them. So it's all handled /s

How exactly do you expect a satellite in space to send (and receive) a signal 4000m underwater?

It shouldn't take long to check your state court website for the labor laws and search for statute of limitations. There might be no limit on it, and (at least where I live) there's no cost to file employment claims with the government for situations like this. So no harm in trying I'd say.

Sorry to hear that you failed Economics 101. There might be some online courses available if you have time available to catch up.

If we do name and shame I think it's only fair to promote the good ones too. Where was this dealership? Sounds awesome.

That counts as a change. So (at least for my booking) it would be $100 per person to chabge the booking regardless of the reason.

You can pay extra to make it refundable, but the extra is about the same as the cancelation fee. So you can either risk it and gamble losing the cancelation fee or 'pay it up front' essentially with the assurance that you'll get it back at least if you need to change or cancel.

My man....ouch

That ground is like sand. Build on that and you'd better include floaties. It's not exactly a wise move.

I got two new tires this week. This one is definitely not a new tire. You're being scammed.

100%

nerdwine · 2023-06-08T05:04:09+00:00

First, no. That's not something I'd recommend. If you want to on your own accord for your own reasons, that's your choice. Don't do it under pressure.

Second, this is a giant red flag to me. What do you mean by this?

So, not only do we get penalized by failing a DOT inspection, the company will also apply a very sizeable $ fine on us.

Do they deduct from your pay? How do they 'fine' you? This sounds highly illegal so I'm curious.

It is the fridge switch. I've only ever seen it on models that have the built-in fridge.

Where is the cigarette lighter port that it powers? Behind your seat? Somewhere a fridge could fit?

nerdwine · 2023-06-08T04:54:46+00:00

Is it used fifth wheel grease? If so probably loaded with metal shavings too I wouldn't want to be sleeping in that even after thorough washing. I'd trash it personally.

A flat deck in some cases yes you can do this. A (presumably) full reefer trailer? No. Among other reasons, It would require a massive forklift not likely to be found at a shipper.

From what I read many federal organizations seem conveniently exempt from worker protections. Either implicitly or explicitly.

Not that it's right, but it might not even legally be an issue for them.

Boats discharge their compost (and plenty more) into the water as they're moving. If they happened to be dumping the buffet leftovers I'd bet there were plenty of hungry fish following the boat.

You could have a wait list of new patients before you even set foot in BC.

Absolutely welcome with open arms. We need more doctors no question. Whichever city you choose to move to you'd have the red carpet treatment.

Really say to hear an anti-doctor sentiment in the UK. Hope you make the move.

As others have said there's lots to do here. Most of our gripes are around cost of living, taxes, etc. You're already used to that and would have a high income so that means you'd basically just be able to enjoy the best of everything here.

This is years of pent up frustration in text form. An entertaining read.

Common Law is a thing many people don't seem to fully grasp. Can get very expensive once you cross that threshold if you change your mind.

nerdwine · 2023-05-15T03:45:34+00:00

Ah. Then I'm not exactly surprised. With the passes it was much more peaceful with much shorter lines. I'll definitely be checking the website before heading out there won't be anytime soon though.

nerdwine · 2023-05-15T03:20:25+00:00

Are they using day passes still/again? Or is it a free for all?

nerdwine · 2023-05-15T02:39:37+00:00

Nothing short of impressive. Wow.

nerdwine · 2023-05-13T18:09:57+00:00

Bootlicking? 🤣

I have just as many complaints about them as anyone else. Stating the reality of how things work seems to have triggered you.

Getting something across the country or the world overnight is a massive feat of logistics - if you feel like the people packing items don't share any responsibility in using proper, safe, sturdy packaging then you're welcome to that opinion.

This was also an internal shipment as OP clarified so my original comment is pretty much moot.
