Employer paid me by “mistake” while I am in paternal leave

As as the title says, I got paid this month by mistake while I am in paternal leave. First I thought I got an extra annual bonus or something and I didn't had time to call my employer to ask what was with it. Few days after that I got a call from the HR and they asked if I could transfer the money back because it was a mistake. I didn't want to get in trouble or something like that so I just sent their money back. Only after that it crossed my mind that I had to pay a transfer fee for their mistake and I don't think it is fair to be honest. What would you do if you were in my place? Sorry for grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

You reckon the reason is COVID? Ha, that would be too sensible.

Went on a little rant on LinkedIn.

I made a post the other day venting my frustration about hiring managers and HR deceiving people about their “entry level” positions requiring 2-3 years of experience. I got a message from one of my former professors explaining how this has been a problem for while. He went on to say that it’s a bad look for me to be calling out managers and HR like that and that I shouldn’t be calling people out. I’m ashamed to admit that I folded and deleted the post in fear that I may not get an interview because of my post. Now, I’m angry and regret deleting it. I feel like they NEED to hear it from potential prospects and maybe they might reconsider adding the years of experience required for these so-called entry level positions. Should I have left it alone? Or was I right in deleting it?

I just had my 6 month review

And it was brought up about 3 times that's I'm quiet/shy. I don't think it effected my review as a whole, but it annoys me. I get my work done and work hard. Is it right to base someone's review on personality? (Other then being a crazy at work, that I get). They sometimes go out for drinks and I mostly don't go and apparently this was brought up with the communication aspect of the review but didn't reflect much.

Got Fired and feeling a bit lost

Hi All. I got fired from my job a few days back. I was told to complete the project and then they will give me a 2 week notice (although the exact date of the notice is still unclear). I think I'll be with this company till Oct, maybe mid Oct because that is the date the project is expected to complete. So I have a little bit of time to look for a job while I have this one (unless they change their mind and give me notice right away). I worked here for 9 months (could be 10 if you count Oct). This is in Toronto. How much EI would I get and for how long? On an emotional front, I'm a bit stunned because I thought I would be here for sometime despite me not meeting their expectations. But I'm more worried because going through the job…

Expected to move city for job to go office twice a week – the move will affect my finances significantly and put strain on my relationship.

Backstory I joined my current company 5 months ago. I work remote from a city in the uk and my office is in London. I rejected the same job offer a year before joining due to uncertainly about relocating (they were home based at the time but could not give me timeframe when I’ll be expected to move; also had surgery around that time and decided I didn’t need the extra pressure at the time) I was invited to interview for the position again and got an offer 5k better than last year. I was concerned however about having to relocate. Just when I joined everyone was going back on hybrid basis. I asked HR straight away back in March about my situation and what does that mean for me as my contract for renting expires end of October. Initially I was outraged when I got an email about asking…
