Hey all, My Father suddenly passed away Nov 2022. He had an ESOP through his work plan, in which he had an RRSP (Canadian IRA). Morgan Stanley administers the plan On all the accounts he named his wife, My Mother, as the beneficiary. The statements clearly indicate this. From the start of the account till his passing, the statements are crystal clear However, Morgan Stanley claims there is no beneficary, despite what the statements say cause there “is no signed form” (ie they lost the form). (Beneficiaries don't just pop out out of nowhere on the statement; my Dad named my Mom) They refuse to release the money unless we get a probated will – which is ridiculously expensive and time consuming in Ontario. And we won't get the RRSP tax deferred benefits. His sudden death at a young age (58) caused so much stress to all already. Not that…

I know sometimes boomers and even some of those of my generation make obnoxious blanket statements about millennials and gen Z and refuse to acknowledge that they benefited from an economic model that is now hampering the financial stability of those same generations, so I just wanted to leave a small Note of solidarity here for y’all. They say people get more conservative as they get older but I am finding the exact opposite. Over the past five years I’ve gone from your typical white middle-class liberal to what I would say is a social Democrat, and if my Continued journey for knowledge takes me even further to the left than that, I am open to it. I am really encouraged to read that younger generations, on the hole, are more open to Socialism and other economic policies that have socialistic aspects. In this fight with you!

I understand that legally its part time. but its so insane. So the job says 10-4 shift workers are still basically tied to the job. The shift is such an awkward time and you can't commit to a second job. My guess this is no accident. What's the point in losing the two hours from the front and back when nothing is really open? Shops don't open early. I guess there's extra sleep time. And less stress going home in the dark. But come on. part time asking you to commit five days a week still doesn't seem that part time to me. Of course I don't take jobs like that because I'm not that desperate. But I feel sorry for whoever. Sorry if wrong sub. But I feel these type of hours are garbage.

What are some of your favorite antiwork or general songs to help the work day/night go by? Any playlist recommendations?

Quick background: I am a supervisor, not the boss. I can’t fire people and the ultimate decision is the branch manager’s. But I do try to treat people with kindness and respect. I’ve always hated micromanaging bosses and I have made an effort to not do that to my colleagues. However, I feel that I am constantly babysitting. Several of the workers that I supervise seem to need to be told what to do every second of their shift or else they just sit and socialize and do nothing. I have verbally and in writing given tasks and activities that need to be completed during downtime when we are not dealing directly with a customer. I don’t expect people to kill themselves trying to complete unrealistic or unreasonable tasks, but I do expect there to be more work done than watching til tok videos. It’s like herding cats, I have…
