According to StatsCanada, the average household income in Canada is 66K. The average income of a single person household is 34K. The average price of a home in Canada is now 816K, an almost 100% increase in 6 years. Real estate is now part of Canada's top three “industries”, along with oil and gas, and mining. Think you can buy a home if you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps? If you use the CMHC “housing affordability” calculator for a 66K household with a 50K down payment and $1100/month non-housing related expenses, it says that household can afford a $292K house.

Yes, that's right: she was working at home for the company, yet they forced her to be paid by using her PTO. I told her that does not sound legal but she feels it's too late because it's been two years. She lives in the state of Kansas. She has a chronic illness that necessitates seeing specialists quite often along with having monthly infusions. She used up the bulk of her saved PTO and now has to take unpaid leave for most of these doctor visits. Anyone know if she has any recourse? Thanks!

STOP GIVING YOUR JOB A 2 WEEK NOTICE
My partner was let go today without any prior notice or warning. Why give an employer the opportunity to find a replacement for you if they aren't willing to give you a 2 week termination letter? Fuck work double standards.
I imagine that it is mostly retail and restuarant work but I would really like to know what you do. I did restaurant work for 10 years. I've seen some shitty managers.
