Inflation: 13.8%
Government's offer to workers: 9%
The real impact: a 5% cut to the value of workers' wages.
PSAC started with a 13.5% demand and is now signalling acceptance of a lower level. They're being flexible. The government shouldn't call that "unreasonable".
“you’d pay $8 for a Big Mac but not for Twitter?” well, yeah, because one is a wildly unhealthy product that makes me feel sick to my stomach and the other is a delicious Big Mac
@arghavan_salles I am so sorry you are going through this. I had a coworker say that I should have another baby not knowing our story. Hoping to nip it in the bud, I said, "My body doesn't make babies easily." To which she replied, "Oh, it's not hard!" Even when we try, ppl don't listen.
HURRY QUICK recommend a romance movie that’s annoyingly cheesy, well-written but goofy and sweet, beautiful cinematography, released before 2000, will make me cry all kinds of tears, and will make me feel held and comforted.
My oven is dead. It cannot be fixed. While I am figuring out how to replace it, I am thinking about getting an air fryer to help out with potatoes and veggies and such that I like to roast. Any suggestions on make, features etc?
@iKnit4me2@punished_cait We hire a lot of people fresh out of university so I try to remind them this part is a marathon, not a sprint. Plowing ahead without any breaks and doing unpaid OT is just going to burn them out... and then our employer will replace them with another fresh-faced go-getter.
@SurlyJenni@punished_cait This is also me. I’ll own it at 42. 🤷♀️ Teaching the young coworkers how to set boundaries with managers is a daily goal of mine
I know not a lot of people follow me and I don’t exactly tweet a ton so I probably won’t show up on people’s timelines but if you happen to see this, could you post a pic of your pet? It’s been a hard past couple of weeks and I could use the cheer.
