CEO is the lowest form of human. Told people that they let their woek impact their personal lives.

Then lays off 15% of the company. Employers are going to regret treating employees like shyt. We will not be loyal to them and work smarter, not harder.

Government really needs to do more and protect workers in these situations. I’ve seen woekers laid off during most leaves and sick leaves. Company doesn’t even care about the well-being of their workers, just a number, and HR was completely Ok inr this? Terrible.

It's not the governments job to lookout for the people. They're only concerned with capital interests

At any place I've worked at if you take a leave that's not maternity and you are not a unionized employee when you come back you're on the chopping block. I've seen it happened to so many people across different organizations.

Sad to say but that is cap. At the very least the majority of working adults do not care or use any effort to implement change, like voting in people that care about workers. There is a disturbingly large amount of people that make less than 250k a year advocating for millionaires, billionaires and companies to not pay more taxes and other loony shyt.

You have to accept a very large amount of people will complain and scream about their situation, but will not collectivize to do anything about it. Even at the very least just to improve their situation. People care more about someone using a certain bathroom than not going bankrupt over major illnesses. Care more about what books are being read in school than why their wages are stagnant and why they have such little vacation time, or rights compared to other industrialized nations.

Damn that's messed up. I thought health care was free in Canada?

These Indians are coming over and taking over. Dude talking about you got to work longer and harder, worth 1.6 billion and cutting off an employee that has stage 4 breast cancer. That is scummy.

Healthcare is free. But it does not cover prescriptions, dental care and vision care. Also omitted are ambulance fees, long-term care. She was on disability so being off work your health plan covers part of your wages . So her losing her job she will only be able to get a EI which can't really pay bills.

It took me some time to realize it, but Business owners/Entrepreneurs have a complete different mindset. They're a combination of workaholic + no real social/family life

The problem is they can't understand why someone would be content working 40 hours.
It is not about not knowing, it is about not caring. They know they can get people in, either domestically or internationally. When you are not forced to care about your employees past legally mandated rules, this is what happens.

nah its in canada


she lives in Mississauga, she only moved to seattle for treatment



I moved to Seattle for treatment on December 9, 2023. I am working with Dr. Ben Chue from Lifespring Cancer Treatment Center. The decision to leave my family and move here was not an easy one. However, I was not doing well on standard of care offered in Canada and my oncologist was not very positive or open (to say the least). Unfortunately a number of metastases progressed so I do not have the benefit of time to play games. As a 45 year old mother of two I refuse to give up. I want to see my children in their adult lives, meet and love on grandchildren.

Dr. Chue’s protocol (which he graciously shared with my Canadian oncologist) has a number of stage 4 patients who are living and thriving as much as 20 years, cancer free. I’ve met a few thrivers myself and look forward to being one of them. As I do not have US health insurance I pay out of pocket for treatment. I secured a loan for treatment and family/ friends have been helping me with living costs. My plan was to offset costs by traveling back and forth to Canada for scans, naturopathic support, medication, dental etc. I actually have dental surgery (which I must do before beginning a treatment for my bones) planned for March which I’ll no longer be able to do.

My plan to offset treatment costs has now been thwarted by the loss of insurance. I will continue to get scans in Canada as the government covers those costs. It’s a common misconception that all heath is free in Canada. This is simply not so - medication, dental, vision, naturopathy etc are not covered.

A number of people have written to me asking how they can help, please be patient if I haven’t yet responded to your message. I didn’t share my story as a fundraising effort. But maybe this is the strategy that God’s providing me. The truth is I’ve been praying and asking God where is he? So many things have been happening to me - the enemy has been attacking me since moving to Seattle - I know he is trying to prevent me from continuing treatment. I know God is here, he shows up for me through the many guardian angels he sends. However, each time I have thought things couldn’t get worse they do. I’ve been meditating on the book of Job and know that just like Job I will be redeemed but the journey to redemption is not an easy one.
