Trust me this jobs gets easier the more experience you have.

I hated my life every single day when I was a first year because my second year was a jerk and I have no idea what I was doing - now as a senior VP I can tell you things will get better. Hang on there.

Yes

Why so bad? The hours?

That associate is a total cocksucker. Don’t listen to that, because he can’t be trusted to give valid criticism and if you trust any of your VPs I’d bring it up. You don’t have to snitch outright but you can say his feedback is not constructive and I’m not learning anything new under his guidance.

Hello,

I just wanna say that my head feels better since I take lion's mane extract. I stopped zoning out, I have less narrations in my head simultaneously. I can actually do tasks on almost time. If someone wants to try, it's mandatory to take vitamin c with it. It's a life changer for me. I wanted to share it.

Hi everyone! I’m quite new to Canada and still exploring the job market. I used to be the Program Manager for a social enterprise before starting my own martial arts training center. All of this was in Bangladesh. I also have some work experience in London in employment support. I have an MBA in International Business from London, but currently I’m considering if I need to go back to school to get into the Canadian job market.
Any suggestions for a newcomer?

How many times does a kid have to hurt people before something happens? I work with a student part time at one school before going back to my original school. He got moved because of his aggressions. He hurt one teacher but she was able to just do PT. He hurt a para to the point of surgery. He also did something to the bus attendant but we don't know what. I'm afraid now that he will hurt the teacher I'm with due to seeing what has happened in the past and how it happened.
