Canadian residents. What winter jackets do you all use? Wondering if there’s a brand or type that’s the warmest. My sister-in-law just moved to Canada and is having a really hard time with the weather.

I second the Eddie Bauer! Awesome jackets/ parkas

In southern Canada Eddie Bauer/ any other branded parkha with temp rating of -25C is more than enough. I am not sure if other brands have temperature ratings but Eddie Bauer does have a temperature rating.
And I can swear by the quality and effectiveness! I love it!

Does anyone know if we can reimburse expenses for items listed in Wageworks while on maternity?

I know we cannot expense phone/internet/ commuter benefit as I am not actively doing work.

However, for other items that fall under wage works reimbursement, I couldn’t find anything in writing yet.

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
