They gave us things like monitors but really everything they gave us pales in comparison to the sheer amount of money I saved by staying home. lunch plus coffee plus commute plus the hours of getting ready and commuting equals thousands and thousands of dollars every year

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?
