Is anyone getting sick of our Ubers?
Nearly every Uber from YYZ I get bombarded on what the fee was, whether I can pay cash, whether I can tip big.
Feels like a 3rd world country

I just take the airport limo as I’m getting reimbursed anyway. No chit chat and I love it. The one time I did take Uber, it sent the driver to the wrong terminal, he was mad at me etc., and it was an annoying experience especially late in the evening. Never bothered again.

like

I have also been taking Ubers a lot and have also been told these things consistently - how much they get from the ride, whether I can cancel and pay cash, and others have hinted that because they arrived on time “all their high end clientele tip well” …one guy even told me to tip a minimum of $10. I’m female and paying out of pocket (not company covered)… my rides are usually 35-45 minutes.
As a female - asking me to cancel and pay cash is not just a diversion so they can get more $… it’s also a lack of care for my own safety. Nope!

I posted this exact thing on Reddit some months ago, only difference is I identified the prevailing demographic that is doing this and I was banned for “hate speech”. If nothing changes, Canada will be unrecognisable in the next 5-10 years

As someone from “that” demographic I am so so pissed at this government for lowering the bar so badly that I unfortunately feel like I am being judged. I am so angry

No I never got this. The only thing is when you split an uber with friends they often have the passenger seat blocked.. I understand why you wouldn't want strangers sitting next to you but still.

Not at all

It must be because I am an hour out of the city
Not far from Hamilton though

That’s crazy. I haven’t experienced this in Vancouver, but it may soon happen her too.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

One of the team member has applied leaves for continuous 3 days this month. Later she applied for a 15 days leave saying a medical emergency. Both the leaves were rejected from her manager saying connect with HR. though she is on leave without PM leave approval and this is not even prior notice to the team.
Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!

I accepted a new job, they said PTO was “generous.” I find out it’s 19 days a year of PTO (which includes sick days). I have two young children and we like to vacation 1-2x a year (no more than a few days away each time). Am I crazy that this is pretty limited time off? 8 of the normal holidays off during the year (working the week between Christmas and NYE). Thoughts? I dont know if lack of PTO is a good reason to back out, is it?
