Started a new job recently and there’s this snack table in the break room and it’s always full.

Cookies one day, donuts the next, random chocolate bars, homemade treats, sometimes things just appear out of nowhere. The funny part is nobody even knows who’s bringing what, it’s like the snacks just magically restock themselves.

At this point it’s kind of a running joke that dieting is basically impossible at this workplace.

Does every office secretly run on sugar or is it just ours?

I’d imagine there’s some caffeine in there as well 😂

That sounds like a dream to me I'm a serial rubbish eater so if I come in and there's donuts and cookies in having a field day

Sounds familiar. A lot of workplaces seem to run on coffee and sugar more than anything else. Those mystery snack tables somehow stay full no matter how much people grab. Great for morale, not so great for anyone trying to diet. Anyone ever figure out who the secret snack supplier is?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
