We finally got rid of a toxic leader, and for a moment it felt like things would get better. But the fear, the fake positivity, the “say nothing” survival mode they created… it’s all still here. It’s like the trauma outlived the person. Can a workplace actually heal after long-term dysfunction, or does the damage always stick around?

Are there other people around who may not be a leader but show those traits? In that case, the root may have gone but the stem and branches are left behind

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

Just spent a week at Revelstoke BC and that place is ridiculous! They already had 27’ of snow so far this season and it snowed every day we were there. Not for beginners and endless tree skiing and cliff hucking (if interested). Great town vibe and worth the effort to get there. Visited Fernie BC on my last trip and highly recommend that place too!
