good management will recognize that people coming in sick will just get others sick and you'll lose more man hours, we tell people to just stay home if they're sick

I think the long term trends are indicating that those days are behind us for good. Globalization, automation, inequality, population growth, etc. The whole perpetual race to the bottom combined with the assumption/mandate of continual growth of profits, year after year after year. There just aren't going to be enough quality jobs to go around for every joe and jane to live comfortable and fulfilling lives off of. Which is why we are going to need a basic income if we want to make our lovely dystopian future somewhat less lovely and dystopian. I know what I'm talking about because I bought an egg McMuffin from a robot this morning.

I single handedly brought one if the main Ontario MOH call centers to its knees by spreading a really bad cold. I ran out of sick days and when I warned my boss that it was a bad idea for me to go from PC to PC running some update that could have waited a week he told me to do it anyway and a quarter of the call center got sick. and the place was just big enough that some people would catch it two or three times as it wormed it's way back and forth. That was a great winter.

Instead of stripping citizenship from single male refugee citizens who commit terrorist acts, we just don't issue citizenship at all to single male refugees now. Huge improvement. #realchange.

"I had to get out of bed to go sit in a public waiting space, then speak face-to-face with a doctor who agrees that my cold symptoms are symptoms of a probably contagious cold, then wrote me a permission slip so I, an adult, could stay home instead of taking my disease to work" is a sentence built almost entirely out of stupidity and doctors are right to resist any part of it.

There is only one kind of citizenship and unless you lied to get it then the government shouldn't be able to take it away from you. Trying to create an underclass based on refugee status or eligibility for dual citizenship or whatever other garbage they want to hang from their bigoted coatrack is going to catch people in a net that have no business being there and it was stupid of the cons to try it. e: Also, "You are a terrorist so we're going to send you back to Terroristland" is really, really dumb.

I'm not defending C-24, just trying to reconcile a gap in Liberal principles. To give citizenship, it's principled to discriminate based on gender and sexual preference. To revoke citizenship, it's unprincipled to discriminate by crime committed.

Meanwhile in Calgary, public consultation meetings on the SW Transitway have been cancelled because of threats to city employees. From what I can tell, the small group of people staunchly opposed to this are upset that transit might bring poor people to their neighbourhoods, and are loving livid about that. And everyone knows public transit only creates congestion. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/nenshi-reacts-southwest-rapid-transit-meeting-1.3462880 quote:Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi furiously responded to a public meeting held Tuesday evening on the city's southwest rapid-transit project, saying there will be no future public meetings after city staff were threatened and abused by a small fringe group of opponents.

It's almost like Alberta should have had a more reasonable taxation system that is less sensitive to resource prices, while putting resource dollars into a fund for major projects and to collect interest that could be used to fund operating cost A bit late for that, now, though. Now you either borrow money, jack up taxes without taking the time to figure out how to do it, or cut government spending and further spiral the economy.

Not that it matters because I'm probably going to be let go like most other people and then I'll move to another province, but the NDP hasn't done anything to support the private sector (mainly oil and gas) and all of the people losing jobs when there were opportunities to do so, as in give incentives on the short term as part of the royalty review till oil is more stable, push for an increased use of natural gas in Alberta, which we have an abundance of. Cut public sector salaries and layoff superfluous positions there are tens of thousands of jobs gone and tax won't come in from them supporting a high paid public sector isn't feasible anymore. To be honest I'm just waiting for a severance package like a lot of people then I'm going to apply for government engineering positions in other provinces I think it's time for me the gently caress the dog like others, there's no point in working hard I've realised when you can half rear end a pension and vacation days from the government. Most people I know who actually still have jobs have taken huge pay cuts, I personally have taken 30% paycut in the last year and a half, to hear the NDP talk about not freezing public sector salaries or thinking about lowering them isn't going to do them any favours.

How could they "support" the private sector? What could they have done differently that would have had concrete results, don't give us any bullshit about "uncertainty". Alberta's economy is in the toilet because oil prices are in the toilet, and their provincial finances are in the toilet because of decades of conservative economic ideology (which is an ideology only suitable for toilets)
