| Hey all I just want to focus on something else for once. My kids are not diagnosed and I have not seen any evidence suggesting they might be. I am the parent on the spectrum. So I ask other parents (regardless of diagnosis or suspicion) what was the best parenting moment of your life? This can be fu... |

| Technology and data recording is a lot more advanced now and quicker than it was even last year. But how long until AI accelerates the collection of such data? |

| On the prophecy of the antichrist, bible experts and Christians argue whether the end times as the bible illustrates it happened already. One argument is that Nero was the antichrist. Another argument is that the antichrist cycle repeats itself every so often (ie, fall of a global superpower, rise o... |

| The unfortunate thing with unions here is that you are more limited in rights and settlements in the event of litigation. A judge might reward a higher amount of severance and damages if wrongful actions are proven compared to an arbitrator. Yes that's true, they do provide legal advice, just that ... |

| So is this registery voluntary or what Probably not For Canadians, if Trump follows through on the 51st State threat, you can add more people to this list. Only after they finish pacifying Canada. They will never finish pacifying Canada. I hope you are right for everyone here. The gun buy back is s... |

| Married with 2 children and 3rd on the way. Burnout is seemingly perpetual now. I may be learning now that no gym time might make me more miserable. Have also been doing nightshift for over 2 years now and had to deal with some severe (by my standards) depression. Somehow, the bills still got paid, ... |

Unions (at least in Australia) have little influence on the outcome of reporting workplace harassment from bosses/management. My wife works in governme... |

His reasoning was that anyone listed could be in danger if the information fell into the wrong hands or a dictator came to power wan... |

| We have bad coworkers here too. After a while, I had to learn how to deal with them in a self preserving manner. Examples include 1. A coworker from Russia that survived the fall of the Soviet Union. He knows how to sweet talk management. Beware of what he says to the supervisors about your work hab... |

| Be proactive and not reactive when you see a concern pop up. Being reactive gives them plausible deniability and the arbitrator may end up viewing you negatively if a grievance gets that far. Boss's simply make your workplace stress unbearable. Once you are in the crosshairs your best option is to ... |

| If there is anything I have learned about the grievance process in a union environment with a CBA violation, the company usually pays for the arbitrator to hear your case. Anything related to a right to manage clause in the CBA usually ties to company policy. Because of those two factors, Arbitrator... |
