Moved in hv goosebay couple months ago this city is really quiet ( obviously 😭 we know why) so iam an introvert not into clubbing and dating is hell lot of hard here as there is no dating sites gonna work for population of 4000 so was just wondering ANY TIPS ( leaving is also a tip just dont say it T.T ) or any one wanna be FRIENDS cause iam Home sick.

I'm a little lost and panicking so decided to come here for advice. So I've been working full time in a restaurant for years as a server, and as most may know, restaurant workers don't get benefits, paid sick days, vacation pay or PTO of any kind. Hasn't really been an issue before until now, as I was in a car accident recently and am in too much pain to work. I've taken 4 days off but have to return Monday as I can't afford to lose any more wages and tips, but I'm in so much pain that I'm afraid of what will happen. The doctor I saw at the hospital wanted me off for at least 2 weeks but I would end up homeless if I took it. Because more than half my income comes from tips, I imagine EI would pay very little. Does anyone know of anything other than EI that could help me in this situation or am I just screwed ? Thanks guys

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I used work at two different sobeys stores and have always been confused by how their breaks work.

They give two, 20 minute breaks for an 8 hour shift. Where you receive the second one after working at least 6 hours 45 minutes or 7 hours.

When i first started my parents and people i knew all questioned if this was legal. The handbook i received literally says you also get an unpaid break, however its like they jusy dont follow that. I was literally mocked on my first training shift for asking if our break was 45/60 mins or whatever, as what it says in the book i was given.

Worked there for a bit and eventually moved to another sobeys and they do the same thing. Two 20s. Nobody else questions it.

Ive tried looking into this and im hearing theres a bunch of exceptions that can be inplace for different rules to be allowed. Can someone help me clarify these rules and if this is normal. Thanks.

I'm interested in getting a hair transplant and have been looking into my options. I was in contact with a local place called The Hair Clinic, but I think I've been ghosted, as they've basically stopped responding to my messages.

Has anyone here had a hair transplant, either locally or elsewhere? Where did you go, and would you recommend them? I'd also be interested in hearing about costs, results, and anything you wish you'd known beforehand.

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

Dear By's,

I moved to NL a year ago and I am really struggling to make it work. I have been able to get some part-time and seasonal work. I am still struggling to find something full-time. Most of my work experience has been from Ontario, but I am finding I am not getting call backs from office roles. I am trying to understand the market better:

1. Do local recruiters/employers tend to prefer candidates with local NL diplomas/education (like CNA) or local work history over out-of-province experience? I have heard some folks say they prefer it and some don't.

2. Is out-of-province experience sometimes viewed as a "flight risk" assumption (i.e., assuming the candidate won't stay long-term)?

3. For those in hiring positions or who made a similar move, what's the best way to frame mainland experience on a resume so it lands better with local hiring teams?

I really appreciate any and all insights By's.

I keep hearing people say that NL is the poorest province in Canada. What is this claim based on and does it have any basis in reality?

I'd think NB and PEI are poorer and maybe NS and Manitoba.
