stepped on the guy's rights to smell?


No idea what he wrote to our union rep and CN management but yeah, I assume it's something like I'm offended that he implied I smell and didn't want me near lmao

My wife’s sister and her husband were incredibly frugal through their 20’s, lived at home til 26, moved out into their first house with a huge down payment, 10yrs later they own 4 houses, have an incredible portfolio and she doesn’t have to work for the rest of her life already... she’s 36 and has plenty of time left in her to enjoy her very early retirement. [However she decided to become a trades teacher instead]. They made so much money this last year on stocks that they’re giving money away to family members who aren’t doing well etc.

they’re the most boring people I know


Lol

Lmfao idk if this is jusf sad or hilarious af

So at work, our terminal is on shortage of workers, so they get other employees from other cities in bc to fly over and help out. They gotta do some familiarizing shifts, so they learn the area and learn how to do their job etc.

Apparently the new guy never washed his work gear since he bought it, and it stinks like shit. We know this cuz the dude told ppl lol. Anyways, the guy politely told him like don't take it the wrong way, but you really gotta wash ur stuff man, and do you mind sitting in the other engine? The dude said sure. The guy that said that is getting fired for harassment and theft lmao. Obviously he's getting his job back but damn that's kinda fucked up haha



I have a bunch of friends who work in the railway, snd it sounds like one of the most toxic, mismanaged work environments

Haha I guess it depends on the terminal, but it's pretty chill most of the time. It's usually the management VS union crap if there is any toxicity.

Also depends how you deal with it, like I don't stress about it at all and make them regret their dumb decisions all the time. For example, this manager got bitter af cuz we take late lunch breaks so we can go home an hour early. So he says no more of that shit and take ur lunch after 4.5 to 5hrs of shift. I just say sure man, and when we are at customers tracks about to do the work, it's time for lunch! Get cabbed back to the office, eat, chill, cab back. 1hr wasted, with angry customer cuz they pay their workers 50 to 100 bux an hr to stand around doing nothing til we deliver the cars haha

Oh that’s probably why, they’re both union reps or something
