neglect as in "not doing" not neglect as in "not caring". I'm not suggesting he doesn't care for the cat, I'm suggesting he's solving a symptom instead of the core problem.

This seems like a classic case of over-engineering the wrong problem. The problem isn't that the cat is getting into the machine, the problem is that the human is neglecting to feed the cat. Solve the right problem.

You'd have a stronger point if you had France vs. US and no other standards. In reality, you have the accepted world standard and the US one, with a small smattering of UK units thrown in. To argue the entire world should switch back t

I'm confused, you think 12 is a better base unit to use than 10? Do you think we should all be counting in hexadecimal too?

Are you being sarcastic? I only ask because this sounds like a great way to escalate the situation and get OP fired. (I don't care how bad she is, she has experience capital and OP does not. She is more valuable to them than he is, end

Not to belittle your feelings in this situation, but nothing here is what I would describe as "bullying". A person not being nice to you, or being an ass in general, is not bullying. I don't think you'll get a positive o

It's not generous, it's normal for a first world nation, and has been for about 15 years now. It's the US that is really, really lagging behind here. And with many corporations multi-national, Americans should really be askin

Why would you assume that? In Canada and most of Europe the same system pays for both these types of care. Neither have any real negative affects on companies because: 1. All ee's have the same payroll tax rate, regardless. 2. All comp

Some companies actually top this up. A previous company I worked for had 20 weeks at 100% for females. (In Canada maternity and paternity are actually two separate types of leaves, but they add up to 52 weeks.)

This seems to be a common misunderstanding in the US. Companies don't subsidize these types of plans (well, other than being forced to allow the leave). The government does via something (in Canada) called "Employment Insurance&

The building manager is employed by the Strata, so in your case either the Strata bylaw already existed, or the Strata Council acted without explicit authorization. (Which they may have after seeing this issue regarding zoning.) This is why

Short answer: One of two scenarios... 1. Because the Strata (HOA in Canada) has no idea this is even an option. 2. Because most of them are in favour of it, (most likely). A big issue with a lot of condos in major cities (particularly new

It's relatively straight-forward to keep corporate tax to $0 in situations where it would matter to you as an owner. As others have pointed out, simply giving yourself a raise will avoid the corp paying taxes.

The problem for them though is that they are also French, so things like the ADQ are tied to the inevitable "we'd be better on our own" and don't ever leave the province.

Well, Europe isn't Canada, and 1933 isn't 2016. One of the major differences between Canada and any other country on the planet is the level of multiculturalism that is not only supported, but encouraged. It keeps all sorts of ext
