Or the number of people coming in not even saying hi or anything at all and just showing me a picture of like a pair of sunglasses on their phone. Humans have totally lost the ability to act properly in society, and clearly not only younger generation

Hashtag loving it

Not sure what I could do

Like do you really need to come buy a new handbag, get a watch repair or try shoes for fun today ? Can corporations or Ontario let us have life ?

Any recommendations of good and realistic movies talking about the pioneers / first European populations that came to settle in the US or Canada please?

I am just passionate about this subject and I want to learn more about it please.

Would love to find a movie that really shows how life was back then and how hard it was

Open to any style of movie

Thank you so much in advance

I am a high performing seller in luxury retail since 5 years with a minimum of $1M+ annual history put on a performance counseling notice immediately after my 90 days probation at my new job for missing one monthly goal. However, 60% of my entire team also missed their goals this month due to a major brand slump. The notice they gave me is also riddled with math errors and typos. Is this legal in Ontario?

The Situation:

I have 5 years of luxury retail experience with a consistent track record of high sales. I started this role in January and passed probation in March. April was the first month I missed my goal but I was not alone. More than half the team (60%) missed their targets because the brand is in a global slump and foot traffic has really went down.

Despite this, management issued me a formal notice: if I miss the goal twice more in six months, I am fired.

The Red Flags:

• Targeting Individuals for Systemic Issues: They are penalizing me for a performance issue that is clearly affecting the majority of the staff due to company wide sales drops and undergoing a restructuring plan that has been officially published.

• The Document is Sloppy: It contains several clerical errors, including a misspelling of my job title and unfinished digital placeholders like "click to enter date".

• The Math is Wrong: The data used to justify the failure is mathematically inconsistent. They used my achievement percentage as the "variance" gap.

Just want to specify, this expectations are only applied since the month of April and it’s the same for every employees.

My Questions:

1. Is it legal in Ontario to put someone on a performance track when the majority of the team is also failing to meet the same unattainable goals?
2. Does an error ridden document with wrong math and a misspelled title weaken their legal standing if they try to fire me later?
3. Should I point out these errors and the team wide failure before signing, or just keep a copy for my records?

Basically if I dont hit my goal two times more during the next six months I will be fired.

Just for context I am in retail since 5 years and was selling minimum 1 million each year at a previous brand. But I just started working for another luxury brand in January. So I’ve never been in this situation before…

They asked me to sign a paper about the performance counselling tonight. I took it home to read it and look into it before signing it

At my work place that is supposed to be a high-end store I have the joy to deal with :

- people burping all day without apologizing, even during their meeting speech

- people chewing their food so loudly with their mouth open, slurping on their pasta and their drink and swallowing very loudly too

- people coming in sick and coughing without covering their mouth

- one dude making gross throat-clearing noises even in front of customers, he keeps snorting and clearing mucus in his throat and mouth all day

- one old lady spitting loudly her mucus in the sink of the washrooms and leaving if there for everybody else to see

I am working with people from all age and all type of backgrounds but this seem to be very common nowadays. Am I the only one that has been raised to live in society lol ?

I used to be very successful working in luxury menswear selling suits, now I work for a luxury brand selling mainly handbags, shoes and womenswear since January. The brand is not doing well at all and this month I was not even able to meet my goal. I do everything I can, I also clientele a lot but the store traffic for walk in is so down I’m really struggling.. if I don’t meet my goal the next two month I’ll get fired. This never happened to me in my previous position I used to sell minimum 1.4 million per year. Just looking for any advices please I am a bit desperate and I feel like the clientèle of this brand just doesn’t vibe with me lol

Want to check it out but I live far so I want to make sure they are blooming

I’ve been living in this neighborhood for a few years now, and I’ve noticed a pretty significant change over the past few months. There seems to be a growing number of homeless individuals, especially around the Loblaws and the small mall/food court attached to it.

Every time I go grocery shopping or come out of the subway, I see several homeless people wandering around. The Loblaws itself always has a strong unpleasant smell because of the crowd... and their washrooms. I’ve also witnessed a few people clearly in crisis inside the mall, and people stealing pretty often.

Outside, on the street in front of Loblaws and along Yonge going south, there are often people dealing with mental health issues, and homeless people tend to gather near some of the long-vacant storefronts to seat or sleep. Overall, the area smells bad and feels less safe than it used to.

Even just driving around this intersection you can definitiley notice that.

I don’t feel safe anymore.

Has anyone else noticed this change? Does anyone know if there’s a shelter nearby, or why this area has become a gathering spot recently?
