Posting on behalf of a friend who works in Alberta.

Her direct supervisor regularly screams at her, tells her to shut up in front of coworkers, and makes false accusations about her work. This has been ongoing for at least two years. She experiences panic attacks and constant anxiety as a result.

She is relatively new to Canada with some language limitations, which may be relevant to how she's being treated.

She wants to leave but can't afford to quit without EI. Her boss has not fired her and doesn't appear likely to. She has bills and no financial cushion.

She works at small private company so there's no HR department. The person bullying her is the business owner so there are no superiors she can report to.

Does this qualify as constructive dismissal in Alberta if she resigns due to these conditions?

Any advice from people who've dealt with similar situations in Alberta is appreciated.

Not sure if this will be deleted or not. I hope it stays up enough so I can get real advice from people familiar with issues like this.

A friend of mine is currently experiencing some terrible bullying and harassment by her boss who seems to have it out for her. Her boss screams at her, tell her to shut up, makes false accusations, all the works. She's constantly anxious, has experienced panic attacks, and just cries all the time. She's relatively new to the country with language limitations and doesn't know what to do. She, of course, can find a new role and she's trying but she doesn't want to quit and lose out on EI. She has bills to pay. Her boss won't fire her either. What are our options? How should she go about getting out of this situation?

I passworded an SOP I created a long time ago, at least six years. I can no longer remember the password. It's the kind that pops us when you open the file and you have to enter the password before the file can even open. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you recover your data? I've tried every password I can remember, even Claude tried with no luck.

I'm planning a family trip to the Waterton National Park end of May. It'll likely be for 2-3 days. I'm considering either booking a hotel in Lethbridge (never been) and driving into Waterton to hike, sightsee, etc. or booking a hotel in Waterton itself. Is there anything in Lethbridge worth seeing to make it worth the nearly 250km daily round trip from Lethbridge to Waterton and back? What would you do? At Jasper, we would typically stay at a hotel in Hinton and drive into Jasper every morning, but Hinton to Jasper is much shorter than Lethbridge to Waterton. Any and all recommendations welcome. I should add that I have three small children, ages 2-9. What kid-friendly hikes would you recommend?

I'm a texter. I text people and prefer to be texted. Every now and then, some family members, friends or acquaintance with send me minutes long voice messages on WhatsApp. I HATE VOICE MESSAGES and I will often not listen to them. If the person is important enough to me, I'll let them know I won't listen to the voice message and they should text me instead. Am I the only one? Is there a way to block voice messages on WhatsApp?
