Les témoignages d’aujourd’hui sont ceux de Mathieu et d’Andréanne qui s’occupent tous les deux d’un proche atteint de la COVID longue.

The US is behind most countries when it comes to these things, there is no work/life balance.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.
It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

If you’re an administrator of a school, I need you to understand:
‘Butts in seats’ is immoral & counterproductive.
Sick people make sick people.
When one is sick,
they aren’t actually present.
When you get that, come back, I’ll help you achieve that goal of high attendance.
It’s my expertise.
In 2026, my dog Berton and I are going to embark on a coast-to-coast-coast journey around Canada.
I'll be documenting the journey in videos and in a planned book.
It will focus a lot on Canada's history.

It’s such a mindfuck to see articles & TV shows trying to sensitively reflect on the ongoing COVID pandemic—but doing so only in the past tense, or as if it were a horrible event that ended in 2022 & is all behind us now & we just need to deal with the psychological after effects. It ain’t over.
Voilà c'est corrigé, de rien !

Safeway Clerks Say Service-With- Smile Rule Gives Some Wrong Idea Sep 3, 1998 Kim Curtis The AP MARTINEZ, Calif. - Safeway's "superior customer service" program requires all employees to smile, greet and make eye contact with every customer who walks in. Many customers say they shop at Safeway because they're treated well. "They always offer to help with my groceries. They know exactly where everything is," said Julianne George, a music teacher who shops at a Safeway in Martinez. "They're concerned that you have the best possible shopping experience." But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain.
But that experience has turned into a nightmare for some workers at the Pleasanton, Calif.-based grocery store chain. Richelle Roberts, a produce clerk at a Lafayette, Calif., store, said she's propositioned daily by men who mistake her company-mandated friendliness as flirtatiousness. "This never used to happen to me until I had to open the door," she said. "It just takes away our rights. A woman knows where and when not to open that door for certain men." A produce worker at a Pleasant Hill, Calif., store said she has hidden in a back room to avoid customers who have to repeatedly propositioned her and followed her to her car. Barbara Carpenter, president of United Food and Commercial Workers' Local 1179, said, "The union wants a non-hostile environment and `superior customer service,' as it stands today, jeopardizes the safety of our members."
So Safeway tried this "Superior Service with a Smile policy" like what Target is trying back in the 90s women employees were harassed so much some hid in the back trying to get away from male customers. Sometimes the dudes followed the employees to their car after their shifts.
Sounds super safe.

I have no idea.
My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).
Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.
I promise I won’t hug you either.
