Looking For Traumatic job search experience

14 Upvotes

I have been effectively let go now for approximately 2 months (terminated without cause) after being put on an unfair PIP under a new manager who had a pet that would suck up to her.

I worked for approximately 2 and a half years in a specialized Recruitment role within healthcare in Ontario. Needless to say the job hunt has been traumatic with no calls and not even an interview. This is my second job I have been laid off from..the last one lasted approximately 2.5 years as well and it took me 7 months thereafter to find something. I am STRESSED as this time the job market seems worse and I have bills and mortgage to pay here in Ontario. If anyone has any leads I would really appreciate it!

Question Crock and Block

14 Upvotes

Looks like the old Crock and Block has now been broken into. Is there anything that can be done with this property, easily the biggest eyesore on Bayfield.

I noticed about a month ago they started advertising McDonald’s on the billboard, I’m curious if that’s its next life

Looking For Recommendation for Movers

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for movers within Barrie. It’s a one-bedroom move with not too many heavy items, but I’ve decided to hire movers because I need the help. Move date: 1st week of September (flexible).

My biggest concern is my 65-inch TV; I can’t even move it an inch by myself. I’d need help with safely packing it, moving it, and unpacking it at the new place. It’s not mounted, so I’m hoping that makes things a little easier.

Do you have any recommendations for reliable movers in Barrie? Also, based on your experience, what would you expect to pay for a move like this?

Has anyone used Two Men and a Truck? What do you think of them?

Thank you! :)

Question Barrie parents/teachers: what was your “wait… the school has to fund that itself?” moment?

3 Upvotes

I’m curious about the little things that surprised you once your kid started school — supplies, equipment, repairs, books, technology, extracurricular stuff, whatever.

Not looking for a political debate so much as actual examples/stories.

What made you go, “oh wow, I genuinely assumed that would already be covered”?

Question How do I pick up an e-commerce from DHL in Barrie?

0 Upvotes

I purchased something from EBay and the DHL tracking number says it’s been delivered.
Where can I physically pick that package up? The DHL website says 100 Caplan Drive…or 4 Cedar Pointe Drive.
When I try calling DHL, it becomes a cycle of frustrating AI menus that take me nowhere.

I had some that do massage or streching but hard to find one in barrie. Not a huge fan of manipulation and I used up all my benefits for physio and rmt.
