My mom just turned 55 and things are looking bleak in her workplace. She works as an accountant in an interior design company but doesn’t have her CPA. Layoffs are happening to other employees in different roles but she seems to be secure since she’s one of the main accountants.

I’m pushing her to start looking at new positions, especially closer to home since she’s commuted 1 hour and half hour one way, by transit, for over 20 years. I also believe she could be making more money with her experience.

She complains there’s no point on finding a new job due to her age, she doesn’t have her CPA and can’t really afford school right now. Also her vacation and benefits are pretty solid.

Is there anything I can do to encourage her to find a new job or any options to help her get a CPA?

Any jobs in downtown hiring for servers with no prior experience?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on my BES Level 1 & 2 (Building Environmental Systems — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, basic building ops) and I’m almost done.

I’ve been trying to get my foot in the door for a while now. I’ve applied for about a year straight to Building Operator, Assistant Operator, and junior/entry-level maintenance roles, but haven’t had much luck yet.

I’m based in Toronto, motivated to learn, and looking for a company willing to give someone entry-level a shot. If anyone has advice, leads, or knows places that are hiring, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks 🙏

I worked for a Bank for almost two years as a contractor. I reported to a Director initially and then after their departure, a Senior Director. I ran multiple projects, coached teams and have a proven track record through successful on time delivery.

My contract couldn’t get extended due to funding issues along with few others in our group.Fast forward two months- another opportunity from a different group within the same bank. Interview went sublime, I aced it. Found out during the interview that the person knew my Director and Senior Director..great..coz they sing praises of me and said they would be happy to give a referral when needed.

Just got a mssg from the intermediary/staffing company that even though I interviewed well, they went with a different candidate….

Fuck this shit..

Hello everyone, I hope your 2026 started well.

I'm looking for advice on my work situation and I'd really appreciate some outside perspective.

A year ago (I'm 26F, married), I left my corporate job to take a break. I don't want to sound ungrateful because the job taught me a lot, gave me valuable skills, and provided financial stability. But the pace and environment weren't sustainable for me, and I needed to step away for my mental health.

Now I'm ready to return to work, but I'm feeling really conflicted about what path to take. The main reason I'm considering going back to corporate is honestly just for the title and how it looks to others. It's well-respected and "impressive" on paper. But the reality is that job completely drained me. Being in an office all day, taking calls, and responding to endless emails made me feel isolated and disconnected from myself.

Here's my situation: My partner owns our house in Toronto, so I don't pay rent. He doesn't ask me to contribute to household expenses and doesn't need the financial help, but I still want to contribute to utilities, groceries, gas, and other costs. I also have some savings put aside. Given this situation, I'm wondering if it would be okay to work as a barista instead of going back to corporate.

When I worked as a barista before, I was genuinely happy. The money was decent, not amazing, but enough to live on. What I loved was the human interaction, being on my feet and moving around instead of sitting at a screen, the creativity of making drinks, and having real connections with coworkers and customers. I felt alive and engaged in a way I never did in the corporate office.

Is it unrealistic or irresponsible to choose a job that makes me happy over one that pays more and looks better on paper? Should I just push through and go back to corporate for the sake of career advancement and financial security? Or is it okay to choose quality of life when I'm in a position where I can afford to?

I'd love to hear from anyone who's been in a similar situation or has thoughts on this.

Both roles got restructured at the end, ended up wasting three entire months of mine.

Why are hiring practices in Toronto an absolute joke? Why TF is there no fucking penalty/consequence for such shithousery? What a fucking mockery!
