Take the week off, boys.
I’m guessing some suit in Toronto made them all take vacation at the same time, but as an employee I’d be concerned about what it could lead to.

Maybe it’s because I’ve spent a lot of time in conference rooms talking about outsourcing, etc… but my opinion is that if you prove that the operation functions okay in your absence for extended periods of time, then some bonus motivated executive is going to figure out how to manage without you on a permanent basis.

This kinda happened at 960 already. They worked from home because of Covid for so long that Rogers was comfortable letting Klein go and replacing him with a remote Andrew “Hustler” Patterson dialing in from Winnipeg for a few hours a week back in the summer. Not that Klein was making much, but replacing him with a non employee at peanuts per week (they probably paid him in Rogers pay as you go gift cards) and no benefits costs was a classic cost cutting Rogers move. It worked so well, they eventually realized they didn’t really need Paterson either.
