Oooooooo, ~$900 a year to have your work phone potentially bothering you on down time 24/7?

If it works for your particular business that it never happens, you’re beyond lucky. If it doesn’t bother you, cool I guess. Sounds nuts.

It's a taxable benefit so he's paying for it.

Disagree.

The phone would not be a taxable benefit if the company provides the employee with the phone, the company owns the phone, and the company requires the employee to use the phone as part of their employment duties.

The phone service plan would not be a taxable benefit if the company requires the employee to use the phone as part of their employment duties, the plan has a reasonable fixed cost, and the employee's personal use of the service does not result in additional charges.

If there are additional charges as a result of the personal use, those charges are a taxable benefit, unless the employee reimburses the employer for those charges.

WRGMG these days are 'LinkedIn-fluencers' who use it as a way to gloat about their businesses, their accolades, their income, or provide ####ty life advice that no one asked for. For instance, from a random About section of one of these people that popped up in my feed:

Spoiler!


Who ####ing talks like this? And there's so many like this on that platform. LinkedIn is becoming so cringe now.

Glad to see they finally decided to unambiguate it. Although I do wonder what "basic plan" means in the eyes of the CRA. Probably a rotary cell phone.

I feel like the GG should be when things that should be simple, aren't, but more likely, the gear grinder is me not paying close enough attention to the notice received...

In any case - does anyone that has new mail boxes have any tips or suggestions?
You should be getting a new key with a number to locate your box. For example; if the key number is 32 your box is 3 columns over and 2 rows down, counting from the top left corner…..maybe.

They will mail you the new key to your new box. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and want to continue getting mail, will be to get it out of the box that may be yours... cue the theme music and the self destruct sequence

I have a work phone. And its not a taxable benefit. My employer pays 100% of the cell bill

But I also have a personal cell phone.

I am not sure what to do with any of that information.

Have you considered performing your stand up routine at one of the freedom rallies? I think you could really help lift their spirits.

He’ll flop with that group if he uses words like “unambiguate.”

Ha.

We will be up at 4 getting better than you. Half asleep, reading quotes to post and tell people how waking up at 4, cold showers, ice baths, 3 workouts by 5:30 is the way to live.

I used to get teams messages at 3:30 am because people needed to wake up at 3:30 to get ideas out and let us know about it.

Do you know how to turn your phone onto do not disturb?

Do you know how to push a call to voicemail?

There are times I have to work 7days/week 16 hrs a day.

There a times I have to work 5 days/week, 3 hrs a day.

There is give and take

Thanks for your concern

If you don't use the "do not disturb between -- PM and -- AM" feature on your phone for your daily sleeping hours then what are you doing.

I'd never risk someone being up at an ungodly hour interrupting my sleep for the incoming day because they wanted to send a reel before their 5 am workout.
