Hundreds Of Indian Students Queue Up For A Job At Tim Hortons In Canada https://ift.tt/6Cjpc2O Dozens of Indians and other foreign students in Canada have been seen queuing up to seek jobs at Tim Hortons, a popular coffee and fast-food chain. Recently, Nishat, an Indian student in Toronto, shared a video of the long queue of applicants outside a Tim Hortons outlet, highlighting the intense competition for part-time employment among international students. In the video, Mr Nishat shared that he is a student in Toronto and has been hunting for a part-time job for a month. Even though he reached the job fair 30 minutes before time, he saw a long queue of applicants already there. ''More than 100 students had already shown up for the job fair. Looking at the long line, even the white people nearby were shocked thinking what the hell is happening here,'' he said. He said that Tim Hortons staff collected their resumes, asked them about their schedules, and dismissed them, saying they would receive an interview call. Mr Nishat then travelled to a different part of the city which was quite far from his home, to apply for a job at another store. ''I don't know if I will find a job at either store. So this was my day full of struggle,'' he added. ''Job Fair at Tim Hortons Aur Struggle Abhi Baaqi Hai Mere Dost,'' he wrote while sharing the video. Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nishat (@heyiamnishat) The video, which has gone viral, highlights the job crisis and rising unemployment in Canada. Several other Indian students said that they too were looking for jobs in the country, but had no luck whatsover so far.  One user said, ''Due to unnecessary overcrowding in Canada, it is almost impossible to find a job for survival.'' Another said, ''Learn construction, handyman, repair or driving trucks. Canada has demand for these jobs.'' A third wrote, ''It's been 6 months and I'm still looking for my part-time job!'' A fourth stated, ''Daymm, I never realized how hard life is for international students, that don't have a rich family.'' A fourth added, ''This is not the Canada I came to 8 years ago. It was full of opportunities, growth and what dreams are made of. I don't even recognize this country anymore. Everyone had plenty of growth and employment opportunities. I found a part-time job in 2 weeks while studying and the stories I hear now break my heart. To all the future students that are planning to come here please don't be fooled, do your research and then make a decision.'' https://ift.tt/qjcZbVn June 23, 2024 at 09:19AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

CEO Shares What He Learned After Firing Employee, Internet Divided https://ift.tt/4QYnRI7 Matthew Baltzell, the founder and CEO of Cap X Media, has sparked a discussion online after sharing a detailed breakdown of his meeting with an employee he fired earlier this month. Taking to LinkedIn, Mr Baltzell said that the entire meeting took 10 minutes, during which the employee was informed he was being laid off. The CEO explained that the former employee was offered a severance package and a reference for a future job, should he need it. Mr Baltzell also said that he kept the whole thing "short and direct" and the employee handled it "professionally and with grace".  "Stayed clear and honest. After the meeting, I sent a message over Slack to inform everyone that the employee was no longer with us, without giving details. Gossip doesn't help anyone. I provided the ex-employee's contact info to the team and encouraged them to reach out if they wished. This avoids any secrecy. This approach shows my team that if they ever have to leave, they'll be treated with respect, not discarded like trash," Mr Baltzell wrote.  Mr Baltzell shared the post just a few days back. Since then his post has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling it tone-deaf.  "You just made someone's exit incredibly problematic for yourself," wrote one user. "This is horrifying. A real leader doesn't need to brag about how good of a job they thought they did in firing someone," said another. "If I've fired someone, the last thing I want to do is post about it on social media," wrote one user.  Also read | Watch: Putin Waves Goodbye To Kim Jong Un Through Plane Window As He Departs N Korea However, some users also praised the CEO for his leadership. "That's true leadership right there, Matthew. Maintaining a positive company culture even during challenging times is what defines great leadership," wrote one user.  "You handled this exactly how it should be handled which speaks to your leadership skills Matthew. I have witnessed a TON of bad exits over the years, including one I'll never forget as long as I live. An email 'meet me tomorrow morning at 9 am at the airport in Terminal 'x', and bring your computer and corporate credit card with you', accompanied by zero explanation, zero warning, and zero reason. Spoiler- it ended up getting reversed by senior leadership," shared another. https://ift.tt/HuQea18 June 22, 2024 at 10:39AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Real Or Fake? Internet Abuzz After Pics Of Pink Dolphin Surface Online https://ift.tt/XmHFvtA Photos claiming to show a pink dolphin off the coast of North Carolina have recently gained significant attention on social media, leaving viewers both amazed and puzzled. The pictures, which first shared on Facebook, show a pink coloured dolphin jumping in the air and another stranded on North Caarolina's Hatteras Beach. According to the social media posts, the dolphin had washed out of its natural habitat and was found abandoned on the shore. The images quickly went viral, leaving the internet stunned.  However, upon closer inspection, many social media users noticed the dolphin had an unusually plastic appearance. This detail sparked speculation, with many users questioning the authenticity of the images, wondering if they were AI-generated or fake.  Take a look at the pictures below:  A rare pink Dolphin. ? pic.twitter.com/KTxpezbOqA — Figen (@TheFigen_) June 19, 2024 In the comments section, one user claimed that the images are not AI-generated and that pink dolphins "show up every now and then", adding that the "last one was a few years ago near Louisiana. Albino dolphins are just rare". Another post claimed that the dolphin was washed off its natural habitat and was saved by a man.

Boss Fines Late Staff Rs 200, Ends Up Paying Rs 1,000 Penalty Himself https://ift.tt/16ryKzL To encourage punctuality and improve productivity, Kaushal Shah, the founder of Evor Beauty in Mumbai, implemented a new policy requiring employees to arrive at the office by 9:30 am. A fine of Rs. 200 was imposed on those who arrived late. However, this policy had an unexpected outcome when Shah himself accumulated Rs 1,000 in fines for being late. Shah shared his experience on social media platform X, humorously noting that the policy had backfired on him. His post quickly drew attention, highlighting the challenges of maintaining punctuality even at the highest levels of a company. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Last week, to increase productivity in the office, I made a strict rule for everyone to be in the office by 9:30 am (earlier, we used to come by 10-11), and if we're late, we pay Rs. 200 as a penalty. This is me paying it for the fifth time."

As for the concern about paying the penalty to my own UPI wallet, please note that I have created a separate UPI Lite account specifically as a team fund.
