No clue, just what the possible conclusion from all the test results and how it went away.
Rants etc.....

- Start date
All of my large package Amazon orders seem to go through a logistics company called "CEVA". I get the feeling they're focused a lot more on the logistics of getting parcels from one warehouse to another than they are on the final mile of home delivery.
My exercise bike has been sitting somewhere in Moncton since last Wednesday night, and doesn't appear to be inclined to switch from "on hand at destination" to "out for delivery".
To make matters worse... today is the delivery date spit out by amazon's system so I won't be able to get them to poke the shipper for a couple of days.

Wow very smoky today in Toronto, can actually see the haze at ground level and can smell it.

No, it was a sale item (damn near 50% off of $700) so I very much want to get the product as opposed to having them cancel and refund......

I have never ordered any big ticket item from Amazon...but lots of stuff has been delayed or lost and when that has happened I often get a notification that if 'something' isn't delivered by 'this date' you qualify for a refund. a lot of the time whatever that 'something' was does arrive...

It really piss me off reading news like this. These assholes layoff a bunch of people including my friend but now they have money to donate to charity to guilt people back into the office. I'm extra pissed because of my current company as well. No money to level my pay but can afford to stay at the bloody JW Marriot in Vancouver. I bet even with corporate discount, that place isn't cheap.

Salesforce co-CEO Marc Benioff has complained about loss of office culture due to WFH, though some workers have reportedly said layoffs hurt that culture more.

Modern management does not manage very well these days. Too many of them are just bobble head 'yes' people, which seems to be what upper management wants instead of experienced, knowledgeable people. Why money gets wasted instead of invested in workers.
Stocks almost always go up when they announce a layoff, because workers are just considered overhead.
They can then use the layoff to rehire at lower rates or part time or contact type jobs.
Another big factor is the distance between the workers and those in charge who are rarely onsite and have no clue.
Way, way back, a company would offer shares to do the start up. Then everyone would work in the same factory or building. Now it's all spread out globally. Look at the Radio Shack story. They got rid of all the long time workers (to save money), workers who knew their products. Happened where I live. The original people knew everything or would find answers. The new replacements didn't know anything.
