Last you want is to be hired by new company, on 3 mth probation with no benefits to be let go after 3 months. | i'd signed a contract to move companies earlier this month....just days before it all really blew up.
i was going to give notice on the 12th but not have to do it next monday so i can start on my agreed/signed date of the April 14th.
i'm very hesitant to move at this time but my role is specialized (to a degree) and i've already been signed off by the client.

How bad of a company are you that in 2-3 weeks of shut down, you announce you are closing for good. Their prices were twice that of Club16, they were constantly in lawsuits with Steve Nash, the person. Terrible for their staff but this is obviously a case of piss poor management.

Steve Nash had to close because they no longer had patrons to pester with their sales pitches.
Fuck Steve Nash Gyms, nothing bad bad experiences with them personally and they were pretty much setting up their trainers for failure

F*ckFitness World. Anyone who knows someone who worked there should know how bad it is. I can't believe someone worked from them since 1988.

Did the employees get fired? I thought one of the news articles said they were laid off so they could collect EI?

Hey,
Have you had any friends that got social distancing tickets? Fines of $1000 EACH if they don't live at the same address?
I've heard three separate accounts of people being pulled over from this, but I have yet to see the actual ticket.
Anyone else hearing anything about this?
ie. they were in their car together and they got pulled over and ID's checked. Then they got tickets of $1000 each if they didn't live at the same address.

Nobody is able to provide any proof of actual ticket so I still dont believe it. Always the same story with all of them too.

I was walking to the park and around the block with my wife and no cops seem to bother us even though we saw a cop car cruise by.
Also with your example what if I was with my parent or sister going out or something since we all live at different address do we get fine? We are a family after all so what's wrong with family going out together?

If you're non union, employers have the ability to terminate you without cause at any time in most cases, unless specified in your employment contract.
Firing an employee with cause so that no severance is paid has a high legal threshold. Companies 'fire' people all of the time, but they do so without cause and pay a severance that both parties agree to. Fitness World would have likely offered severance packages to all employees who were let go as per their obligations under common law.

I thought fired was with cause, ie. the employee fucked up. Laid off was due to circumstances outside of the employees control, like lack of work.

Awww yeah, my favourite local brewery (Hoyne) is doing free delivery on orders above $60, and their pricing is same as liquor store. Ordered at 11, delivered by 3. All set for the weekend.
This virus thing is really going to shift a lot more people to delivery based services, that's for sure.

^ yep. Learned Costco can deliver food as well. I’ve had a few deliveries over the last couple days. Very interesting to have a sanitization station set up at the front door to disinfect everything from the outside world.
4 days of quarantine to go...

Your slowdown situation is more likely due to your router supplying bandwith equally amongst all devices. Check your router wireless settings - if you have a newer router, you may be able to prioritize the MAC addresses of you and wife's devices, or lower the priority of video streaming.

Red Arrow does free delivery over $50. They're not Hoyne, but better than many others.
