  • I was in charge with creating, designing, configuring, and running an e-commerce site on Shopify as well as responding to customer emails and orders. This was for a start-up. First orders would get a promo code for a 15% discount on a next purchase.

    CEO tells me we need to get rid of stock fast as possible, so make a storewide discount on certain models. I go and do that.

    We receive a bulk order of 50 of the discounted units while also using the 15% off promo code we sent out to early purchasers. Realized I should have put in a rule that doesn’t allow discounts to stack…

    CEO and other members all unanimously voted to get rid of me a couple of hours later.







  • This has kept me from reaching out to all of my old friends. They ended up hanging out amongst themselves just like old times but I figured if they wanted me there with them too they’d invite me. Since they haven’t, they’re probably fine with me not being there/dont want me there. Oh well. Still makes me sad about missed interactions but I guess it is what it is.

    I used to be toxic (maybe I still am?) so this is my punishment for it.









  • I’m in Canada and I’ve had opticians do this. They are full of shit. You need your distance between pupils and prescription (and possibly cylinder measurements if you have astigmatism) to buy glasses. They are preventing you from buying from other people and are trying to convince you that you must buy from them.

    Email them asking for the prescription and cc their head office if they have one. If they refuse, tell them that what they are doing is illegal in Canada. An optician MUST give a patient their prescription but it does not require the distance between pupils.

    Switch shops and absolutely leave a bad review and mention what they did.
