This looks to be a global thing for their staff. I file this under "local" because their planetary HQ is here in Ottawa-Gatineau, in the 150 Elgin Building.

(Of course, I looked for their 'Help Wanted' page just now. Pandemic or not, I still have to look for work.)

Meanwhile, I'm watching videos about flow-charting software, just in case the job search doesn't get messed up. Or maybe to do what I can to get a work-from-home job. Not sure yet, but I've got to keep doing useful things.

I am chronically underemployed, have seasonal lung issues that kick in every spring around April-May like clockwork usually due to allergies, and have to share a house with at least one person over 80. I don't see how I can afford "radical social isolation", and yet I understand the situation is what it is.
