It may be another COVID Christmas but there’s still a lot to be grateful for, especially being able to help others. Whether it be through mentorship, volunteering, or charity, every bit helps! What are you doing to help this holiday?

Step 1. Someone mentions how it'd be lovely to have M1 Mac as our new work laptops in our developers slack channel.
Step 2. SEVEN minutes later, there is an email in our inbox. Not only are we getting M1s, but we can keep our existing Macs because why not do the simple thing?

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday.
Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care.
RT if you agree
Peter summed up perfectly how amazing our R&R Fridays off were this summer at Shopify. We are all so grateful to have had that perk and to get to work with creative folks like him!
