Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but I had my winter tires swapped out with my summer tires the other day at the dealership. $200 Labour plus $20 envrio fee. Is that a normal charge on a tire...

I have been planning on popping there, and having a good look at the 2019 Porsche Macans. Just wondering people's experiences with this Porsche dealership ? I'm basically ditching a 12 year old car...

I have spent the better part of a decade avoiding paying for parking, so I feel somewhat obligated to comment. Full disclosure, I never pay for parking in an Impark lot, never will. You don't have to...

Heard across the board in non-customer facing roles. Although I don't work there, so I'm sure people that do can comment further

Hearing from multiple sources that a large percentage of Shaw employees were sent a package offer to leave.

Most referral bonuses are only a grand or two. Shouldn't break any company's bank. Most aren't paid out until the candidate has worked 6 months or so. Given the high cost of training and high...

Security is definitely the best path at the moment, however it might not be the best quick path to a job. There are no quick courses to an IT security job. You need a strong foundation in networking...

I agree for the most part with the things previously mentioned in this thread. Things are certainly shifting (aren't they always), although I don't think full automation or the widespread deaths of...

Here is a question. How is severance/termination notice handled if an employee is considered Part-Time. My gf has worked for a company for 9 years and is technically considered part-time, even though...

Was thinking the same thing throughout the whole speech.

Atheist and celebrate Christmas and all other Christian holidays as well.

The answer is no. I've supported hundreds of companies big and small and nothing mobile wise is ever monitored. Even if the device is being tracked it is extremely unlikely your text messages are...

Black Betty was months behind on their bills was eventually punted from the building abruptly. I don't think they are re-branding :dunno:

The OT thing varies quite a bit from company to company. I'm fortunate that my current company does pay out OT. There are a lot of easy weekend projects available to rack up easy OT hours as well. We...

Don't let all these guys dissuade you. If it's what you want to do, dedicate yourself to it and you will have a great career and make plenty of money. It can be stressful, it can have a sharp...

I have a couple so that's probable. Interestingly enough the cost of the City of Calgary ticket is roughly the same as parking for the day anyway

Got a City of Calgary parking ticket (a real one) inside an Impark lot. Ever seen that before ?

That's a great game plan. Study up, rack up some entry level certs, go to SAIT, get some entry level experience, get some harder certs, climb the ladder

woot woot, won the draw, tons of choice available. Going to game 3 :) :poosie:

All good now, Issue was discussed with management and we came to an agreement for what I wanted. :)

Thank you all for your input

I'm not asking to take any kind of deficit in vacation days. Weather it's calculated as 1.25 days earned/month or 1 week earned/4 months doesn't even matter. Just looking to take the time earned....

That may be exactly what i do. To be clear, I did not say there was anything illegal about what they have done, simply it was a tad shady to imply otherwise when I was hired.

where in that document does it say you don't earn vacation pay in your first year ? If they don't want to give TIME until the second year that's fine based on the labour document, except that is not...

Explain how accruing vacation pay from your first day of work is not a law in Alberta ?

If I start a job and agree to x number of vacation days, work a year not using any of them, quit. You still...

I should clarify they consider a year from date started to anniversary date (not calendar date) which is fine. So in my case October to October.

The way they tried to explain it is you earn 3...

I'll break it down one more time as it is confusing

When hired in October of 2014. I signed on for 3 weeks of vacation every year. I had previously booked a vacation in December of that year (3...

it's not so much this year I'm worried about, I can live working to October with no more time off. It's next year that is my big concern. To say I only have 7 more vacation days to use from now until...

Unfortunately there isn't an HR department. Company only has about 60 people. I have to go to one of the owners. Just want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I do. Looking at what was in...

You are mis-interpreting what I am saying. I never said I am looking to take a 3 week chunk at one time. I am simply looking to take vacation as it becomes earned. How are my math skills off ? If you...

I would say that statement isn't typical, if what I sign says you get 3 weeks each year. That would imply 3 weeks first year, 3 weeks second year, 3 week third year etc. (as accrued of course). I...

Ya but do you normally go 6 months without a single paid day off ? Most companies don't do it this way, and it's not what I signed papers for. So I think it should be well within my right to question...

I don't really see how this makes me not a "normal" person, in fact all I'm really asking for is to be able to take vacation like a normal person. I'm not even trying to take more vacation than I...

I just pulled out the hiring document, turns out it doesn't even mention a year!

It says: "you have up to three weeks ordinary vacation each year; no ordinary vacation may be taken during the...

Not quite, because they are not allowing me to use it as I earn it because they want to enforce the "no vacation for first year thing" So after I have worked say 11 months, I would mathematically...

Well I do quite enjoy working for the company, normally i would be so pissed off I would dust off the resume right away. The ownership that runs it is in Edmonton, I get to work in the Calgary branch...

Feeling slightly deceived. I started with a new company in October who poached me from a competitor company. One of the most important factors for me was vacation time which i made clear, I needed to...

I suppose it's not that big of a deal, just curious as to if it has any benefit or not

My meter is on the outside but I think they have to come inside to check all the gas connections etc. Which seems like a lot of hassle. It's at the point now where I am actually curious to see how...

I have been hounded by phone calls saying I'm required to upgrade my Atco Gas meter for quite some time now. I don't really feel like scheduling this and being home all day and bothering with it, so...

I've tried that, it's definitly linked now. It's funny it processes for a few seconds then your regular ID shows up and the screen lights up like a Christmas tree
