    I assume he divided what he got by his average weekly pay and came to that number.

    End of the day we argue about weeks and months and hours, the only number that matters is the final $ amount.

    The 0.3 was "in lieu of benefits during the notice period" or something.

    Dammit man. Sorry to hear that.

    Any word on the Lloyd side?
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    Thanks everyone, been a mix of emotions. Glad to get past the uncertainty of the OG world but at the same time need to figure out what I want to do next. Not to mention I now have a house in Edson to sell or rent out haha..fun times
    Not sure about the Lloyd office, I was the Operations Engineer for the Edson district.

    Meanwhile, at the University Of Alberta, apparently there is someone gainfully employed within the Faculty Of Engineering:

    She's quite a fan of Instagram, which is where she publically posted all of ^that. Some might think it a bit odd to have such contrarian opinions about engineering, but that's none of my business. It's brave. It's 2021.
    Seems fair. Seems equitable.

    Just took a flip through her instagram. Looks completely aside, I find her repulsive... like personality-wise.

    She must do a good job of becoming another person IRL in order to swindle someone into hiring her to support a profession she so passionately hates.

    I also don't care what she looks like, but if you want to shit all over a profession while working in the very faculty of a university that educates people for that profession... That's an interesting stance.

    But it's not the first time the UofA Eng Faculty has had someone on their staff who voices their disapproval very publically about engineering or APEGA. Curt Stout had his LinkedIn battle a few years ago, although he may have been out of the university by that point.

    With such a lack of diversity in engineering you probably shouldn't hire one. All engineers are same.

    Doesn't look old enough to have that much spite on suggested rejection. Just wait until she realizes you can be penalized for effort.

    I heard from someone that Cenovus/Husky was giving 1.5 months per year of service. Can anyone verify? I would have thought it would be closer to 4 weeks per year of service max. 6 weeks per year of service seems really high but i suppose not impossible.

    Supposedly the multiplier was slightly less than 1.5 months but not far off. That is assuming (all-in comp) / (years of service).

    I say supposedly because I was lucky enough to be kept around. That's based off comments from three friends.

    Jeebus Harold McChrist!
    I got 6 weeks total for over 8 years of service a few years ago. One of these things is not like the other.
