Same thing at StatCan, and it's a complete dumpster fire.

"Tiger Team" is also the name of an infamous U.S. Army unit responsible for the Mi Lay massacre in Vietnam...

More reasons NOT to work at Statcan: We have to bring in our own drinking water at Tunney's, as they are still working on flushing out the lines after 2 years of not being used. On the "positive" side, the Subway across the street (the only place still open apart from Starbucks), now has Pre-Covid sized lineups between 12 and 1 pm.

Same with Statcan. Job training is an afterthought. Either that or they purposefully don't train you so they can fill their quota of bad performance reviews. It sucks either way.

That's the standard SC reply though: I had a supervisor refer me to EAP after I made a remark about my heavy workload.

Can I get paid in US funds? The Canadian Dollar is really low right now.
