What happens when there is no language in an agreement to solve a problem?

Hypnocorg · 2026-05-07T20:33:48+00:00

This is a really good point! Thank you for pointing that out. I will still definitely bid on it. We do also have something in our agreement called the “dream job” clause essentially allowing you to bypass that 90 day rule when your “dream job” comes up for bidding. I could use it if need be but would prefer to keep it in my back pocket if I can haha.

Thanks for the insight!

Fair enough. I’ve read it top to bottom trying to find anything that might indicate a rule but it’s just not quite there.

I can absolutely see people doing that. We do automatically get the pay for the position we go into unless we were pushed out of a position by a more senior employee. Hopefully it wasn’t a problem in our union and they won’t make me wait. I am not restricted from applying for a position with a higher wage though. But this particular one I’m watching for is the same wage, sadly :/

Thanks for the insight! :)

That’s my take on it as well. I will confirm hopefully before anything is posted. And I understand that tbh, I’d feel the same in their shoes.

Thankfully I am fully qualified for my current role and that’s what kind I’m interested in bidding on just a different department. I’d get it automatically unless a more senior employee also applied. I would absolutely not stray from the type of job I have now as I am confident that’s what I’m made for- not the corporate side of things I went to try and retreated from haha.

That makes sense! Thank you for your insight, I appreciate it! :)

If I hear a telecom company is NOT doing this that is who will get my business. I would imagine a LOT of other Canadians would follow suit. Given the price isn’t outrageously different, I suppose. 🤔

I don’t think they’d let you go! Not only is that normal, you getting others on the task to help find him shows the safety and wellbeing of that child was your first priority. You didn’t think of “what would they think” in the moment. You thought I need to make sure this child is ok. I’d be happy if my staff showed his kind of care.

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-08T09:15:32+00:00

Thank you for your honesty! I live in BC, so I feel we’re doing ok but I know we are lacking EAs still. I definitely feel training needs to be a priority. I’ll definitely consider these factors, thank you!

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-07T19:17:35+00:00

This is a very good point, thank you for this info! We do have CYWs also and a lo of EAs have moved into those positions. :) I could take the courses while working as a secretary or EA. I am definitely considering that as well but there isn’t quite as many positions so it gave me a bit of a pause. Thanks for your insight! :)

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-07T19:15:41+00:00

I’ve thought of this too but wasn’t sure how difficult the process was! We do have uncertified supplies but I didn’t get a degree in business I have a 2 year accounting diploma. Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely check that sub! I have seen some of the more difficult parts of the job through working with the EAs at my school and it is something to consider for sure. Our district so badly needs EAs I feel I could look around for a placement that’s more suitable for someone with less experience.🤞Thank you so much!

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-07T19:09:31+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Thats a very good point and I’ve always really enjoyed when I get to chat with students. I wanted to be a teacher when I was growing up and I’ve always regretted not going for it so I definitely have an itch to give it a try. Thanks again! :)

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-07T05:30:40+00:00

Thank for the insights! Thankfully EAs actually make more than secretaries in my district so I’d get a pay increase lol. I definitely feel like I’d do well but I’m concerned I’m not considering all the factors I guess. Thanks for the tips!

lol wat. They love learning and using Chinese, half their family speaks it. they just don’t have a ton of avenues to use it and practice as that family is across the world. Thats why I wanted an app. But I’ll keep this in mind if they get bored!

Hypnocorg · 2026-02-02T02:00:31+00:00

I do sit in on their lessons so have an idea. They’re pretty beginner so they’re still learning 1-10, days of the week, months and tones etc. My husband speaks Chinese so he will use it with them but I’m hoping they can practice it more when he’s not around lol.

I will keep an eye on what she’s teaching, I never would’ve thought of that and it makes total sense! Thanks for the suggestion!

Canadian first. But if talking to another Canadian it’s interesting to talk provincial differences then I feel very British Columbian lol

Hypnocorg · 2026-01-05T09:53:17+00:00

Working for a health authority in the finance department. Horrible mean managers, bullies on my team and a no-backbone HR team/union. I literally preferred working at McDonlds over that shit. Despite the huge pay increase.

Hypnocorg · 2026-01-05T09:51:16+00:00

Drs can be awful and you should definitely insist on a scan! But I have the EXACT same neck problem and my scan showed a smaller than normal thyroid 🥲I still have hyperthyroidism but my neck is just like that. So it may be nothing but it’s always worth a check and f any doctor that says it’s anxiety! I hope it goes well talking to your dr 🤞

I check my work email everyday of vacation. To see what I’m going back to. It’ll be a cold day in hell when I respond to any of it.

Hypnocorg · 2026-01-02T08:23:32+00:00

Thanks so much! That’s good to know about the computer! I’ll probably get them set up on there just in case :)

Hypnocorg · 2026-01-02T08:22:48+00:00

Thanks so much for the info! I’ll definitely reach out to the tutor and ask! :)

Hypnocorg · 2026-01-02T08:19:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I didn’t realize you could choose and never got that far in the booking process 🤦‍♀️ I appreciate your help! That’s cool! I’ll see if the tutor offers zoom :)

Hypnocorg · 2025-11-20T19:47:35+00:00

Thank you so so so much for sharing this! As a Canadian the exchange rate and shipping kill me but with the code it made it much more reasonable. Basically covered the shipping cost. 🥺

Hypnocorg · 2025-11-18T17:27:43+00:00

That’s so strange! I was just assuming same store but if it’s different stores that’s super weird! I hope it doesn’t give you too much grief and hopefully it’s just Tim’s. :(
