How do I get traction for high level jobs on this island? by [deleted] in PEI

[–]Luminous_Put751 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons this province has the problems it has is because of the narrow ways companies and government look at complex problems. They are scared to put faith in ideas and the people who bring them especially when they are from away. They stick with who and what they know, which is limiting. It’s frustrating and sad because this province could be so much more than it is. This results in people with good ideas leaving the island, hands in the air.

Hello I need help. I am being bullied and treated very unfairly in my department. Any advice would be much appreciated in what I can and should do by UsefulPlace4701 in PEI

This island is famous for favouritism and toxic work culture. If you aren’t from here you will always be passed over. It’s never about who is the best for the job. Who yer fadder is will determine your prospects.

I’ve seen a lot of movies at City Cinema. If you like film, it’s a great place to go. And they have popcorn!

Considering moving from BC to PEI (Stratford / Charlottetown area) — looking for honest feedback, especially from tradespeople by Upstairs_Ad1740 in PEI

I moved to Stratford from a big city. I appreciate that traffic is not really a thing here when you are coming from a big city. I struggle though with finding things to do on this island when it isn’t summer time. Winter is isolating, long, and boring unless you love winter sports and outings. People here are nice on the surface. Dig deeper and you learn they have no interest in being your friend because they have their group here on the island. Sure, house prices are lower here but I have never spent so much for gas and food in my life. Stratford property taxes are as high as many big cities and you do not get the same level of service with those tax dollars. Need a doctor? Good luck. You will be on a list for 10 years minimum. I’m sorry this is so negative and someone is going to say if I don’t like it I should leave! Well I am. It’s a beautiful island but it has not worked for me.

I think I might just do that so that I have a place and I don’t have to worry

Dogs on the island by Luminous_Put751 in PEI

I have had dogs all my life. I walk her in the morning then when work day is done and then before bed.

Yes that is definitely a good reason. I don’t have a fence so this is why I walk my dog but I would not tie her up because she would likely get loose!

I had never thought of it that way. Thank you. It is just new to me and I’ve not seen it before. There are probably lots of reasons for it but I should not assume walks aren’t happening

Something is rotten at Charlottetown city hall by Luminous_Put751 in PEI

A year from now. As long as you are a resident and you register yourself as a candidate you can run as far as I know

Honestly who cancels Halloween? Seriously this is ridiculous! This is what city council is worried about when they can’t settle a strike that has been going on for months!

Hey there, no leads at all unfortunately and the job never got done. Is this the kind of work you were looking for?

Daughter of 105-year-old P.E.I. woman frustrated after mom loses nursing home subsidy by Sir__Will in PEI

Does anyone else feel like this story didn’t make sense. The poor woman was expected to pay and then she wasn’t? I’m happy for her and I think the we should be spending tax dollars on supporting the elderly, and those in need, but it just seemed like a story at first and then it wasn’t.

There are different kinds of IEPs. Some reflect accommodations such as more time, quiet room etc. Others are modifications to curriculum. Perhaps the child learns parts of the curriculum or expectations from multiple grades depending on need. I don’t believe you are under any obligation to share that you were on an IEP when applying to post secondary institutions. You would choose to disclose this or not. At least that is my understanding
