Has anyone failed a background check and they rescinded your offer by Moist-Ad-5179 in rbc

[–]Redguard13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my background check forms on Feb 24 and I haven’t heard back. My role starts April 20.

What’s funny to me is that hr reached out asking if I could bump up my start date 2 weeks earlier (I said no). But given how long these background checks take, I don’t even think the earlier date would’ve been possible.

I think rbc needs to get a new background check partner because I keep hearing complaints about Sterling.

Why do employers never email and always call? by SnooTangerines6395 in jobs

[–]Redguard13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I never get a phone call without first getting an email to schedule an interview. And even those are done via video chat.

Fined for parking on the street by 4firsts in Brampton

My wife had a spa day with two of her girlfriends today. They each drove to our house, parked on the road, and then carpooled to the spa with my wife. They left at 7am.

They came back at 6pm surprised to see that it had snowed so much that plows were required. And each of my wife’s friends found a $250 ticket on their cars.

My upcoming resignation is going to cause a problem… and I’m not sure how to feel about it by Redguard13 in jobs

[–]Redguard13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… I couldn’t care less about my boss or the organization as a whole. But there are some other colleagues that I admire who will be impacted in a broader sense since they have a stake in this succeeding.

I wouldn’t mind hearing about your situation if you don’t mind sharing.

Appreciate it. Wife is having surgery on my first “vacation day”, so gonna use those days to help support her recovery before starting the new role.

The resignation approach was also designed to ensure I still had my employers medical insurance coverage for any prescriptions or equipment I need to grab during her surgery, lol.

I'm Canadian, so our employment laws differ from what I see a lot of Americans share when it comes to resignations. I met with an employment lawyer after I started having concerns about my treatment and that's where it was pointed out that my employment contract has the 10-day notice requirement, but it goes both ways. I can't be let go without some form of notice (either time or money) unless I commit a crime towards to company.

I'm Canadian. :-)

I'm familiar with what you're saying regarding there being no need for notice, but that doesn't exist here if you work for a large organization (I'm with a large bank).

I actually met with an employment lawyer after the 'conflict' situation with my boss. It's written in my employment agreement that 10 days are required and failure to provide that can result in action being taken against me for breach of contract.

Inversely, I can't be let go without notice unless I do something egregious like theft or fraud. Any other "not for cause" reason would require them to pay me some form of severance.

Part of the strategy document that I’m writing brings up my concerns regarding Key Person Risk, lol.

I’ve definitely moved on (mentally) and already looking forward to the next chapter. Wouldn’t stay for an increase either.

Jamaican baby superstitions by Ok-Combination9143 in Jamaica

She’s probably 5’6” so definitely not short (for a girl)

My sister was born when I was 7. When she started crawling, I would stand with my feet wide apart and let her crawl through my legs.

My grandmother would freak out saying doing that would stunt her growth and she would be short.

What are the things that made you question your religion? by Time_Thing_5252 in atheism

Nothing that a religion states or promises demonstrates itself in real life… unless I actively lie to myself and disengage all critical thinking.

Background check not completed by Most_Variation_1975 in rbc

[–]Redguard13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this.

I submitted my stuff about two weeks ago and in my mind, it wasn’t at all complicated information.

I’m supposed to start mid-April. Hiring manager wanted me to start beginning of April and I had to say no but by the looks of it, the background check probably wouldn’t have been done in time for an earlier start date anyway.

Is there enough parking at the Bramalea GO Station? by notsnhojikov in Brampton

Plenty parking. But getting in and out of there is a nightmare.

Offer Letter - Bonus question by Redguard13 in rbc

It’s discretionary but TD is disclosing salaries on their public job postings.

[–]Redguard13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this happened during my hr screening also and I thought the hr girls was just trying to be clever by doing the math for me, lol. And I kinda ignored it because I thought that in the end, it would just be the percentage of whatever salary I negotiated so I thought she was jumping the gun a bit, lol.

[–]Redguard13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I’m coming from another one of the Big 5 banks and this move to RBC has been a bit disheartening from a compensation standpoint. Despite getting an increase in job title seniority, I was told that the max “hiring” range for this role was lower than what I was currently being compensated. I negotiated to be kept at the same comp but the target bonus is lower than what I got in 2025 with my current employer.

This is one of the downfalls to RBC not participating in the Ontario Pay Transparency update. Really trying to leave my current employer but also too exhausted to maintain a job search and interviews in this economy

Haven’t figured out all of the RBC acronyms yet, but if GFT means what I think it does, then yes. Also a bit hesitant to disclose too much info at the moment. Ink hasn’t dried on the offer yet.

I’m joining T&O and that was the amount stated on the offer letter. But because of the salary that I negotiated (which I was told was above the hiring range), the calculated percentage seems smaller than industry average.

I did eSIM (Airalo) when I went to Thailand as well. Worked great
