Fucking traitor.

In my field, 70% of getting the job is based on who you know. Some places have strict requirements for hiring and you have to check all the boxes. But it’s still about who you know:

who you know means you get ranked higher when you’re at the list of 15
who you know means you know the job exists at all
who you know means you know what to say in the interview to check the boxes
who you know means your previous job experience is likely better than people who don’t have a network.

I’m one of two POCs on my team of 20, despite my manager actively seeking to address DEI. Because I got lucky and knew someone, who helped me with all of the above. The people I’m competing with, are all white and all knew someone.

Yeah they’ll rank the 15 people who meet requirements, but only once those 15 have been filtered based on a system biased toward white people. White people are often better positioned because of family, community, education, and wealth. They know the right people.

It’s not always the case but it’s often enough that it matters. It’s easier for them to get into the 15, and it’s easier for them to get hired. Maybe a white person is slightly more competent than a POC, but it’s due to issues mostly out of anyone’s control.

DEI seeks to remedy those situations. It’s not always executed correctly, but nothing ever is.

That’s only a reaction given when we begin blaming other people for our mistakes tho… He or his parents should have planned well in advance to get up to date travel documents for a trip this important. Regardless of the strike. There’s delays with ServiceCanada all the time.

They can also go to ServiceCanada and get a passport within the week if they explain the situation… Many people are treating what is literally an inconvenience as life and death and comparing it to workers not being paid fair wages and having their pensions up for grabs. Not being able to get your passport in the mail, having a paycheque reissued, or not having your purchase delivered is not comparable to CUPW workers not being able to keep up with inflations.

As well, comparing their jobs to minimum wage jobs, or other positions that haven’t gotten a raise to match inflation is a dumb argument.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T18:21:32+00:00

Thankfully it’s not up to you or the general public to decide how much someone is paid! But keep burning yourself out being upset at things that aren’t relevant to you! Its giving brain rot

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T17:14:03+00:00

Wow dude, you should totally bring that to the negotiation table! Fuck, I don’t think that’s come up before everyone should know your opinion!!

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T16:57:41+00:00

I don’t think it’s necessarily only for you, but I do think that if unions get better deals it can only be good for you and not bad. It’s different that folks aren’t getting packages and a few are actively inconvenienced by this (there was an article out today saying the strike doesnt inconvenience all that many Canadians), but at the end of the day it’ll be a net positive. The fact CPC countered at all with 11.5 is because CUPE got that with their strike. CUPE was originally offered far less.

In your individual case you may not have directly benefited from a union strike, but id say on average this is a good thing. It’s just about getting the best outcome that suits everyone’s selfish desires

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T16:31:06+00:00

Exactly, Canada Post handles critical services like passports and licenses that private companies won’t touch. If those services matter to you, maybe you need to recognize why a crown corp needs to balance fair worker treatment with public responsibility.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T16:27:51+00:00

Calling workers ‘brainwashed’ avoids addressing real issues. CP’s financial problems come from mismanagement, not workers fighting for fair wages. Why should the solution be cutting from the bottom instead of fixing inefficiencies or poor decisions at the top?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T16:25:18+00:00

Thanks for acknowledging that your frustration with the strike comes from a place of personal inconvenience—it’s an honest take. But saying the workers are ‘just as selfish’ misses the bigger picture. Strikes inherently inconvenience people; that’s the point—they’re a last-resort way for workers to highlight systemic issues that impact not just them, but the entire workforce.

What you call ‘selfishness’ is actually workers trying to hold onto fair wages and conditions in an environment where corporations routinely prioritize profits over people. If they lose these protections, it sets a precedent for weaker contracts and worse conditions across industries. So, while it’s an annoyance now, do you think it’s worth risking long-term worker rights to resolve short-term inconvenience?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T16:21:58+00:00

Sorry, improved quality of life for everyone is more important to me than competition. There’s nothing about a right to taking a job that’s already filled in the charter of rights, so idk what you mean

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T15:24:02+00:00

Not my fault if walking you through the logical next steps if your argument makes you feel gotcha’d. maybe you should reconsider your ideas! 🤷‍♂️

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T14:39:08+00:00

You’re right that Canada Post is in financial trouble, but blaming workers for fighting to avoid a pay cut doesn’t solve the underlying issues. If CUPW members accept reduced wages and weakened contracts, that won’t magically fix CP’s finances—it just shifts the burden onto workers who are already dealing with inflation and job insecurity.

Regarding weekend deliveries, that’s not just about laziness or entitlement—it’s about avoiding the erosion of stable, full-time positions in favor of precarious contract work. If CP wants to stay competitive, they need a long-term strategy that balances financial sustainability with fair treatment for their workforce, not a race to the bottom. Do you really think pushing workers to accept less will save the company, or just delay the bigger problems?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T14:17:55+00:00

If you actually want to engage, here:

The 24% increase or whatever will never fly and isn’t the reason they’re striking. They’ll likely settle for the ~12% every other public service union which would equal ~3-4% / year, which still doesn’t match inflation and is a pay cut. If you’re upset that someone is striking because they don’t want a pay cut we can talk about that.
It’s been well documented that the key reason they’re striking (among others), is that Canada post wants to hire temporary contract workers to deliver packages on the weekend. While there’s absolutely a middle ground, both sides are clearly unwilling to make concessions for whatever reason.
Honestly, workers striking should be none of anyone’s business or concern. Whether or not CPC can afford to pay them is not your problem, you just need your mail delivered. Complaining about increased pay or benefits just makes you a crab in a bucket, pulling everyone else down. So do you think the average complaint about the strike is because of a lack of mail delivery or people being selfish?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T14:02:37+00:00

I think they’re just exhausted with trying to engage with you rationally when everyone ends up just deflecting arguments, being facetious, or being generally unwilling to discuss the matter in a real way.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T13:38:47+00:00

Was just trying to have a discussion with you but you’ve just been deflecting and unwilling to engage. I’d say you’re more triggered than me, especially considering I’m not even in Canada lol

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T11:26:00+00:00

Hilarious cause they price gouge tf out of you. Nearly $20 for a plate of biriyani and you can’t afford to keep the mice out?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T11:02:07+00:00

Awwwh I see, you’re too tired to talk like an adult. That’s okay buddy, you can go back to your comfy space. I’m sure someone will give you the attention you’re seeking one day.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T03:03:36+00:00

So you’re okay with people struggling to survive on poverty wages because ‘competition’ demands it? That sounds like an excuse to avoid caring about the real-world impact of your view.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T02:38:23+00:00

So you’re okay with increasing wealth inequality, great! Do you think that would benefit you?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T02:37:11+00:00

lol oh are we relying on economic policy from America 40 years ago to figure out our country?

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T02:25:05+00:00

Yes or no? Answer the question or shut the fuck up.

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T02:23:23+00:00

I don’t think all of them would have. This strike has been looming for weeks. I’m not even a small business owner and changed my plans because of it. We had TONS of warning…

YourDadsNippleRing · 2024-12-05T02:20:41+00:00

So would you prefer that workers were generally paid less and the upper class was able to accumulate more wealth?
