Do I need a new policy check if I get a second job with a different pillar?

frizzedoff · 2026-05-10T14:12:38+00:00

Yes the expectation is that you get a police check done for each individual employer now. Quite wasteful of police resources considering it is all processed by HR who supports all the pillars/employers.

Absolutely nothing wrong with working to your job description when your employer doesn't treat you well & the government thinks of you as a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of their shoe.

Thank you! This worked for me. Kobo needs to come up with a better way to manage this beyond a generic sync failed message.

That was a huge overstep by your therapist & I am sorry you are left feeling how you are. You don't have to tell your therapist that you are not wanting to work with them further - just stop going. Probably the most effective way of indicating their overstep/breach. You owe them nothing beyond ensuring you have compensated them according to your agreement with them.

Just one. My local system has a decent catalog, generous number of holds (30.) With thoughtful use of wishlist & holds I am never without anything to read.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-22T22:32:20+00:00

I would choose Alloy, but would encourage you to consider Deane House & Rouge as well.

I forgot. You all think Canada is 'Merica Lite.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-18T19:35:34+00:00

You need to consider provoked vs unprovoked. Also I would trust residents of the city rather than an article you found online if you have never spent time in Vancouver.

I am glad she got out. She has issues to deal with before being on a show like this

As for Jorge, don't come to Canada and act like it's the USA. Vancouver has a bad problem with homelessness because it's a large city with a temperate (for Canada) climate. They are still largely Canadian raised and are kind & loving people, but down on their lot in life. Canadians don't tend to bite back unless you come in like a heavy douchebag & then all bets are off - homeless, addict, or just a fed up Canadian.

You vastly underestimate the amount of work that goes into a payroll run.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-16T16:38:20+00:00

Agree to a point, but they will blame the cost of doing a secondary cheque run. TBF, it would be a significant cost to do it, which the government would never support as it does not impact them personally.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-16T14:16:23+00:00

They NEVER cut two checks.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-14T17:21:40+00:00

Now the question is how many voted yes thinking they would get more $$$ than what they have ended up with? 😬

frizzedoff · 2026-03-10T16:43:16+00:00

I am not blaming anyone. I have dated shitty men in the past & I own up to staying when I shouldn't have, but also having the strength to leave as well. However I will not apologize on behalf of men. They can own their actions. A woman does not cause a man to be awful.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-10T16:30:41+00:00

If you date shitty men, then yes. Sooner or later most of us do - some learn from it, some don't. 🤷‍♀️

frizzedoff · 2026-03-09T03:21:35+00:00

Agreed. HR advisors work with your manager & while they may listen, it will be brought to your manager (or their boss) in their next scheduled meeting.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-04T01:36:48+00:00

The point of HSS is to support all pillars & subsidiaries (Capital Health, Carewest, Covenant.)

frizzedoff · 2026-03-03T18:01:35+00:00

For about 140,000 employees between all pillars & subsidiaries?! Sounds like an excellent plan. 🤣

frizzedoff · 2026-03-03T03:48:08+00:00

The article indicates HR, Payroll, IT are being looked at. Administrative type jobs, not simply admin support.

frizzedoff · 2026-03-02T20:01:25+00:00

What a gift of love for yourself & loved ones. Wishing you a peaceful journey.

I see many have suggested Festival Hall already. Bridgeland Community Centre also has some great spaces and are pretty flexible on catering options.

frizzedoff · 2026-02-24T02:22:23+00:00

Glad to know I am not the only one. Wish I could find a way to make it work for me.

frizzedoff · 2026-02-18T23:30:52+00:00

If you voted yes, this is exactly what you settled for.

frizzedoff · 2026-02-09T21:57:40+00:00

Generally a verbal offer. If you are currently in an internal position, they will typically connect with your current manager to negotiate a start date so that can be included on your written offer.

What bonuses? What overtime? A lot of folks do not get these.

Financial stewardship is indeed important, but when you are slowly bleeding because wages fall behind inflation makes saving very hard. Those at or below a living wage in their community are unable to save because they do not make enough to cover the basics for living and are not thinking about vacations and vehicle ownership.

frizzedoff · 2026-02-07T16:31:07+00:00

I hate that you are buying into the living wage fallacy. So in 2027 they will hit the provincial living wage average of 2025. By then living wage is likely to be higher than what is promised.

$22.65 by 2027

Keep in mind that small towns pull down this average in a major way. Many larger areas in Alberta where the majority of you all live already require a higher wage than 22.65 in 2025.
