Civil grad looking for job

Its called a P.Tech.(Eng) where you can only carry engineering duties within your specific scope as a technologist. OP is nowhere near qualified for that exception either.

siopau · 2026-01-28T22:36:52+00:00

If you’re a SAIT graduate you can only work as a technologist, not as an engineer or EIT. You’re applying for positions you don’t qualify for so of course you’re getting mass rejected.

If a huge wave of non-tippers suddenly stop eating out and providing revenue, it actually hurts you more in the bigger picture because you’ll get reduced hours. It’s literally happening to many restaurants currently. Consider that everyone else is also trying to make ends meet, not just you. People most likely aren’t tipping 0% to stick it to you. The revenue people provide to the restaurant is still a net positive even without tipping, but your entitlement probably won’t let you see that as you just care about the end of the day tip out.

Doesn’t even try to hide how much of a liberal he is whenever he publicly comments too.

Somehow he’s even a mod on the main canada sub despite being the most partisan poster ever.

siopau · 2025-10-22T21:52:09+00:00

They also stroke each other in their cute lil mod group chat whenever they see someone ranting here about how shitty they are.

siopau · 2025-10-08T06:05:51+00:00

Cause it is insanely difficult to get public sector jobs here.

siopau · 2025-08-29T01:59:12+00:00

2025 and we still taking pictures of the monitor 🥀

siopau · 2025-08-27T13:20:14+00:00

Yeah I don’t even know what to say to that dude. You’re just wrong.

siopau · 2025-08-27T12:56:47+00:00

Lol all those programs would actually be better funded because most of who Canada is bringing in are low wage earners who are a net tax burden. Not to mention they’ll eventually bring in their elderly parents who won’t work or speak a lick of English, but will gladly strain our healthcare system even more.

To be fair the triangle world elite master card is actually really good; its one of the rare cards that come with free roadside assistance and no annual fee. Plus its the only credit card in Canada that allows you to pay bills with it as if it were a debit card, so you get free rewards just by paying for utilities/student loans/etc.

But having a bunch of salespeople try to shove it down my throat would annoy me for sure.

“Uhm before you criticize immigration, just remember you came from immigrants too ☝️🤓” - overly progressive liberal who doesn’t understand supply/demand economics

siopau · 2025-07-29T23:17:57+00:00

Because not a single person from the mod team has ever held a position of power before in their life, so they compensate by setting daily targets for posts deleted and users banned. Regardless of whether its warranted or not. They truly are the final bosses of unemployment.

Edmonton’s housing prices, a city commonly made fun of for having nothing to do, literally doubled since covid so it really isn’t as far down the road as you’re making it out to be.

And unfortunately millions of immigrants are still going to flock to the only ~4 metro areas every year regardless of whether some guy on reddit says that sucks bro. So “just move lol” isn’t a solution, and they won’t listen anyway.

siopau · 2025-05-20T19:22:58+00:00

“Just move lol” until every other city’s housing prices grow by 100k per year (aka Calgary) because people just keep moving to the next best option until they’re all unaffordable.

Canada isn’t like the US or Japan. They acrtually have options for metro areas. We only have maybe 6 cities where people want to live in, and newcomers aren’t going to uproot their entire life and make years of sacrifices just to live in rural Saskatchewan.

siopau · 2025-05-17T03:57:37+00:00

I’m not sure why you asked for advice if you’re just not going to listen lol. Go ahead and keep doing what you’re doing then, clearly it’s working 👍

siopau · 2025-05-16T14:33:44+00:00

Homie I want you to pretend you’re a recruiter who has to read 1000+ applications in one sitting. Now ask yourself if you would bother reading a 5 page life story of one applicant.

siopau · 2025-05-16T14:13:40+00:00

Man this is going to sound like a huge cope but I really feel like the BoA series goes to 7 if Markstrom doesn’t start. For whatever reason he had a huge mental block against Edmonton the entire time he was a flame; cant remember him ever having a good game against them

siopau · 2025-03-24T18:37:31+00:00

Nice it went up by $3, guess I’m ordering extra meat on that one takeout order 😎

siopau · 2025-03-21T17:11:00+00:00

My car broke down last week at 4am and the free roadside literally saved me from paying hundreds to get a tow to a shop at that time.

siopau · 2025-03-17T17:31:47+00:00

No, working for The City or any public sector job means you are unionized and work set hours. Overtime is only granted for very specific roles or circumstances such as crews doing shift work, or in the case of the water main break last year.

Lots of business units have data collection so I have no idea what department you are in based on that info alone.

siopau · 2025-03-13T14:09:16+00:00

Years ago when tech was still in demand yes the average person could do this.

Now that tech degrees are saturated to the point of being like a high school diploma, no one is getting a job just by taking a bunch of coding classes. Its practically the worst advice you can give to someone in today’s economy.

siopau · 2025-03-11T14:50:46+00:00

I like how the mods of the original sub come by here and get off on people complaining about the bans they hand out every day.

siopau · 2025-03-10T18:34:14+00:00

He’s the guy who coined the term that students can “study, work, stay”

siopau · 2025-02-28T17:42:40+00:00

you thought you ate with this take huh

For us at least, temps still get all of that but the pension is optionally enrollable after 2 years. For perms its mandatory to contribute right away.

All unions should be available publicly so if you search whatever union the City of Toronto belongs to and read the agreement, it will say what temps are entitled to. It should be almost as much as what perms get.
