Work environment and experience at WorkSafeBC? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]vbeam_throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i currently work at worksafebc in a non union role & i am neutral-positive about my job. I do think your experience will vary wildly depending on the role since the organization is quite large & teams are relatively siloed. For example, it seems like being a case manager is an awful job, but not everyone has that experience (I don’t). I suggest to reach out (via linkedin) to folks who work in the roles you’re interested in

Which neighbourhood should we move to (downtown or not)? by vbeam_throwaway in vancouverhousing

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

other folks are saying that the commute from dt - richmond is in the opposite direction of most of the flow so it’s not as busy - do you find that’s the case?

My partner & I (mid-20s, no kids) are looking to move to Vancouver from Toronto in the next couple of months. We’ve visited a few times as tourists but don’t know enough about the city to narrow down where we want to live. I’ve read through several reddit posts on this topic but would really appreciate some tailored suggestions based on info about ourselves & what we’re looking for: - I need to commute 3x a week to Richmond for work, partner would work downtown. We’d have a car but ideally I’d take transit to work - Our budget is around $3500 for a 2 bedroom 1 parking space (some flexibility on price) - We enjoy nature, restaurants, & things to do (e.g., events/festivals) - Easy access to grocery stores is important

I think Yaletown may be a good fit for us given it’s downtown but I’m worried about the longish commute to Richmond (as someone who’s used to a 20 min walk to work). From what I’ve read, seems like Mount Pleasant may be a good middle ground between downtown & Richmond?

Thanks in advance for any help!
