I am slowly getting organize. My problem is my crazy work schedule, there's no way to get around it. I got my investment transferred over my TFSA. The investments are there. So next time I published an update of my investment portfolio, you'll see much more stuff inside my TFSA. These days, KEG.UN decided to perform very well. So this is giving me the opportunity to have the stock transferred over before it hit even bigger in value. I am really that smart!!!! Gees.......... Could that be very true????
Anyway, true or nor, I had found the true colors of my Montreal employer today. Back in May 2012, I accepted a contract for the period of May to September 2012. At the end of the contract, I was promised a $500 bonus if I wouldn't miss a day of work during that period. I didn't miss a day of work and I worked all summer long. Following what, shortly before the term of the contract, I was offer a permanent position. And what happen is that just yesterday, I asked them about the $500 bonus, saying it was never paid to me and I asked if it will be paid. Well, the human resources guy did not answer me, but the Vice President did. And she answered me that she had explained to me when I signed the permanent contract that the $500 wouldn't be paid because it was something giving as a "leaving bonus". But she never did so. We only signed the contract for the permanent job, but nothing had been said during that meeting about my $500 bonus. I was pretty insulted today and i will do all I can to find another job.
Imagine this: you spend 4 months at a job, learning the place, replacing each and anyone going on vacations, you don't have the right yourself to go even not one day in vacation and at the end of the contract period, or when it supposed to be end, you cannot even get the bonus you had been promised.
Quebeckers are liars and cheaters and I got another living proof of that today. They have to lie to cover their terrible moves. I am not a liar, I am not a cheater and I have a very good memory. I remember my meeting with the Vice-President for the signature of my permanent position perfectly well and nothing have been said about the $500 bonus.
The job is very hard and not allowing an employee, even a contractual one, to take any vacation at all during 4 long months without giving anything back in return, well, its pretty much inhuman. Its giving me a real sense of the poor quality of the people I am directly dealing with.
And don't ever thing it will end this way. I want their supervisors to find out about this and I am ready to but some shit in.
I never been happy in Quebec and now has come the time to leave but before, let's burn them down.

Why would a company mention that in the meeting when you were offered the permament position? It would be money out of there pocket. That being said, it looks bad on them.
4 months without a day off. Some places won't let you take vacation unless your worked for 12 months. You can always call in sick when you want a day off as sometimes this lie is the best thing to do.
Crappy employer! So are you leaving Quebec?? Where are you going? There are many provinces that may be better. I live around Toronto which is okay.. it always has jobs.. ha! I'm certainly selling Toronto huh? Its not my favorite place.. ;) But I don't have the complaints you have about Quebec. I know some people who love Vancouver (which seems too expensive to me.. but if you are renting could be fine!). There seems to be a fair amount of employers in Calgary trying to hire employees to come to Calgary.. though I don't know what it would be like there... Any thoughts on your future moves and past experiences?
What do you think about your darling Derek Foster now? Take a look at what I found, thanks to his last newsletter:

I guess you could get fired and collect the $500?
Now that I know the true nature of my employer, I will leave as soon as I can find something else.
Very very bright Sean.
Hi Christine,
Yeah, very crappy employer! I never had very good experiences in Quebec. People are sick to dead here.
I work in Ottawa in the past. I find it very hard for work in Ottawa. And I find there's too many Quebeckers who have government positions. I also worked in Quebec City for a short period - it has a very difficult workplace too I find.
It may be difficult to find something else but I am confident I will be able to leave Quebec province by the end of the year.
Hi Sunny-Be grateful that you have a job. Many Canadians don't.

Enjoying the nice move in JE today? R U still holding it?
You have bunch of useless stocks, you better clean up those garbage and buy high quality stocks to avoid the next disaster
just energy is a dog look it go below one dollar like yellow pages better sell now before you lose all your investment. this is the risk of stock investing.
Yes, Just is a big bad dog! The company derives its gross profit from the difference between the price at which it is able to sell the commodities to its customers and the related price at which it purchases the associated volumes from its suppliers. They are losing customers big time. The price of natural gas is too low to lock in a fixed rate contract with Just Energy at a premium.
