The business side tells me ...
Good for them
If they can get more $$$ in their pockets, why not ?
My business side also tells me...
As a consumer, I want them to be paid as least as possible so I pay less. Regardless of how great the work is done or if they are in the executive level or technical core |

this pretty much sums up why everyone's mad lol
I can think of many line of work that is requires equal amount of "hard work" or requires "being in the cold weather" with similar qualifications yet pays less.

I don't think knowing a hydro employee helps a lot. You need to know someone with impact on the hiring process. My friend has been trying for a while and has a relative working there and still can't get in. He's qualified.

He's qualified. | My wife originally worked for Hydro, she got her job mainly because her Aunt who was working there recommended her, that was like 14 years ago though maybe things have changed.

my friend's case it was his sister...but i believe she was more administrative where my friend is an engineer so being in different dept might be why

They also love to SPEND instead of SAVE. New Dodge RAM3500, alcohol, whores, snowmobiles etc. The debt they incur pretty much forces them to live up there forever. | Your name says it all.

I would reckon employees from FortisBC are paid almost as high. In fact, part of your 'incentive payment' is stock options if you're exempt (non-union); and the dividends stream has been increasing moderately since Day 1

If I had to choose between more money / less time and less money / more time, I'd probably opt for the latter. I guess I view life differently. I value my personal time more than dolla dolla bills.
