I have enough experience with Telus to say with certainty they always release things to market as fast as possible and their QA is garbage. It's in their DNA. |
Never do direct billing or PAD with them either, always pay adhoc. |

I recall seeing stories about Telus (allegedly) purposely fucking up bills and people were over paying until Telus got called out on it by their own customers. Which leads one to believe that there are many customers out there who have no idea they're paying too much because they've pre-approved payment and don't think twice about it. |
Funny thing, TELUS's online billing portal gives you the option of saving your credit card number in your profile. I typically don't do that, but for TELUS I thought sure, it would be more convenient. It never works! haha Everytime I use their site to do anything with my accounts, it ends up being a waste of time. I only stick with TELUS because I'm getting a decent deal, but yeah I have learned to expect zero quality in a lot of things with them. |

People are still very loyal to Telus, though. So I guess people are okay with it. |

You're less likely to review your bill when it's deducted automatically each month, making it easier for the inevitable funny business to occur on your monthly charges. By pushing rather then allowing them to pull, gives you more leverage to identify any issues with your bill and have it remedied immediately. Never do PAD. |
Jerks! :mad: |

I don't remember which thread was discussing unions but they are all a lie and a waste of time. There's enough laws enacted now that protects workers and their rights. You don't need another layer of fat that's skimming off the top of your salary. Union meetings are absolute cringe wanks. Anytime there's a collective agreement renewal, it's always the same old 'need more! Let's strike!' blah blah blah The union will amp everyone up in proper psuedo-utopian fashion so we can act as their soldiers of righteousness and virtue to 'stick in to the evil management!' Then 2 things happen: A) The night before the supposed strike happens, they settle on a new agreement and little to nothing has changed. Maybe some extra tarter sauce in the cafeteria. Turns out, the union couldn't afford strike pay for its 200 members who were about to walk off the job because 300 members working for a different company across the country might walk too! OR B) We strike, the company gives into our demands and we all pat ourselves on the back for a job well done, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE YOU IN YOUNION! 8...months...later Mass layoffs. Facilities shutting down. You're on your own now. You didn't win. You can't win with a union behind you. It's just legal racketeering. |
If you show up on time for work everyday, a union does nothing for you. They are that irrelevant now. Only like long shore is relevant any longer and it’s really only there to keep the criminal element in the ports. Every other one is trash. I’m in a huge union now and our contract is expired, we aren’t even starting negotiations until the fall. So it will be a year or more until ratification of a new deal and there won’t be retroactive pay increases. So a 3 year contract is effectively 4. Awesome. The vast majority of my colleagues don’t use their benefits, so they are basically getting paid less than the private sector equivalent and not utilizing the “perks” that come with this job. After my experience with the steel workers union who represented Telus workers, legit I hope the people who were in charge of that shit all die. Fucking straight up clowns who did EXACTLY what was outlined above. “We are strong! They can’t replace us! Push back!! We will strike!!” “Telus is offering to not adjust your pension plan, we suggest you accept” 90% of the work force forcibly pushed out Well done. |
Nurses union is absolutely great for the most part. |
Modern labour laws took away much of the unions original mission. In Canada where we are posed to be more socially liberal, most unions in critical industries get legislated back to work before they can even strike. Don't forget unions are a business too, and they need to constantly increase revenue and produce "value" Things that are shitty about unionized jobs. 1. protect shit employees that should be canned 2. live and die by seniority, not merit 3. most drink the union kool aid "us vs them" make unreasonable demands and drive the company into bankruptcy or towards automation. 4. protest technological advancements that will make things efficient for the sake of keeping jobs. |

The rest of us, this concept of like “protection” is irrelevant. If your job is so tenuous you can just be let go and not replaced, your job doesn’t exist anymore, union or not. If your job is one that can’t be easily replaced, and you simply show up on time, even if your work is trash you’re likely not under threat of being fired. |
My sister-in-law's tenants gave them a bunch of clams, which made their way to my father-in-law and he made this: Spoiler! |

Had a client today tell me his credit card bill this month was $30k... It doesn't surprise me because he's a director at a development company and spends $1,200 on a f****n cardigan, but damn. These guys. He said $30k isn't usual, but he's usually hovering around $15-20k a month in his credit card bill..Which is absolutely insane to me. |
