I think Klein is Canadian ??? If that is the case then this new job will most likely be in the oil industry.
My area has numerous oil refineries. If I were to lose my UPS job I'd get a job at an Oil refinery. Because of the better pay, benefits and such. Basically the only job in my area with better pay and benefits than a UPS driver. | |

Klein,
I do not know all the details of your "unemployment" situation--and it is none of my business. Hope the comments on this thread are all in jest and good fun.
In reality I wish you good luck with your employment in the future. | |

And yes, it's all fun, like BC is. Quote:

| That is a huge big option. It's not uncommen to earn $1000 a day in the Alberta Oil Sands.
City Refineries pay less, but atleast your home everyday.
That would require more schooling, but I have that option.
I think if I don't pass this upcomming interview, I'll consider re-schooling for the oilfied.
Or maybe just something simple as a truckers drivers licence.
Depends when classes would start, and how long they are (for oilfield). Quote: |

| I haven't heard to much of that here (being liked) LOL. But, thanks very much pick up.
I'm on this site because I like all you guys & gals , too. I know the hard work you do every day, and how management is towards all of you.
We get your upper management flown into Canada (our centers), now and then. With the same message, work harder, more salesleads, perfect delivery times, no misses , or lates, etc.
Anyways, Sept. 24th, is my interview, among with 7 others (I assume that, because they gave me an option of 8 different times that day).
Haven't heard back, if my desired time was accepted , yet. But, I should this week.
If I don't get the job, it's not the end of the world for me.
But, I do like the potential employer, and would be proud working for them. | |

as for "so many jobs here. but almost getting too old for retraining, sucks"
could be worse like "no jobs here" . Keep your head up and do the best you can . I assume the unemployment checks are coming in. Take advantage of this time to find something that is as close as good fit to something you would like doing. Best of luck.

Best of luck. | Yes, they are rolling in (direct deposit, actually), at the equalvilent of $15/hr.
They changed some rules here..and are even changing it more for the better.
It's going by lenght of Employment, past income, and how often you used Insurance.
I'm entitled to 43 weeks of pay, and 104 weeks if I go back to school.
Pretty good system here.
But, remember , we do pay for it (every single paycheck, and higher taxes overall).
I will hear bad feedback from the rightwingers now.
But, maybe one day, if they get laid off, or fired, they wished, they would have a better social net to catch them, from falling ?
And , ofcourse, I still have free healthcare.
I search for jobs, apply for the ones I like, and pay well.
Might take some time, but better then doing something with less pay, and something I hate doing.
Because if you quit, there is no Insurance in place. Your stuck !
The system has a fault there. I agree. Makes people stay on Insurance longer.. to find that perfect job. | |

West Germany , added 1/3 of a new poor population, and needed new hospitals, etc, in the east.
Thats the price to pay.
Did you see West Germans ralley ? Demostrate ?
Was actually backwards, the East Germans did... wanted more and more.
But, they did it.
Everyone has social bennies. Including the new 30%.
And you are fighting over 1 single issue - healthcare. !
A healthcare system, that is the most expensive in the world, 2nd to Canada at half the cost.
Europeans countries even pay less per capita, and Austrailia.
And UPS workers like UK guy, or that news article, that UPS worker with sick children...
They get fired. And you need to wonder if it was under pressure of the Insurance company.
And all of a sudden lose all healthcare bennies. | |

Thats the problem with people that demand a social net to catch them when they jump or fall. Eventually, there are not enough of the payers to keep up the ones that wont.
