Yeah… I graduated roughly ten years ago and can absolutely confirm. The cognitive dissonance corporations have is astonishing as they refuse promotions and do frequent layoffs while at the same time complaining that workers aren’t loyal any more. Motherfucker I’d love to be loyal. Give me good pay, good benefits, and job security and I’ll stick around until retirement*, fuck.
*And MAYBE actually offer a retirement plan. Canada (and the US surely) need a huge union comeback
I’ve been working for Costco for the past couple months and honestly I’m incredibly grateful to be working for them.
Even though not every location is affiliated with a union, the entire company is run as if it were a union anyway. Sundays are automatic time and a half, and after 1,000 or so hours worked you get a raise (Sundays also count towards 1.5× hours worked as well). Plus my coworkers are all extremely nice and polite; like moreso than literally anywhere I’ve worked before. Plus we get benefits (health, vision, hearing, etc.) even as a part-time employee.
