5. The board of directors has decided that for the fourth time in four years, to change the way in which you report performance.
6. To keep up, you will have to work even more overtime than you already do, which you don't get paid for.
What would your response be? I know what mine would be.

Sounds good, sign me up. Hell, it'll even be more pay from what I get now.
Have to partially agree with Prentice here. An an outsider looking in, I see tons of industries with above Canadian average wages all because they want a slice of the O&G pay scale and reap the rewards. Costs have inflated and let's be honest, some wages are just obscene for the work people actually do. Move elsewhere for the exact same job and you get a reality check where suddenly you scrape by and lost is the petty complaint about flex days. Meanwhile it's want want want instead of thinking ahead. I look at some unemployed people now who are worried about surviving and knowing how open they wallet was before, it's the exact mentality on how this province has been governed.
It's disgusting that we continue to be shocked that this can happen to us.
But I think the majority of the blame lies on the PC's and the corporate O&G. They have all taken advantage of the alberta advantage, bitched and moaned when we tried to make it sustainable, and now here we are.
