the ex oil patchers who are desperate enough to apply for a job at my outfit are still having trouble understanding a) there is no raise forthcoming because you have been here three months and your previous patch jobs gave raises when you asked for one ( true dialogue-- I wish I was imagining this). one guy whinges about insufficient hours but is not willing to start an hour earlier or work an hour later.
to explain my confusion: we hired him for a part-time gig between 6 am an 5:30 pm.. and he doesn't want work the early hours nor the late hours
From the local job placement nonprofit org, we still hearing about former $100 k people declining job offers because of insufficient wages... Folks claim they will do anything... but there is still a group that is convinced the good old days will return
Amercian tech corps will take these soft oil patch office workers and spank their ass if something like amazon sets up in Calgary.

Cliff had mentioned people's motives for working demanding jobs, one factor he mentioned was money. That's why I made the comparison to camp workers up north. Obviously taking that incentive away will deter people from working those jobs. I just think it's a little over the top to suggest they(Amazon) wouldn't be a good fit here because they don't treat their employees well. We live in a province where workers have endured notoriously poor rights and protections for decades, many companies have thrived here by treating their workers like garbage, it's not exactly a radical new concept.
