It's definitely not just one company. I'm sitting here now trying to think of all the places I worked before I moved to Calgary and not one of them stands out as being a job I liked or was treated well at.

Employers take advantage of their employees in every way they can. My first job in home building I took for $9/hr and was promised a raise after the first month. 5 months later I was still asking for a measely little $1/hr raise and he wouldn't give it to me. I won't even bother getting into all the other crap I had to deal with, it's too long and too frustrating a story to relive. I left that place and waited months to get my final paycheque. Took another job for $10/hr. Was told I would get a raise there too, but to no one's surprise, it never happened.

I'd like to move back too, being that I don't know many people in Calgary, all of my family and most of my friends live back there, but unless the economy does a 180, I won't be going back there for anything other than retirement.
