Please no. With the oil downturn we can finally find qualified software devs to hire... the last thing we need is Google snapping them up!

  Why you want to depress our wages ?

    No, just supply. During the more heated oil years no one was looking for a job. And this might come as a surprise, but that actually makes it really hard to hire, even if you have competitive offers. This might be different in other markets where job hopping is common and the overall supply of qualified hires is high (Edmonton often loses out to Calgary and Vancouver), but you don't see that as much here, unfortunately.

      Same difference you just weren't offering enough $ or an interesting job to attract people.
