I can't believe it's so low. I hope Canadians aren't asked to put in overtime at those wages.

- breitling 9y agoYou better believe it. Overtime is expected.
- brunoc 9y agoMaybe where you work. Not expected everywhere at all.
- tostitos1979 9y agoNot the same as the US. In the US, if you lose your job, you lose health care. That is a big motivator for people with families. I've seen people take a lot of crap in the name of a job. In Canada, it is not that bad unless you took a crazy mortgage in the last 5 years.
- caffodian 9y agoIt's even more fun, in BC "high technology companies/professionals" are exempt from a bunch of the usual labour laws around overtime, hours of work, stat holidays, etc. http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/employment-standards-advice/employment-standards/factsheets/high-technology-companies http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/employ... Of course, in practice, no sane company is going to abuse this to the extreme. People do get stat holidays, overtime isn't usually used, etc.
