Is it me or is it super hard to get a job in a Canadian bank? I've tried referrals, getting extra certificates to stand out and managed to get a little financial background. What is it? I heard the nepotism there is unreal. I've applied to Scotiabank at least 31 times i the last 2 years - 75% of the jobs i should've minimum got a screening call.

I can’t speak to banks specifically but with those automated systems I have always felt like once you get rejected once your profile is flagged somehow (idk if this is actually true but I’ve had similar experiences applying at other companies multiple times for different roles ).

I would honestly try making a new email address/login and making sure your resume/cover letter pulls keywords from the job posting if you haven’t already

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

I’m scared COVID is just beginning and we’ll see climate change lockdowns and huge restrictions in the next years.

Like travel will probably be restricted for “essential reasons only”. We won’t be able to buy meat as often, etc.

I’m also scared that the QR vaccine passports for entertainment (like in Europe, Canada and NYC) will never disappear and that we’ll keep have to keep using them for our booster shots and maybe climate reasons.
(I’m fully vaxx-for now, untl they require more doses)

Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises. We asked HR but they didn’t do anything about it. Is this normal? Is this legal? If not, what else can we do about it?

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.
