O+M - my group head said yes we'll have layoffs due to OneOgilvy

I think that is complete bullshit. It's the people that allowed for them to pull the OneOgilvy propaganda. I almost hope that if it does happen, the trades each that up. Too many talented people at 636.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
