Because we voted Liberal. I'm only half joking, but before Trudeau our GDP per capita was only 2K lower than the US, now it's 30K lower. I know it's more complicated than that, but puts things into comparison.

Now compare the median net worth vs US, or poverty rates, homicide rates...our salaries have definitely not kept up with cost of living but folks are having that same conversation on the other side of the border too.

Too late

Because of people like you willing to accept garbage pay — they offered you a garbage pay, and you accepted it, didn’t you? So why would they pay you a penny more? You created your own problem.

No, it’s supply demand, if no one accepts 200, they have to offer more, but someone accepted 200, someone like you.

I work for a tech company that pays 100k tc plus 50,000 stock options. I have great work life balance, work 4 days per week on a 32 hour schedule plus it’s remote. Lately, I’ve been feeling like the compensation is on the lower end and just wanted to see if it’s in line with industry standards

People at my company claim to be supportive, promote great work culture but there’s actually no support at all just bunch of bs. I am in a situation where im not getting the support from my supervisors, BDs and everyone is fake all the time. I am genuinely putting in the work and not getting the benefits I deserve. What are some good companies to work for in Marketing/advertising in Toronto? Or how would u go about addressing stuff like this ?

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
