heres my take on Canada post.
Firstly, many people think this is a government company. It is not. It's a privately only corporation. I believe it used to be owned by the federal government, but was privatized awhile ago.
Canada post was in very very bad shape around 2010ish. With email, paper letters/bills etc just disappeared over night. Because of this, they hiked up rates for postage and cut back on their workers benefits and pay.
Fast forward to a year ago... Canada post is doing amazing now because of on line shopping. Go to any CP location and look at the boxes. 75% are amazon lol.. And the rest are other on line retailers.
Rural areas are doing exceptionally well with on line shopping now since rural areas have limited retail within their local area.
Think about it... IF your employer cut your hours, cut your benifits and cut your wage because the company was on the verge of going under 5 years ago and now its doing 100x better...... wouldn't you think you deserve your hours, benefits and wages back?
Many ppl hack on CP workers because they believe they are lazy government employees.. This is a source of many peoples bitching. It's simply not true.
I acknowledge there is some shit CP staff lol... But in every buisiness you will find shit employees. I'm not referring to the shit staff, I'm reffereing to the staff as a whole in my statements above.
