As a person who grew up here, these are spot-on! The toughest ones for the unfortunate introverts are small talk, collaboration (you work better alone yet you're pulled into group brainstorms that literally could've been more efficiently done in a smaller setting but noooo, they like you to think everyone else 'helped'😒), performance reviews (again, depending on the company, it's a lot of self-glorifying BS-writing an outline on what you did and how you helped others), and teambuilding that range from cringey barely-bearable (though extroverts seem to enjoy these more..!aka happy hour but fear not, there's no absolute pressure to drink if alchol isn't your thing bc 'we all nice people').

I'm a born and raised Candian and want to say I LOVE your channel. It's so helpful to hear your perspectives on Canada. I think long-time Canadians take so many of these attributes as given and I wish everyone knew more about these qualities. Us Canadians are VERY conflict avoidant so maybe it would help with some workplace issues caused by simple cultural differences.

Glad you can appreciate it and validate that as a Canadian! Thank you frecklematt

In their efforts to maintain harmony, they often navigate conflicts delicately, making it challenging to discern the correct course of action. Occasionally, their communication style may come across as subtly indirect, yet it stems from a genuine desire to avoid confrontation. However, coming from a different cultural background, I perceive this approach as somewhat contradictory. In my culture, transparency is valued, whether things are going awry or smoothly. Contrastingly, in Canada, despite external challenges, there's a remarkable resilience reflected in their ability to maintain a positive demeanor. However, adapting to this cultural norm can pose its own set of challenges.

If you do not have quick learning ability, you can't work in Canada. Someone like me, who can't learn too quickly, will really struggle for a job. Even for a dishwashing job, you need to have high confidence, the best communication skills, and a quick learning attitude. Due to a lack of communication skills, being introverted, and being a slow learner, I am struggling here in Canada, and it has been hell for me. My degrees with academic excellence are going in vain.

In my opinion, small talk doesn’t involve talking about the other party’s family too much. Only and unless they have chosen to share some details with you in the past, like “it’s my daughter’s birthday party this weekend so we are preparing for that” , this is when you can ask the person then how it went. Other times, it’s seen as too personal to ask about these matters with co-workers.

As someone born in Canada, being a team player is an extremely important (maybe the MOST important) quality. If you want to excel, you can think of your behavior like a captain on a team sport. A sports captain isn't simply the best person on the team but also a leader on and off the field and supports their teammates. Outward displays of competitive behavior are not acceptable and will make people trust you less. That being said, like your other videos have mentioned, us Canadians are nice but can sometimes feel fake. Of course Canadians are competitive and want to do better than our colleagues, we just do it discretely. I work in the US now where being outwardly competitive is much more socially acceptable at work.

Do people in canada usually have more than 10 days vacation days provided by employees? are Canadians taking their vacation time? I want to compare this to Europe

10 vacation days is usually a starting point for many organizations. Some companies offer 3 weeks right away, and some tech companies offer unlimited vacation

@robertrobert88887 Жыл бұрын

@@MakeThatChange Thanks, do people negotiate in normal companies like 20 vacation days. 10-15 days seems like nothing. Do non tech companies offer more than 15 days? And also do Canadians take that vacation time or working like US?

@MakeThatChange Жыл бұрын

4 weeks of vacation right off the bat is less common, unless you work for a very modern and innovative company. The typical starting point is 2 weeks vacation ( 10 days). I do recommend to negotiate vacation time, however not all companies can grant it since they have “equality” policies, and vacation time is often given based in tenure ( loyal employees get more time off)

@robertrobert88887 Жыл бұрын

@@MakeThatChange Thanks for getting back to me. I understand starting point when you are a junior. What about when you are a senior in some industry, can you then negotiate straight away even when you didn't work for that company? Can you then get easily 20 days or more? I heard from my friend he is getting 30 days of vacation time. Also what is personal leave in Canada? Is it something different than sick leave? How many days of personal leave companies are giving? Here in UK we have 5 weeks right from the start even as a junior. Going to Canada to work whole life basically not having time off is big no no for me, but I heard if you have many years of experience then you can negotiate easily 5 weeks. How does it look from your perspective? Thanks in advance.

The people who work in technologies are so sick of having short-term jobs. The incompetent managers are afraid of losing their jobs too. These managers try to replace any many people as possible so these managers will be the last people in an organization. Many times, these greedy and incompetent managers were so afraid that they prefered to hire cheap but 'no inguish' people from China to make their positions in the company even more stable. That helped China very very much. If we are not careful, we will sell our countries to China in no time. To the CEO and rich people, profit is the only thing that matters, nothing else (even 10 years from now we will be totally dependent on China, our children will have to work for China if they have any skills left, and China will control our countries politically, economically, socially, ...). If we fall, it is because we are too greedy and we are short-sighted.
