City of Vancouver

If you're lucky you may have a great career here but if you're not you can be bullied and ostersized by co-workers and management. I met some really nice people who were very respectful and kind, as well some very insecure people that would set you up to fail and have a good laugh at your expense. With my experience I feel the City is run a lot better than the Parks Board and it's a shame that a few people wreck it for others by creating a toxic workplace. If you have many years of experience working in the private sector, you may be frustrated with how the city works. Don't ever give your opinion on anything work related as some will take that as a threat and do their best to make your life difficult. Many of the lifer's at the city are lazy and underskilled but still will get promoted because of their relationships with others above them. New employees will always be the ones reprimanded if something goes wrong, so record everything. I was injured on the job a number of times, and ended up quitting because of safety and health concerns. The union is rather weak and can make you feel like you've done something wrong when you are actually a victim of bullying and disrespectful workplace.
