Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-they-really-all-that-different? dept.

No One You Know asks: "I've been working as a sysadmin for an insurance company in the US for the past six years, and have decided to move to Canada. I've had it with corporate America, but I'm trying to keep an open mind while job hunting. How does Canadian corporate life compare to that of the US?"

    With American companies, the day they hire you they are trying to figure out how to lay you off. The reality is, we're all independent contractors (easier to limit the unions).
