You were a director of engineering and you didn't have more than a year of expenses sitting around?


Directors of Engineering in Eastern Canada make (or made, until recently) < 200k, CAD. That's 145k USD. So no, didn't have much of a golden parachute like the US do.


Are expenses so high there? That’s still more than twice what you’d make here in Western Europe, and you’d have an easy time saving way more than a year of expense here.


A big chunk went into the house I guess


The side effect of stronger employment protection is limited upside and more friction in getting into new positions.
