Job Posting With Manulife Re: 4 Positions To Deal With Sisip Ltd

Interesting reading. but I believe they are ready to run with the zero sum at this time, and they are gearing up for the next piece, that is, the retroactive one.

.

SISIP could get a good handle on it and all the calculations with the proper excel spread sheet. Not really that hard as I did it back to Oct 2001 using my own case as an example and I consider myself only a moderate computer savy user!

This really is outragous. All the sisip zero sums that are in the computer my CM said would have taken 15 minutes because most are up to date. Its only the old ones and paper archives that will take time. Poor planning on sisip part and we suffer, complete BS.

And don't tell me the legals had no idea about this...sparrow

.

Nav, remember what happened to Nortel and all those people who lost their pensions. It happened to 2 of my in laws...the pensions just stopped no accountability...whose to say Manulife does not go that route....sparrow

WOW, TEEN, I WAS NOT BULL SHITING, I TOLD YOU GUYS SISIP WAS DOING THIS AND THEY JUST POSTED THE JOB NOTICE. We need you , Teen , to get some sort of time line as to when this is going to get going. If this has not started yet, and they have to train these guys, your looking at months and months. Teen , this was poor planning on SIsip part, they knew they would have had to figure this out. I have no more contact with my cm until i am reinstated so my information has dried up. What does legal think of this and with VAC ELB stopping the clawback(which i think is awesome and i might jump ship to them) should we the zero sum, the most effected , not be the last ones to benefit from this. Really how fair is this, man

Thanks to a fellow member here, this was located on Workopolis ....Not much planning was made on our behalf by Manulife....I guess they thought we would go away.....
