I was working up in Whistler back in my twenties, at the end of the season, they lay everybody off except for a small crew of full-time employees. I went on to EI(employment insurance) for the summer pretended to look for jobs, and went on road trips with friends. Once summer finished, I found another job and I have unfortunately been employed ever since in various Warehouse jobs from order picker to warehouse manager.
Edit: Added words
What is breaking, and what is El?
It was meant to be "working up in Whistler" but I didn't check my voice typing.
EI is what you get when you get laid off in BC. I don't know if they still call it that anymore.
I thought those were skiing or biking or local terms I just didn't know since I've never being skiing or to Whistler, haha. I read EL rather than ei like thinking it was referring to a place everyone from that area would know that started with those letters. This makes much more sense now.
