We now have now become tethered to technology & as a result lifestyles are changing negatively in a large way. We are slaves to constantly checking phones, tablets, or computers for jobs that rarely ever seem to show up!
I think job shopping is totally ridiculous! I have 2 young kids that require my attention and being tethered to a computer or my phone in hopes that a job pops up is completely unreasonable! Also I live in a rural area where my Internet is unreliable. I feel like I am at a disadvantage because I don't have conventional high speed Internet.
I coach three days a week from 5pm-7pm. Not all of us have the opportunity to sit and refresh the job shopping screen for an hour every night. As a result I'm losing out on job opportunities. If this continues I'll have to resign from my volunteer coaching position in my community.
Being tethered to the internet does not make sense for supply teachers (or even for the full time teachers). It's an abuse of technology to close in on our private home time without paying for it. Supply teachers are not paid for after-school time, and earn far less than those with extra work at home. They, however, do not need an extra load at home either.
My evening work for the Ontario Homework Help mathematics program has been significantly affected.
Thanks for taking the SCDSB to task for their premature implementation of "Job Shopping". Their (SCDSB) listening to our federation executives could very well avoid some long term active supply teachers, who try to supply for The Board of Education beyond the 50 day ceiling for teachers on pension, totally walking away from occasional teaching status. Good on everyone who listens actively and prevents poor judgement from being implemented! HRT
Timing is inconvenient. Requests are not going through properly and are being accepted by shoppers. I was getting calls every day previously. Why not move job shopping to after evening calls go out? This would make more sense.

This should not have been implemented without consultation. It is an unacceptable invasion of the members' private and family lives 24/7. It presents long term health Issues from stress related illnesses and safety concerns since anxious OTs may be tempted to search for jobs whilst driving.
