Hello, I am a cyber security engineer/architect who is looking for some insights from HR professionals.

The only interactions that I've really ever had with HR at all have been to set up my access on ym first day and that's really it. IM aware that it is a vast and complicated field, but I just haven't really interacted with the department in my entire career.

Here's my situation. I started a new job between 2-3 weeks ago. They have yet to pay me. The HR person keeps on assuring me that I will be paid by next pay cycle. They have yet to actually answer any of my questions, but they keep messaging me and telling me I will be paid by a certain date with no actual evidence that this will happen.

Between the not being paid and the not having any of my questions answered, am I getting fired? I just started here and the technical team seems really happy with my work. I kinda feel like im being gaslit into working without pay. Is this something common or am I overthinking this? I jsut have people who depend on me for income and Im worried.

Watching a CBC video. They are bringing up the discrimination that happens against boys in the canadian education system. Any man who's grown up in Canada knows full well men are openly discriminated against in education, health care, every social service and shelter service. Putting the question out to the crowd, does the program being rolled out by the Canadian government seem like it will actually address the difference in resourcing provided between male and female students?

Honestly Im kinda pessimistic. It kinda just seems that a few female teachers had sons and all of a sudden the problem now effects someone they actually care about.
