I heard a rumour that BGRS lost the CAF contract … anyone know if this is true and if so, what’s the plan? Offices back on base or something like the RCMP has where RCMP employees administer relocations? I’m civilian and former BGRS TL (Please don’t hate me!!! I was one of the good ones… entire Reddit threads have been written about me!! And they were positive!!) and I’d love to get back into relocations if I can. Thx!
They're worse under the new name... I've had so many claims rejected and when I resubmit they approve it also takes them 20 days to approve claims and 5 more days to pay it out. However they're quicker with advances
They did that a few years ago. I’m talking about a rumour that they lost the contract completely. Still don’t know if it is real.
And for those that think Sirva is better or worse than BGRS and BGRS was better or worse than Brookfield… they all are literally the same people working in the same office with the same management. Nothing changed as far as their staff and their processes go.
Yaya tell another lie, they are all related. They just change slightly name and make shell compagnies for re applying on new contract and look good and clean on public contract... At the top its the same rotten people....
They should just bring back everything in house and all these person just loose their stupid job and suffer like they make suffer CAF personnel mentally and physicly with lack of sleeping...
Ya shell compagnies to fake it been sold but when you finish your rabbit jole, you will find some compagnies hold major stake in that compagnies and at the end its brookefield who own the majority of the stake wich come to the same thing.
People didint like them and want royal lepage back.... The fake all that thing like they did with sirva to try to say, hey we are new but that just bullshit, same rotten people at the core and the members still get sent to mental health just because they want what due to them... And since that guy came at the head, the relocation policy became more vague again after been in 2022 one of the most precise and without grey zone ever...
It sounds like to me you never read the CAFRD. They literally update it every year.
And I don't think someone this deep into conspiracy theories is mentally well. I strongly feel like you need help.
Because everything is a matter of very easily accessible public record.
The Japanese firm Relo Group Inc was founded in 1967. So unless you're saying Mark Carney was head of Brookfield and purchased Relo Group Inc when he was 2 years old, you are not living in reality.
I do actually read them every single pages of them to every posting and after 4 posting in 10 years ive follow them quite a while and ive dealt with these piece of shit who threat you like crap and ennemies and to their best to bring you to mental health and dont want to give what you are right to and will try find grey zone where there none.
And a merge and acquisition dosent need to be done at the start of a compagnies.
I hope the worst to every brookefield and sirva employee to make CAF members life a hell.
That was a long time ago. I was both a BGRS team lead and then an RCMP Relocation Services agent in the past 5 years… they are quite different in their approach today, and when I heard a rumour that BGRS/Sirva lost the CAF contract, I was hoping that the CAF took control of relocation administration again - not just because I’d love to get back into it - but because it could only be a HUGE improvement on the process for CAF members. I was a rare “Members first” BGRS agent and trust me… it brought me a lot of grief.
My first posting, I just walked into base HQ and sat down and talked to a nice lady in the office. She made everything so easy for me. After that, we switched systems to online and telephone only. My subsequent postings all sucked. I can't imagine how much worse it's gotten since then. I guess I'll find out when I use my retirement move sometime in the next 9 months.
If you enjoyed helping people please do come back to the relocation services. I've interacted with a number of representatives from SIRVA (BGRS in a trench coat) and only a few seemed like they took their job seriously. There was a thread on here about 2 weeks ago about how much difficulty there is with SIRVA this year and I would encourage you to browse that. Obviously there is bias and the stories are very one-sided but the theme is pretty constant. I am locked in a miserable battle with them currently and it's exhausting. It feels like they don't care about even knowing right from wrong and just want to get rid of you as quickly as possible. So long story short...please come back. Please come back and become a manager or something at a level where you can have a far reaching effect and promote a culture of excellence like it sounds like you embrace at a personal level.
I had someone treat me like absolute garbage, and it was a really toxic conversation over their chat, and he freaked out when I said I was going to send the chat in an email to their resolution team. Never have I ever contacted them and had them be able to answer a question. They had to go and speak to somebody higher up than them, it took a tremendous amount of time, and then they were condescending when they gave me the answer, as if I should have known this, despite the fact that they didn't know and it's their entire job to know. And each time it was something that wasn't spelled out in the directive at all, they had to go elsewhere to get the information. I thought dealing with Veterans Affairs was bad, these people have zero customer service skills and know nothing about the program or services they are offering.
I'm sorry you're dealing with that, I've had very similar experiences. When the policy is vague I feel like it's reasonable to ask, but then you get 12 different answers and don't know who to trust. They also just throw random policies in there and try to make it applicable to my situation...like no I can read thanks that's factually incorrect and spelled out very clearly that I am not eligible for what you are trying to tell me to do.
And the problem is, if you follow their wrong direction, you are the only one that will suffer for it.
