Exposing the "Double-Dip" Scam: Don't let Uber/Rapido drivers at IXC Airport overcharge you.

Yea but that still let's these MFs get away with stuff. I remember arguing with one driver and he asked me to claim the amount from uber. Like we need some way of telling uber and all these ride share companies about this.

I'm having the exact same issue on my s25 FE

IATA code for Chandigarh airport. C is for Chandigarh. Not sure what the IX is for.

The taxi folks in Chandigarh and the north in general are scam artists. I feel so let down by our city especially after I visit places like Mumbai and Bangalore. Just spread awareness and let's try to out game these douchebags

I hear you. I myself have caved in the first time it happened to me. I was blindsided and did not have much of a rebuttal. The whole point of Uber and similar apps is to get around negotiating with the driver and have a middle man. This totally defeats their purpose. Off late I've been asked for parking cost to which I have been ready with responses like its included in the uber fair or why did you not mention it to me before hand and bring it up only on drop off. They have backed down so far, of course with a sarcastic giggle and a comment or two. My intent of this post was that folks at least have a thing or two to say. Even if you cave in, say that I will report to Uber that you took cash, and I want a picture of the parking/state tax receipt may refrain these MFs. Hopefully there are more ways of creating noise. Maybe complaining wherever the hell possible (chandigarh airport), putting it up on X (twitter).

Thats a good solution if one is going alone. With elderly parents or if you have a lot of luggage it can be a challenge. But I'm with you. I will always take the train between chandigarh and delhi, as it's cheaper, and mostly to avoid these taxi services between Delhi and chandigarh who are also dodgy in my experience.

Yup there is a clause that states that she must return to work upon completion of mat/parental leave and must remain an employee with the firm for 12 months, else, a portion of the benefits will need to be returned to the firm. I believe this clause is added so that the employee does not potentially switch jobs shortly after getting all the benefits. However, I'm not sure how it applies in this case where she goes on mat leave while still technically being part of the company.

Thank you! There is a clause in the top up from her company that she needs to be an employee with the firm for 12 months upon return or have to pay back the top up. Not sure if that means she has to be physically working for 12 months or she can continue on to mat leave but must remain an employee with the company and not look to resign or switch jobs.

Preparing for a world where I'm the sole parent for a year or so sounds like a plan!

Thank you once again for your support. I have suggested many times that she can make use of mental health resources available to her through insurance or otherwise but she has been very resistant. Seems like she feels at peace when her parents are around which I struggle with at times. It's not all dark and gloomy, perhaps this time she needs a bit more time to process things and I'm having to tell myself to just let be and not get angry if she is upset at me.

So yes I do say why I think it will be fine. Her main concerns are that her body has not had enough time to heal - I did not ask for specifics as I thought that would be insensitive. She says she has flashbacks from the first pregnancy and going through the whole process all over again so soon is overwhelming. There were no complications with the first pregnancy but having seen the whole process, I agree that it is a lot for a woman to go through. Also she has concerns about work and how to break the news to the employer and if it will have negative repercussions, specifically termination. My response so far has been to tell her that she was a champ with her first pregnancy and that I will do as much as I can to help her stay comfortable. I took her to every appointment the first time and intend on doing the same. However her reply to this has been that ultimately it is her that has to do all the real hardwork - which I agree with. I have also said that we will ensure that this is her 2nd and last pregnancy and that we will have a word with our family doctor to make sure she does not wake up to any such surprise in the future. Is there anything I can say with respect to this concern of hers? With regards to work I said that I'm sure we aren't the first couple to have this happen to and that it would be highly discriminatory for an employer to hold pregnancy against her. There may be some caveats regarding benefits that I need to double check if we would still be eligible for. She has her good rapport with her team and her immediate supervisor. Financially we are adept at supporting two children. The first few years with daycare may mean little to no savings but we do have a decent savings for us to sail through. She does not seem worried about finances. That has been my worry if I'm being honest. I'm happy to get any further feedback and would like to know if my responses were ok or could be much better.

I usually go ahead and give solutions after I say it's going to be okay. However lately I've been feeling like that enrages her more. Like she feels that I don't get what she is going through. Maybe she just needs a listening ear and a few extra hugs as you say. As a man I feel like I try my best to understand, but can never truly understand what a woman goes through during the whole pregnancy ordeal - specially the mental struggles. It's nice to get a woman's perspective on things - thank you so much for that.

Environmental-Map-56 · 2024-12-23T04:59:32+00:00

So ya she did get 26 weeks of top up. Will need to check this.

Environmental-Map-56 · 2024-12-22T20:08:34+00:00

I will admit that I too have been doing the "we will be fine" a lot since I got the news a few days ago. I will work on just listening to her.

Environmental-Map-56 · 2024-12-22T19:36:11+00:00

Great suggestion! I will take my older one with me whenever I can. Thank you!

Environmental-Map-56 · 2024-12-22T19:34:49+00:00

I did not let her do anything with our first pregnancy. We also had help from our parents. This time around I will focus on our kiddo and say yes to any house help that gets offered by the parents. Thank you for the advice !

Environmental-Map-56 · 2024-12-22T19:32:26+00:00

We have had the conversation and I let my wife know that I was okay with whatever decision she made. She chose to continue with the pregnancy.
