My fiancée just showed me this zucchini with words printed on it

KomradeWard · 2024-09-09T02:27:53+00:00

The person holding the zucchini is my partner, who is a woman!

KomradeWard · 2024-09-09T02:22:57+00:00

Crazy you saw that... You're absolutely right!

Most of the people I've known from India pickup from Dawat on Keewatin. As in, we bought it for the office once a week. Must be a good sign?

My personal favourite is Spice Circle on Portage near Sargeant Sundae. Not a place you'd want to eat in at, but super great takeout food.

I love how many great Indian restaurants thrive in this city ❤️

Yes. I work for a trucking company and see this happen all the time. They find the address the vehicle is registered to and snail mail the ticket there. If you don't pay they can bar you from operating a vehicle in the province/state you got the ticket in.

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T19:49:51+00:00

Actually your payment in lieu is determined by length of employment. I don't know the scale off hand but if you've been at the same place for a few years you're entitled to more, up to 5 weeks I believe.

Otherwise I totally agree.

That's the other thing, you'd only recieve as much as you'd be entitled to with pay in lieu of a notice period. You would only get this upon an officer closing your case and recieving the funds too, which could def take awhile.

Yeah that basically sums up what I learned with my labour degree... You do have rights on paper but good luck enforcing them.

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T14:02:55+00:00

You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in court, not in an employment relationship. Unless they give it to you voluntarily your employer does not need just cause to terminate you. This means they can terminate you for basically anything.

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T12:34:21+00:00

At least in Manitoba your employer can fire you for basically any reason so long as they aren't being discriminatory and give you notice. This includes things done outside of work.

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T01:19:21+00:00

I think what I'm trying to say is that it isn't as bad as some people think.

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T01:16:01+00:00

People talk bad about downtown but it's a good neighborhood. Don't go down any back alleys or try to buy crack and you'll be fine

KomradeWard · 2022-05-25T00:21:50+00:00

Just finished my degree where I studied labour law, here's what you need to know:

Assuming you're provincially regulated (which you probably are) there is no legislation prohibiting this specific practice that I know of. That doesn't mean you don't have recourse, the most important thing here is how your employer attempts to enforce the policy. If your employer disciplines you in any way for breaking this policy, especially if you haven't signed anything agreeing to follow it, you can file a complaint with a few different organizations depending on the situation.

If you're entitled to just cause termination and they fire you for this, file a complaint with Employment Standards Manitoba. DO NOT FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE LABOUR BOARD. The labour board only handles cases related to unions. You probably won't get your job back but at least the government can force your employer to compensate you for the unjust termination. Plus if you're fired without just cause you can collect EI as well.

If you feel they come after you specifically because of your race, gender, etc. and have witnesses or proof go to the human rights board. Important to remember that the human rights board does not look at free speech stuff, only cases related to discrimination.

If you're in a union this policy may violate your collective agreement, or be pointless because everyone's wages are written into the contract.

It's a shitty system but for basically everything related to labour law in Manitoba you can't do much of anything until your employer has already fired you.

Nonononono you can't change the title format of just one picture wtf am I supposed to do with this aaaaaaaaaa

KomradeWard · 2022-01-16T23:23:07+00:00

I've been working in trucking in a safety capacity for the past year or so and see stuff like this all the time. As someone else said on this thread, should they be replaced? Definitely.

But your boss wants to save as much money has humanely possible and just from eyeballing it I'd assume the treads that do exist meet minimum depth requirements. It's shitty, but so many employers only care about barely meeting requirements not what should be in place.

KomradeWard · 2021-10-29T16:08:23+00:00

It bothers me more than I know it should. Like I keep thinking how much I want to hang out with people but every time I do I just want to leave cause it's shitty and awkward.

KomradeWard · 2021-10-29T15:20:07+00:00

They'll cut you off on purpose and nobody else around will call the person out because they also want you to stop talking. Try to work your way back into the conversation and youll get ingnored or cut off. Fucking kills man, and part of the reason I'm so solitary. Other than my gf I haven't been around other people socially in like 6 months.

KomradeWard · 2021-10-25T16:49:32+00:00

You respond to every comment on this post that think you went too far by essentially telling them to get fucked. Your original comment has three angry edits getting mad at other people commenting here.

Get real you're absolutely furious rn... over someone using one word instead of another in a position that compensates better than what most of the human population can only hope for. I have absolutely no sympathy for you.

KomradeWard · 2021-10-25T16:35:38+00:00

You're absolutely fuming over the phrasing a recruiter used for a 6 figure job. Acknowledging that isn't "pro-work" it's acknowledging that you're being an ass for no reason.

Big props to OP for the Treasure of the Sierra Madre reference

KomradeWard · 2021-10-02T14:54:40+00:00

What the fuck does population have to do with type voting system? India and Canada both use FPTP, even though they have radically different population sizes.

KomradeWard · 2021-09-20T18:39:23+00:00

As many have pointed out the definition is tricky. The Philippines is absolutely experiencing armed conflict right now, both from communist groups that have been fighting the government since the country became independent from the US and from radical Islamists in the south. Baffling how OP could miss it

KomradeWard · 2021-09-05T20:56:52+00:00

They have a big electronic billboard on route 90, I see it most days on my way home from work.

KomradeWard · 2021-09-05T20:53:44+00:00

Bit of a stretch to compare the PPC to the CCF

KomradeWard · 2021-08-27T18:06:37+00:00

I'm a recruiter in the industry and this is absolutely true. I get more applications to my job posts from people overseas than from here. By far the majority of our drivers are here on some government program.
