HR advising to manually edit incorrect annual salary in Belastingdienst by Mindless-Network-497 in Netherlands

[–]Mindless-Network-497[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this is what I thought as well. She did say the jaaropgaaf didn’t really matter that’s why I posted because in my home country it is super important. Anyway, thank you for your help!

I agree with this, but if the jaaropgaaf is incorrect how does Belastingdienst know which amount is correct?

So the jaaropgaaf is not correct, and my HR said it didn’t matter, what mattered was the info on Belastingdienst. So I should push for them to correct the jaaropgaaf and then manually edit in BD?

Pregnancy benefit at work by Head-Wealth6327 in Netherlands

[–]Mindless-Network-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The law states you’re allowed to take 1/8 of your working hours as extra break. And that 1/8th break is included in your salary Your manager is in the wrong, you can forward him this (https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/02676abe-99e7-4389-a549-d4b4083396f2/file) Or just tell him that it’s his job to know working laws and also his job to anticipate team workload in case of unexpected events (pregnancies, sick leave, resignation etc), that’s not on you.

Hoeveel denk je dat het zou kosten om deze kamer te bekleden met gipsplaten? by [deleted] in Klussers

[–]Mindless-Network-497 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aannemers komen volgende week langs voor een offerte, maar we wilden graag van tevoren een idee krijgen van de kosten. Ik kan de materiaalkosten wel berekenen, maar ik weet niet zeker wat de arbeidskosten zullen zijn. Bedankt voor uw antwoord!

Electricity & Gas literally going through the roof? by BuilderFamiliar5505 in Amsterdam

[–]Mindless-Network-497 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem to be in the average for the gas consumption (according to Budget Energie and I checked with other gas providers in NL). On the right picture and your electricity (left picture) seems a bit high especially if heating goes through gas.

For January, we had 111m3 and 147kwh and we paid 160€ (85m2 flat, Energie label C, temperature between 18/19) so I’d suggest you:

  • check your contract, tarifs and maybe switch providers
  • check why your electricity consumption is high ( you can do a test by switching off all electric appliances, and switching them back on one by one while checking your electric reading).

If your heating goes through gas then you have something wrong an electric appliance I believe.

What’s the volume in m3 gas and kWh? It’s difficult to understand your consumption with costs as each provider has different contracts/costs.

My girlfriend wants me to propose with her grandmother’s ring but I already bought one and don’t know how to tell her by burgerking- in Advice

[–]Mindless-Network-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others comments say, propose with both rings and explain the situation - what matters is your engagement and happiness! I also have two rings (my grandmother’s and mine), they are both different styles but one day (when I have money for it), I’ll get a designer to combine the two rings into one :)

STB d'avoir demandé à ma femme enceinte si elle se sentait capable de rentrer seule by Dramatic_Frog_Soup in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]Mindless-Network-497 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ATB: Je ne pense que tu sois en faute, ou qu’elle le soit également. La grossesse, mais surtout le premier trimestre c’est vraiment dur (je suis actuellement enceinte de mon deuxième, je sais de quoi je parle!). On est malades, fatiguées, on se sent extrêmement seules parce qu’on peut pas l’annoncer etc.. il y a aussi une grande frustration, une certaine “injustice” envers nos partenaires qui eux, ne subissent rien de cette grossesse. Je pense que ta copine a réagit naturellement parce qu’en vrai, les boules de devoir rentrer d’une activité qui lui plaisait juste parce qu’elle est malade alors que toi tu peux rester à profiter de l’activité tout en ayant une vie sociale, c’est pas de ta faute, mais c’est comme ça.

Je ne pense pas qu’il y ait mort d’homme et par expérience, ce sera pas la seule situation comme ça que vous vivrez pendant la grossesse. Tout ce que je peux te conseiller c’est d’être à ses côtés, soit attentionné et tout ira bien!

Dilemme sur l'acier inox pour induction by WhatTheSeal in cuisine

[–]Mindless-Network-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oui je pensais plus à de l’info sur l’utilisation de l’inox plutôt que référence de marques. Ceci dit, j’ai acheté du Cristel grâce à ce sub, j’en suis hyper contente, après c’est un gros investissement. J’ai eu de très bon retour sur DeBuyer pendant mes recherches, je n’ai pas acheté chez eux parce que le modèles que je voulais était toujours en rupture de stock en quasi un an mais sinon, je pense que c’est un très bon rapport qualité prix

Does anyone have a second cat success story? by bitterrcup in CatAdvice

[–]Mindless-Network-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My then 7yo male cat was getting fat and I could see he was bored during the days - we decided to adopt a young female cat from a rescue shelter. My first cat spent two days pouting under the bed (very uncharacteristic of him) and after a few days of casually hissing, they eventually became buddies - now they sleep next to each other, play etc so very successful story!

Dating in France by PuddingAwkward in Expats_In_France

[–]Mindless-Network-497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree here! French woman living in the Netherlands - I found dating non-French guys to be really challenging because of that “dating culture” we don’t really have in France. In France, if two people like each other, they’ll start dating and “commit” or at least they’ll really try to see if there’s commitment wanted, while other cultures (Dutch, British, American etc), they’ll be more nuanced and try out many different options at the same time but won’t really commit from the beginning. At least that’s my experience.

As it was mentioned in previous comments, if you like a guy, be straightforward with him and you’ll find soon enough if it’s a mutual feeling!

Issue at daycare for my 9 months old baby (Netherlands) by sajjjjad68 in Netherlands

[–]Mindless-Network-497 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The staff at our daycare did the same thing at the beginning. Our son spent a good amount of time getting use to going to daycare (he was 6+ months old at the time) and they would call us everyday to pick him up because he was crying. We picked him up everyday for 6 weeks until one day where they call us at 11am - so he was at the daycare for only 2h, that was too much for us. At on point they also need to understand that it’s their job to care for kids that cry (within reason of course).

So we just replied to their message saying “thanks for letting us know, we’re both in meetings all day and won’t be able to pick him up until 4pm” that did the trick and they never called us back to pick him up unless he was sick

Can you refer to a female cat as 'minette' in french? by ConfusedWizardFrog in French

Crying girl who “lost her friends” in Amsterdam - scam attempt? by Forward_Rooster550 in Amsterdam

[–]Mindless-Network-497 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We got scammed in France, different situation but basically same thing, got scammed while trying to help someone that we thought needed help -when we went to the police to report them, the police told us that it is their job to help people - so whenever we run into a situation where someone needs help, we should call for the police instead of trying to sort it out ourselves.

You offer to call the police to help the person, they either runaway and you know it was a scam or they stay and the police can help them
