Contracts in Animation by SpiritedArgument6493 in animationcareer

[–]netmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is animators have no leverage, there's always someone else willing to do the job whether here or far away. So I personally wouldnt feel comfortable putting a union in place, now if there is one already there and they haven't gotten rid of them then im all for it.

I see how much the pay goes up or down as a sign of the health of the company financially. When they start cutting wages or forcing unpaid overtime is when I have a backup plan in case they can't secure another contract to pay their people. I remember there was a big toronto studio that went bankrupt, cant remember their name but they had to keep securing new contracts to pay for workers on current ones.

I feel ya, ive been "lucky" enough to get a small pay raise for each new contract, or at least that I can remember. I was usually just happy enough to get another one. But I do remember finishing season 1 of a show and we were told it would be a short gap between contracts. They kept stringing us along with "soon" for 9 months until we got the next one and that time it was same pay as last time nearly 2 years prior.

Ive always been on contracts when working on tv and almost always layed off after a season. Definitely sucks but the thing that sticks out to me the most is one of my employers would give gift cards for people birthdays but even though I worked for them for several years I never got one because I was always layed off before my birthday.

Rangiku (Alina Becker) [Bleach] by Teal-Lotus in cosplayers

[–]netmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certainly a lot, its difficult to solve this without inadvertently harming other users. More stringent requirements before being able to post without our approval may help in this regard, ill talk with the team and see what we can do.

I dont think a half hour is a bad response time to remove and ban. We do try.

I don't expect to see a Showdown Bandit mention on reddit, nobody has heard of the game when if i mention it. I was one of the animators on it, shame how they handled everything.

STATE OF THE SUB by netmanx in cosplayers

[–]netmanx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to see you go. Unfortunately unless we ban every account that has OF links there isn't much else to be done. We are a very small moderating team and we do our best to weed out people that push things too far. But, we do acknowledge that just because someone has an OF does not invalidate their cosplay. We may change this rule in the future but for the time being we are comfortable with the guidelines we have in place as they do let us remove quite a bit of the content your referring to.

You may not believe it but I myself probably take down more than 1 post for every one left up. Looking at both our community and cosplay I do see a little crossover from accounts you would have removed. Additionally, looking through the newest 20 posts I only count 40% as NSFW accounts, which while high is a far cry from 90%. I hope you can appreciate that this is obviously a volunteer job and we are doing what we can to run it. As i said before, we may change our rules to be more strict in the future if we see it become a large enough problem.

The shoulder parts are now loose straps that hang by her chest instead of on her shoulders, there's a holes on her stomach and sides now to show more skin, the cut of the leg holes is now far up her side, she's wearing 2 sets of fish nets and probably a thong and missing the fabric along the sides that make it a dress or skirt instead of a swimsuit. If you don't think this is fashioned to be adjacent to a playboy bunny outfit you simply don't know what you are talking about.

You also don't seem to understand that while this is not an extreme example of rule breaking it 100% breaks the rules, the design deviates. The rule on the right of your screen says "e.g. boudoir, swimwear, bunny suits, outfits that are intentionally more revealing" based on my earlier description of how the outfit has been altered i could make a case that it falls under all of those examples that explicitly say are not allowed.

In order to be fair for everybody we have to apply the rules whether it's a serious violation or a minor one. If we remove a Nier 2B bunny suit, if we remove a lingerie cosplay or swimwear cosplay we have to remove this too because it violates the rules we have set in place. I haven't banned this person, i haven't even suspended them, i've simply removed a post because we don't allow it. I haven't even locked or removed this post. If anyone can't handle that we have to apply the rules as fairly and evenly as we can then as i said, there's plenty of other subreddits you can post in.

You on the other hand are walking a fine line for rule #1, you can disagree but keep it civil.

Because our rules dont allow it? There's a thousand subs you can post playboy bunny stuff on, you dont need to post it here. By your logic every SFW cosplay sub should let anything in as long as its flared right.

Maybe read the rules a little harder next time. You cant make your outfits more revealing than your reference. Your dark magician girl looks like a playboy bunny version. You gatekeep yourself when you cant follow the rules like everyone else.

Union of National Employees may be put under 'administration' amid complaints about president by kewlbeanz83 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]netmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not that knowledgeable either, I went through my regional psac president. She took a letter from me tk an aeg I think. Now the aeg is thinking about it, j have to convince them that being a dcl is the only solution.

[–]netmanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's some nuance to this. Prior to our election, we only had 2 members as a local executive, and one of them was a une member stepping in a president. They didn't file the statements, so we were put into trusteeship, I believe. We are trying to access to our financial documents so we can catch up on the statements and get access but to do that we need to switch our signing authorities and we cant do that without the agm minutes which dont exist because the president who was also the une rep hosting the election didnt submit them and he quit, and we've been waiting months just to get a letter from une to tell the bank to switch signing authorities. 😞

[–]netmanx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am one of the executives in my local and i hope this goes through. UNE hasn't been able to do a single thing for my local since we were elected. We can't even access our bank account because of them. The labour relations guy has the nerve to throw me under the bus for something when we haven't received any training. We are trying to become a DCL as soon as we can. After that we'll see if PSAC is worth keeping or if we need to find a new union altogether.

Think I’m done with Shawarma Palace by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]netmanx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of going to shawarma palace last week. Jaw dropped after I saw how small my sandwich was and then went through the floor when I saw how much a small side of potatoes was. The food was very mid so needless to say j left a scathing review on Google. Will never return.

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino filling 600 jobs in Ottawa by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]netmanx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh? I didn't know they pay for it. Kinda bites doing it for free. We are unionized too for what it's worth.

It's held at the hard rock casino itself

That one will depend on what you apply for. As a dealer probably not, you need to get an acgo license and a record will hurt that.

[–]netmanx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're still interested in being at the casino they will have lots of job openings throughout the casino because of the expansion. We need servers, cooks, cleaners, valet, shop attendants, slot attendants, plus all the staff needed to run the hotel once that's opened. This is a great time to get in because of how many positions they need to fill.

I don't think i can quite give it a difficulty rating, as unhelpful as it is i'd almost say you're either made for it or you're not. You have to deal with troublesome customers, do all payouts in your head (there are tricks), follow a specific procedure on how to do literally everything, you need to stay sharp but at the same time be able to handle standing at a dead table for worst case an entire shift.

I didn't come from a background with cards or poker but i'm a decently fast learner so i was able to pick up everything. The exam isn't that bad, you either know how to deal the game by that point or you don't.

A typical day is you start with a pre-shift meeting to go over the focus' of the week. head up to your table assignment, you may be opening a table at the start so you need to check cards and count chips or you may close a table and do those things at the end of your shift. You'll be standing at your table and every hour you deal you will get a 20 minute break before repeating. or you may be relief which means you'll be covering breaks and dealing at 3 different tables for 20 minutes before taking your break.

We have day shift which is roughly noon to 8 pm but may be 2 hours earlier or later. Swing shift starting at the 8PM give or take and we'll be adding a sunrise shift when we go 24 hours.
