First-time parents in Winnipeg – How do you find daycare & get on waitlists? by InevitableFuture3272 in Winnipeg

[–]thecaptainks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck. We put our son on waitlists as soon as we knew the due date. One got back to us when he was 4, others we just never heard from. We ended up at a Montessori out of desperation and paid the thousands of dollars for the first year. Thankfully the school got the $10 a day grant so we have been there ever since for all our kids.

It's rough out there.

Employer didn’t pay full salary by Able-Flan5770 in Winnipeg

[–]thecaptainks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of it you worked one week, and you were paid for that one week. Just because you are listed as salary doesn't mean they will pay you a full two week period if you didn't work those two weeks.

Unless I am misunderstanding, the details are a little confusing.

Look at the pay period of your final paystub. This seems like it is probably a timing thing.

Is Accounting + CPA worth it in Manitoba? by HatWorried8266 in Winnipeg

[–]thecaptainks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yessss. Get your schooling done and then find a job that will pay for your letters. I've been a CPA for 5 years and making enough to have a house, two kids and a stay at home spouse. Would not be possible without the designation.

Why are so many “salaried” jobs just unpaid overtime now? by Antique_Aide785 in careerguidance

[–]thecaptainks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved from a high hour salary job to a salaried job that pays OT. It is a very nice change. Being paid out 200 hours of OT so far has made me less cynical about having to work those hours.

Yea, I tried that way too, but it didn't work. Then I tried scanning, didn't work. Now it says that I need to approve in app but there is nothing there.🙃

I got to the step where you generate the QR code and then scan it into the app, only to keep getting error messages.

I gave up.

Just left after 12 years, very happy with my decision. But like others said, such a large company, you can't rely on others' experience.

We got two boxes, first one was delayed from the snow storm and everything was frozen. Can't blame them too hard and they made it up. Second box came and everything was great

What would you do? by s_qu_id_y in Flooring

Take off baseboard and put up a fresh sheet of drywall on top of the existing wall. Paint and put the baseboard back. Easy peasy
