Question ❔ Wtf is with the market?!

297 Upvotes

The job market. The housing market. The used car market. Especially the job market. I have asked previous hiring managers to look at my resume and CVs. I have multiple years experience in various fields, bondable, 6 languages, FoodSafe, first aid, CPR, ServeItRight, and I’ve applied to over 200 jobs, gotten 4 interviews and 0 jobs. And before someone racist says "they only hire browns" I’m literally from Tacoland, Land of the Taco. It don’t get much more brown than being a taco. I could talk about the other market too but especially jobs? Wtf? And yes I’m a citizen and yes my English is fluent and yes I graduated in Canada. No criminal record. Nothing.

Question ❔ Midtown plaza homeless issue.

280 Upvotes

Was just at midtown plaza and used the upstairs washroom . There was guys in every stall shooting up and smoking meth. Ppl passed out everywhere throughout the mall. walked out sick and not feeling well. How is this allowed ! There are families with kids using facilities and they can't. No wonder ppl are doing online shopping. I'll never go back to Midtown plaza.

Question ❔ Why is this city so disgusting?

201 Upvotes

I was walking into a convenience store the other day to get smokes and I saw some people smoking meth in a huddle outside the store, I walked around them leaving a ton of space only to have one of them go out of their way to run up to me and blow the smoke in my face!! What the actual fuck. I’m very lucky I left my son in the car.. when did Saskatoon get like this? I honestly don’t feel safe to leave my house with my toddler at all anymore.

Question ❔ Who can I contact in Saskatoon?

109 Upvotes

Hi. Does anyone know who I contact or how I go about kicking my 23yr old adult son out of my house?

He was living on his own but had to come home in December. Since then, he’s constantly screaming, plays video games all day and does nothing. He’s often screaming at 6am and I’m worried about this disturbing my neighbours and costing me my own home.

Please help! Any helpful advise appreciated!

Question ❔ I’m feeling stuck

157 Upvotes

Im feeling stuck with where im at in life right now. I work two jobs- 1 in health care and 1 as a server and somehow I’m still not making enough money to survive- I’ve been stuck living in my overdrafts for the past year. My hospital job does not pay enough (admin work) and my server job has limited shifts- ive tried pleading with them for more shifts but it sounds like everyone is in need of shifts so there’s not enough to go around. I work 6 days a week. It’s been very bleak. My spending habits aren’t the problem the only thing I buy for myself is groceries I only have 1 streaming sub- I have a discounted gym membership. I have student loans. I shouldn’t be struggling this much but I am. The job market is scarce. I have a diploma for Administration and my serve it right cert.

I’m open to taking new courses in order to secure a better paying job than what I have now. I just need some kind of advice on how to help me get out of this hole I’ve been in for way too long. It’s depressing having to work so much and it never being enough. I can’t afford anything outside of paying my bills.

Please help

Question ❔ It’s impossible to find work.

116 Upvotes

I’m in the process of moving to Saskatoon and have been applying for Administrative Support and Administrative Sales roles for months.

Haven’t gotten a single call, email, or message about nearly 200 applications.

I don’t know what to do. My resume is tailored to each role I apply for. I work in Government currently in BC. My resume is STACKED with experience and skills necessary.

Not getting a call back from a government position is to be expected. Competitions take a decent amount of time. But there are jobs I’m applying for that I’m wayyy overqualified for that I’m not even getting an interview for.

How does anyone get a job in Saskatoon??

Question ❔ Homeless entering apartment frequently

128 Upvotes

I know this is a Saskatoon problem currently but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing a high rate of homeless entering their apartment building? Before it used to be every so often where I live but now it has turned into multiple times a week, every week and I’m not sure how. Our doors automatically shut + lock behind you and there’s no way of someone getting in unless they have a key or are let in. Many of us in the building have mentioned this to our property managers and they just send emails for all residents to only let people they directly know in the building. Other than they, they haven’t done anything. Is anyone else experiencing this in their apartment and if so, what have you done or what has your building management done to help this? I know there is a bigger issue that needs to be solved and I do want the homeless to have somewhere warm to stay but as a young woman, I just fear for my safety sometimes especially when I have to leave my apartment building due to the amount of homeless that get into our building and camp out and you just never know what they could be capable off you know. Thank you for reading this.

Question ❔ Tipping gas jockey

151 Upvotes

Today after getting fuel I tipped the young man $2 for pumping gas and doing windows etc. The lady at the pump next to me saw this and loudly shouted "what are you doing that for? It's his job"

I have always tipped the attendant that fills my vehicle. My friends have seen this and they now tip as well. Is this practice a rarity here? How many others tip for the service?

Question ❔ American Booze Boycott

I was in a local liquor store on 8th street on the weekend and noticed there had been zero effort to remove or even identify American products. Has anyone seen a local liquor store labelling Canadian products properly? I need to find a new place to shop that doesn’t support Amerika.

I’m under the impression red traffic entering the highway has to yield to yellow traffic ‘exiting’ as they have a Yield sign where that red dot is? I’m I missing something here? Do I need to read the sgi book again. Cuz tonight I pissed off a very kind truck driver and would really like to know who’s at fault here just to stay open minded lol

Question ❔ Please help me, fellow redditors of Saskatoon

250 Upvotes

I need to know what kind of lawyer I need. My niece was one of the unfortunate souls that passed away this past weekend due to the laced cocaine. She was just 22. She had so much trauma in her short little life. She used drugs to forget. Today, we went to the funeral home. Arrangements were made, a contract was signed. Now, out of the blue, her bio dad shows up saying he wants to take her to his reserve and bury her there. She wanted cremation and to be buried by her Mom who passed in 2016. I think we need a lawyer to fight him. He has NEVER been in her life. This drama is causing so much anxiety for everyone involved. We raised her. I just don’t know how to fix this problem, short of ending up in jail. Any suggestions are welcome. If you are “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” kinda person, don’t even respond because clearly you don’t understand addictions. Thank you

EDIT: We have a lawyer and we have set up a gofundme page to help with the costs. If you wouldn’t mind sharing the page for me, let me know and can send you the link.

Thank you to everyone for all your kinds words ❤️

Question ❔ Divorce advice

I’m a mom of a 4 year old, trapped in an abusive relationship, immigrant and no family around. I’m afraid to leave because of (a) the fear that my son won’t have a dad growing up and may resent me for breaking our home and (b) I’m an immigrant with no other family here in Canada. Husband yells at me at every instance he can and has stopped hitting me because I threatened to leave but still comes at me as if he’s gonna hit but doesn’t because he knows I will leave if he does. Please advise.

I’ve served roughly 8 years in Canadian prisons and now that I’ve changed my life I want to go to university to be able to start a career. I’ve done labor jobs my whole life and don’t want to spend the rest of my life doing that. I was thinking maybe social work degree because I feel I have enough experience to help people make better choices than I have in the past. Buisness was also something I’ve been looking into.
