Thoughtful Thursday
Alberta headlines an announcement that there are 3,500 new positions for childcare in Alberta in 51 different communities. So I read the report. Which can be found here....http://www.child.alberta.ca/home/587.cfm . It comes down to 3,489 positions at the cost of $4,853,940.00 that comes out to $1,391.21 per position. Makes me wonder. Red Deer my community gets 68 positions at two differernt centres and $102,000, which works out to 1,500.00 per position. I just do not get it. I am pulled aside at daycare yesterday where my 4 year old DS attends full time. The owner of the centre tells me that C has left, that the other C is being moved to a new room, and that a brand new C, and J are going to start, and lead will be held by N who has been there two weeks. The daycare owner tells me she doesn't know why but she cannot keep staff in that room. I pay $775.00 a month for him to attend daycare, I pay $255.00 a month for my daughter to attend after school care from 3-6 on school days. ...

The job had a lot more to it that wasn't really explained to me before I accepted it. Basically if I had signed the contract I would have been signing in for 2 years. If I bowed out before 2 years I had to pay back the portion of my training costs I hadn't 'earned back' for the business... $30,000 worth. Also the commission was explained but when I started I got to see how much the other consultants were making... not much at all. And to top it off if I didn't make 7,500 a month profit for the shop (as an idea a $3000 trip to the UK makes $240 profit for the shop) I stand to lose my job.
I was stressing out, freaking out, having panic attacks so I cam home from training and talked it out with Mike. We decided it wasn't worth the stress so I didn't sign the contract. So now I am on the search for something else. Hope that explains it better :) Missing my SJ girls!
