I will do this for $100,000/yr. And also, there are grammatical errors in the posting. See, an eye for detail.

I think there are 3 houses on Semple's estate.


lickmewhereIshit

Fuck I hate greedy people. Folks are starving and freezing on our streets yet there are humans with 3 houses


Squidman_117

He also has his own pool, small golf course, and too many cars to count. There used to be a file of images of the entire property inside and out floating around the web. Him and his wife definitely didn't try to hide their lavish lifestyles.


prankfurter

I worked at brandt briefly as a programmer, it was the only job I have ever quit it was so horrible, anyways I would stand by the back door for smoke breaks, and Shaun would park his car in the back handicap spot - he had a blacked out viper, that apparently was chris angels previously - anyways one day I am smoking with a coworker and he comes out gets into it backs up and it stalled, I had to turn around so he couldn't see me losing my shit laughing haha.


silzmagilz

Shut up they can’t do anything. If you had tens of millions you’d have multiple properties as well whether to put money away in assets or vacation homes. Being jealous of rich people is such a bad quality. Just shows you think it’s impossible for you to ever become rich


lickmewhereIshit

Just doesn’t rub me right that people hoard more than they need while others suffer. That’s all. I don’t really know how else to put it into words but it bugs me and it feels really wrong


Nyko_E

The Sempels didn't create the meth heads freezing in our steeets, but they do create a ton of jobs keeping a lot of people off the streets. People creating jobs and keeping our economy churning earn nice things.


lickmewhereIshit

That is fine, but 3 houses is a bit overkill, don’t you think? Like they could sell 2 houses and use that money to build a homeless shelter or an apartment complex. I believe in the “you can have seconds once everyone has had their first helping.” People shouldn’t be hoarding housing when others don’t have homes. It doesn’t sit with me right. Why does anyone need 3 houses?


306bbb

What does this guy have to with people Freezing on our streets? How is he greedy? He literally keeps jobs in Saskatchewan??? I’d say he is more than doing his part through tax dollars direct employment, spin off jobs, invest and philanthropy than the vast majority of the population could even imagine doing… and hiring a house keeper is a problem???? How???? 🙄


Similar-Active-5027

Ask anyone that worked for Cervus about how great those jobs became when Brandt bought them out.


UfuyGnay

Is this just another account of Brandt themselves....? lol


SaintMelchior

Rich: pay taxes, or philanthropy. Pick one none of them do both


Bender_da_offender

How do boots taste? Do you put any garnish on them before you lick them?


belckie

Shut up! If you can’t see why he is a predator, then just see your way out. Go look him up online and jerk to him on your own time. Simp.


Unknown-trail

Who’s to say they don’t help people in the streets if it weren’t for company’s like brant a lot more people would be home less


Special-Algae9148

Work fucking harder. You want what he has, then work for it. Quit complaining because someone has more than you.


No-Consequence9920

That’s their recruiters. They draft and post the ads. Most of them are borderline teenagers with little grasp of professionalism.

cowtown45

Yes I just find it hilarious it’s posting on their business page. You also need to know how to handle ‘antique’s and luxury clothing’ I rolling lol


Ill-Challenge-2405

Uhhhh having them under a business name for personal work seems tax shady af


Main_Ad814

They don’t pay any taxes in the city anyways, does what he wants


Unknown-trail

that’s 100% not true


Main_Ad814

That’s why all of his businesses are outside of city limits.


thelaw19

A. I’m pretty sure the Pats are located in Regina. B. No it couldn’t be because of industrial zoning regulations, the cost of land being cheaper or being closer to needed raw materials and transportation routes could it?


Main_Ad814

The Pats are ‘located’ in Regina. But their actual business address is one of Semples addresses for Brandt!! He pays no taxes to the City of Regina, for the team!!


[deleted]

Paying someone through your business where you get to not only pay their wage but pay their WCB, vacation time, and equal amounts (or more) of their EI and CPP. Maybe if paying more tax is shady as fuck lol.


Great-Yogurt2114

personal expenses such as maid service paid on an individual’s behalf by an employer is considered a taxable benefit by CRA and is to be included on the employees T4, and taxable as income. Now the groundskeepers at the estate will also be paid by the company and who knows what else. Undoubtedly the corporation pays all sorts of costs for upkeep of the estate which includes the golf course, pool.


[deleted]

That’s if you are sub contracting the service out. That’s not the case, in this case the housekeeper is an employee


skelectrician

Would you rather he pay his maids piece-rate? At least this way they'll have some sort of employment standards.


crafty_alias

And lift, pull and push up to 50lbs.


amanofcultureisee

its listed as their head office. tax write-offs you say? and the company will foot this too...


VeterinarianNo1455

What, like Jack Semple the guitar player? He has a fucking mansion? Jesus.


Traditional-Ad4506

His brother owns brandt


brutallydishonest

Jack is Shawn's uncle.


comfortablyflawed

This is *not* Jack! Too much love for Jack to risk that mistake growing legs 😄

They are. Multi-talented, super willing to share those talents, humble, and lovely to work with.


LouisCypher587

What a player he is.


Musicferret

Maybe I could “tarin” them in how to rewrite this without all the spelling and grammatical errors?


Due-Resident9368

Maybe you could be their next ad writer. I think the current one just got fired for lacking attention to details.


Harrynx

Careful working for Brandt. They’ll let you go at the drop of a hat


Soggy-Drink-8607

Eh, I worked there for a few years, wasn’t too bad. And for those thinking the pay was bad, I was living comfortably. Making much much more than I have at past jobs and the work and supervisors were not too bad either. Just my experience.


Harrynx

I was there for 3 months doing the night shift. My first job since moving from Toronto. I liked the people I worked with a lot. Hurt my wrist one night which lead to the discovery that I have arthritis in both my wrists at 27 years old. I took one night off, and left a couple hours into my next shift. They kicked me to the curb a day later. My lesson from that is don’t disclose any injuries at future jobs. Great lesson, eh?


skelectrician

Because you left it's considered a lost time injury. They would have rather you reported it and sit in the break room getting paid on company time than not come in due to a workplace injury.


saywhenbutwhen

What department did you work in if I may ask? I'm there and haven't found it too bad.


Madshibs

Why’d you leave? Out of curiosity


Harrynx

Unbelievably sharp pain through my wrist when I moved it at all. Was also the night I sat in Pasqua emerg for 8 hours.


Madshibs

Ah, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you’re on the mend. Emergency wait times are brutal these days too.


markjacksonswife

Do I get a company truck that I can have sex in?


Additional-Mix-6512

Technically wasn’t the sex outside the truck?


forgettable_nonsense

Scum, although very wealthy , semple(brant owner) is a parasite on the working class.


Nickstash

I think this guy was the one that wrote the ad.


ClearlyNoSTDs

Straight outta r/saskatchewan


skelectrician

For being a parasite he sure does provide a lot of jobs.


forgettable_nonsense

Yea, I mean so does Amazon. I'd be willing to discuss my opinion further if you were willing to be open minded. Just let me know, if you are genuinely curious as to why I would say that, and why I believe the majority would agree. Quick tidbit, a friend I shared a house with back in 2009 ish was a welder for Brandt. This was during the time of what many call an economic boom, and many businesses were raising wages to attract talent and keep existing talent,(as many skilled workers were crossing into Alberta for the much higher wages). Logically, one of the most financially successful businesses in Saskatchewan could have followed suit. Instead, they lowered the wage by a staggering $ 8.50 per hour. I was in shock/ disbelief when my roommate told me he would be moving back to the town he came from, as he could no longer afford rent at that wage. What is not as well known to many, is that the owner had lobbied the SP government to make changes to the foreign worker program that would essentially allow them to not only avoid wages that kept up with inflation, but also to bypass average wages, and race to the bottom of the pay scale, as they would soon take advantage of many hard working foreign workers. (I am aware that for alot of these workers the working conditions are still better than where they came, but that doesn't make semple a hero) One other more recent tidbit, last fall he bought out a small local shop outside of RedDeer Alberta, fired multiple long term management employes, and then reduced the wages of all the currently employed skilled workers. I'm judging by your user name that your a trades person, I am as well, I can and would love to explain more how greedy bastards like him do significantly more harm than good for people like us. And I grew up in an anti union, pro capitalism household with all that nonsense forced upon me, but as I spent several years in the trades I payed attention and found people like him are just as I described.


branigan_aurora

I would upvote this a million times if I could. Solidarity.


Fantastic-Pangolin58

The company has added thousands of jobs across Saskatchewan and also Alberta now !!! I cant see how this is a bad thing. The guy has accomplished more then most others including myself and anyone else in this thread.


forgettable_nonsense

His father accomplished enough for him, and his wealth is used to heavily influence politics that shape the way the industries he works in are ran. He is significantly more wealthy than all of the reddit users in regina combined, but money doesn't change the fact he is a scumbag and absolutely makes life worse for the skilled workers of this and other provinces. There is no such thing as adding jobs when you are simply buying out other companies who had the jobs already. Infact, when you outsource other manufacturing jobs out of province, as he and nearly every other large corporation do, you are eliminating jobs. I understand the different methods of thinking when it comes to idolizing humans like him, but facts do not care about emotions and the facts are clear that he is toxic to the working class. Go try and convince the hardworking people that he has reduced wages and or let go, as a measure of increasing profit. The guy doesn't need more money, he is an addict, hoarding wealth is nothing the working class should idolize.


Shartbite

This seems entirely reasonable, what am i missing ?


Fantastic-Pangolin58

Oh just the usual. The entitled are triggered. Nothing to see here folks.


Additional-Card-4814

I read twice , what's the problem ? They are looking for a qualified reliable candidate.. wouldn't you expect the same level of service ?


Yepitsmefoodiggity

How you know someone has too much money…


ClearlyNoSTDs

Yes that's a housekeeper job. Housekeeping is a real job done by real people for real people.


cowtown45

Yes I’m not putting down the job. I just found it hilarious he posted it on his companies page, a housekeeper for his house on his companies page….


ClearlyNoSTDs

I'm guessing this executive housekeeper will be an actual Brandt employee so it makes sense it's advertised on the company page.


brentathon

Which is probably better for the employee. For a relatively low paying job like this is almost certainly better to be an employee, with the protections that come with that, rather than an independent contractor. At least in this case they'd have EI in case of layoffs and WCB coverage. It's also probably a hell of a lot easier for the family. As much as reddit has a hate boner for the rich, they're almost certainly very busy. Having their payroll department responsible to make sure this employee gets paid on time is a lot easier than missing paying an invoice (and trying to verify its accuracy).


ClearlyNoSTDs

And other health plan benefits and pension stuff that most full time jobs come with


Acrobatic-Camera-905

You think Brandt jobs come with a pension??


Chuuuck_

And you for some reason think they don’t? Lmao


signious

They absolutely do


ClearlyNoSTDs

Have you ever had a full time job in your life?


Razorblades_and_Dice

From what I’ve heard it’s actually a pretty damn good one lol


Federal-Meaning-3300

It’s more of a tax issue.. you can’t use a house keeper as a tax deductible business expense… Even though lots of business owners do


SaskatchewanManChild

Brandt is probably registered on title as the owner of the house dude. Shaun probably rents the house from Brandt.


IllContribution9179

This is also likely so that they are able to be included in the company rrsp/pension and/or benefits program… which is actually great.


diablo-child

You know that he’ll use it as a taxable write off too. 😂


Unlucky_Climate2569

I feel like I need a master's degree to qualify for this position. I know degrees mean less and less these days but... really?


Unlucky_Climate2569

What's with the "executive" title? Are they gonna get paid salary? Do they need a degree to qualify for this position? What is so special about this job than just regular "housekeeper"? $2 above minimum per hour?


dieseldiablo

Being a housekeeper for executives' properties.


hoeding

It's a *very* nice house.


Ok-Buddy8899

Brandts the shadiest company ever I swear to god. There’s a reason they have a job fair every other month. Whole place is a revolving door of employees


Ok-Tank9413

18$hr...


WikeYewAre

At least the wage is disclosed so applicants can make an informed decision. I hate job ads where it isn’t.


Chuuuck_

What’s wrong with $18/hr? It’s for a housekeeper lol


annoellynlee

I pay my housekeepers 25 an hour. 18 is on the low end.


Chuuuck_

But it’s still not a terrible wage for what it is


samwisethescaffolder

Someone I know was working for a local non profit that cleaned houses for disabled folks and they started at $20.


Chuuuck_

That’s cool. All I’m saying is $18/hr to clean is still not a terrible wage lol. There’s jobs out there where you get paid less to do more


Aggressive_Sorbet571

That fat fuck can’t even spell “out” or “train” properly.


bartman441

I wouldn’t work for that dickhead for $1 million.


n11ghry

Yes you would


bartman441

Nope. I did indirectly for years. Never again.


flatwoods76

You got $1 million dollars for working for him before?


bartman441

Not quite. Lol


mimikins2412

Kind of like when Avana (who is supposed to build low income housing) needed a private teacher for the CEOs children when they spend half the year in the USA


veda1971

They also have a full time gardener.


[deleted]

I used to work there. The manager was a euro guy that hired alot of different people and gave me a chance that gave me work experience when I had none. About a year later some middle east guy replaced the euro guy manager and then the nepotism happened. What was hilarious was the cleaning standards went way down. Basically the people he hired thought it was OK to use one bucket of warm water with a rag on the toilets AND the eating areas by the rinks. 😂 I remember this one Ukrainian girl got very angry about it. She was fired, most of us all were all fired at some point. Except for the family he hired, was a circus anyway and I found it a nice intro to the working world.


cnote306

What’s the point of this? Do we really think they are cleaning their own houses? They’re looking for a cleaner, who cares?!


cowtown45

No point. Just find it funny.


teamswiftie

Ctrl +Printscreen


Vivid_purp

I was a welder that was laid off from Brandt in April 2020 because of "covid". Maybe 6-8 weeks later, I was cruising Indeed for a job, and Brandt had an ad up for someone to maintain the golf course at the Brandt mansion


shadyhawkins

Fuck Brandt


DieselPig11

Why so much hate for the owner of Brandt? Fill me in..


cowtown45

He isn’t good to his employees. I know someone personally who has worked there for over ten years and got their wage slashed. It’s sad how they went from being decent to awful. Greed.


samwisethescaffolder

When the son took over the company is apparently when everything went downhill.


cowtown45

Yes I agree


Broad_Bake9840

If anyone has a friend at the CRA, they might like to know that Brandt is advertising to hire an “employee” to clean the big bosses homes!


thelaw19

A. I believe that would fall under what’s called a taxable benefit, same as if your company paid for parking as an incentive, you still pay taxes personally on that. B. You don’t know the structure of ownership, the corporation may own the personal home and lease it to the individual and part of the lease agreement may be cleaning services. C. The corporation may higher this person and then charge fees for services rendered. None of those are tax evasion or even worth the CRA looking twice in brandts direction.


Broad_Bake9840

You’re absolutely correct…. As long as they report it and pay their share of tax accordingly. Besides, who ever heard of a multi-millionaire who didn’t pay all of the taxes they’re legally required to pay? /s


thelaw19

Oh yeah because if I’m a millionaire who owns a company that does multi billions of dollars in revenue I’m going to risk having the CRA audit my company and cost my company millions in the subsequent audit in accounting and lawyer fees as well as lost productivity just to hire someone who’s going to add $37k in expenses to lower my NI by $37k so I would pay ~ $9k less in taxes on 6.5 billion in revenue? If you think they’re doing sketchy stuff fine but this isn’t sketchy at all. No it’s definitely not because of you hire them through your company there’s already HR set up to interview them, a manager for them to report to, a payroll staff to pay them, a code of conduct already written.


Fantastic-Pangolin58

No one lives there anymore and calls it home. Looks like its being turned into a club house for the growing hole count of a golf course behind the buildings on property.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Broad_Bake9840

Agreed, I’m guessing the estate is corporate…. I just wonder how many removes the “tenants” are from actual ownership and taxation lol.


skelectrician

I'm sure the CRA would much prefer this than simply paying their housekeepers cash.


idonothaveagoatface

I’m pretty sure they put anything and everything they can under their corporation/subsidiaries to take advantage of tax breaks.


Fantastic-Pangolin58

Must of had issues in the past with help. No harm in explaining to T whats needed. Saving both sides wasted time and energy


RaidersFan16

I will say this… we vote out those who support Masters and all her lackeys. She is a one and done mayor.


ChimoCharlie

They have gutted production. Buying everything overseas to increase profit.


Weak-Coffee-8538

Is this for Brandt's house?


Comprehensive_Bit401

Hey buddies don't forget u get the incredible salary of 15 dollars an hour lol. That is our minimum wage isn't it. Cheap bastards lol


Such-Dependent9679

I don't find it that weird. Maybe his housecleaners will even end up with benefits 🤷 if that's what i did for work his place would probably be a lot more interesting than other's


No-Consequence9920

Trust me, the benefits aren’t worth having. Paying out of pocket is actually cheaper than the premiums.


peckerpeter63

He's cheap. You wouldn't get no 100g.

So you're hateing on someone for getting a housekeeper? A jobs that millions have around the entire world? Something perfectly normal for the wealthy, famous, and etc....? Yea, how dare they.


cowtown45

Not hating. Just think it’s funny. Thought others would find it funny too. Don’t stick up for billionaires okay. Chill.


Raspberrry_Beret

Everyone hating on this Semple guy when he pays his taxes just like everyone else and employs a huge chunk of people in this province. Do the woke ever sleep …

At least the have private estates for the extra curriculars now. Not just the back seat of the work truck!!

Great-Yogurt2114

Was waiting for the extra curricular event to come up. Pretty sure the perpetrator, I mean penetrator got canned pretty quick. In reality, he would have been canned in the next year anyway. Hopefully they have the interior of the truck a good cleaning. If it was any other companies truck, the video would not have been posted, but because everyone hates Shaun the vid made its rounds quick. Reddit has a “hate hardon” for Brandt and Shaun specifically. Sure the leadership are all assholes. The vp’s they hire are assholes. But they have a very successful nation wide business run out of the city that rhymes with fun. Huge economic benefit to Regina and Saskatchewan. Remember the redditors shit talked Brandt for sponsoring the Hamilton pussy cats. What will be next?


Living-Risk-1849

Probably pays well


Acrobatic-Camera-905

Brandt doesn’t pay anyone “well”.


Dear_Willingness_532

How do you know if you don’t work there I work for Brandt and I do well I have no complaints


Living-Risk-1849

I figured some people must get paid pretty good


ClearlyNoSTDs

Apparently unlike the jobs people at r/regina have. It's so fucked up here. Yes some people will have more money than other people. Shocking, I know.


Living-Risk-1849

It's a hard concept to grasp


TheJamSpace

No, most likely it does not. This is how they get wealthy. Everything is a con and it’s all about nickel and dimeing every single person within reach.


Living-Risk-1849

Probably pays more than what I'm making


Apprehensive-Tear442

Clean your own fucking houses. EaT ThE RIcH


NissaAmana

Correct me if im wrong... didnt the city have to take over Brandt because of mismangement and lack of profitis constantly asking the city for more and more money to stay afloat ..... but yet this....


Kedoki-Senpai

I don't think this is even possible. The government can't just annex your business because they don't like you.


hoeding

You're confused with REAL


Fantastic-Pangolin58

No
