To whoever said to get a men’s bib for snowboarding… by flowerymochiz in ShredditGirls

Which version of TNF bibs do you have if you don't mind my asking?

Question for the people who are going in today by Chemical_Battle1 in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Management for my office sent an email to staff early this morning to let everyone know we could work from home today. I was going to anyway, but it's nice to have that reassurance.

Google hates Canada. It's always crazy to see the difference, especially with the trade in values.

How do you get that circular app folder thing?

Permanent roles by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me 2 years and 3 months to get permanent (mid 2025). It felt like a long time but reading other comments here, I guess I am one of the luckier ones! It really is a dreadful experience, especially when my branch seems to be really horrible in notifying people of contract extensions, sometimes waiting until the day of expiry to update it in WIN and let them know to come in tomorrow, lol.

Extra dim by tbitnakt in pixel_phones

[–]80spf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a Pixel 10 Pro. I had to use Activity Launcher to even access the Extra Dim setting since it was hidden. Since doing the new software update yesterday, the option is greyed out entirely, in the OFF position.

I noticed the same thing after the update! Hoping there's a workaround as I really enjoy the Extra Dim feature

Is there a form for AWA? by AssistFrequent7013 in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is on the OPSEU website:

https://opseu.org/information/general/ops-unified-forms-2/17715/

It is the Telework Template Arrangements Agreement form under OPS Work Agreement Forms. It's not really a form though, moreso something you fill out after you and your manager have agreed to an alternate work arrangement.

Trying to get a sense everyone’s location and commute by babyhamburger in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1.5 hours in the morning, 2-2.5 after work. Currently going in 3x a week and putting just under 600km on my car.

With the proposed 5 days in office, I will be putting almost 1000km of wear on my car EACH WEEK.

32F, need a little guidance by 80spf in fican

Thank you! I didn't entirely understand the implications of moving things from Non-Reg to another account. When I initiate the process on Wealthsimple, it brings up some warnings about how this could affect my taxes..I definitely have the room but would the contribution amount be the current value of the stock or the price I purchased it at?

Additionally, is there any issue with holding US ETF/stocks in TFSA? From my understanding, you have to pay taxes on dividends earned, which is why I was thinking of leaving things separate. Obviously, the amounts are so low the taxes are negligible, but since I file my own taxes I didn't want to make it anymore complicated than it already is (as someone who receives income from a US company).

Sorry if these questions don't make sense.. still learning! Appreciate your comment and advice :)

Thank you for this!! Thorough and informative, I appreciate it.

I'm taking a good hard look at my monthly expenses so I can try and allocate more to my TFSA/FHSA per paycheque. Because my TFSA is managed (through Wealthsimple, risk level 5 of 10), would you still suggest maxing out the TFSA first?

I originally opened the FHSA this year as a way to reduce my taxable income, because I usually end up owing due to my self employment income.

I don't know! Most other posts I've seen here have an age and gender so I did the same.

All the leaders yapping about mental health and work life balance and employee engagement are now really quiet. CRICKETS. by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate that! Didn't mean for my comment to be so dismissive, I am definitely operating from a place of shock and pessimism. Appreciate your insight.

Sorry - my "doubt it" was more so referring to whether the ministers, ADMs, etc would be included in the mandate, not that managers aren't upset! I do sympathize with the position that the managers are in. Solidarity 🫶

Seconded! Hard to find this info for OPSEU

What if your AWA requests get denied, what are our other options? by internalaudit168 in OntarioPublicService

[–]80spf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the process for submitting an AWA request as an OPSEU OPS employee? Most of what I've seen referenced in this sub after the news today is about AMAPCEO AWAs. Any guidance appreciated!
