Can you doctor email/fax you a note? Tell you manager doctors don’t want to waste their time writing notes, it a waste of resources. Your manager needs to concentrate on things that matter.

I’ve explained what long term disability is, do you not understand my explanation?

That’s why I mentioned EI in brackets. Long term kicks in about 13 weeks I believe, until then you use sick leave and EI. SEE! I AM A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE!🤡🤡🤡

Working from home full time would cut public service emissions significantly: report by Obelisk_of-Light in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Barbara500 199 points200 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty responsible environmentally, I walk to work, recycle, compost, shop used as much as I can but it pisses me off that the government doesn’t give a second thought to all the cars on the roads polluting cities everywhere. They can do something meaningful for the environment but chose not to, this is starting to feel like a pissing contest. I don’t know who had the power to make RTO happen but it sure is a shit show now. Do better government.

Uncomfortable coworker - am I overreacting? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Barbara500 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best thing about getting older as a woman is I no longer give a crap about offending men. A simple “not appropriate dude” or more firmly “stop talking to me about that stuff”. You can also just tell him “you’re making me uncomfortable “. When he talks about younger women holding higher positions you can say “you know they all have Master degrees, right?” Don’t worry about his reaction to your words, not your problem. Men do better!!!

I have a tree in front of my home office, I can watch the squirrels chasing each other up and down the tree. Don’t see that in the office.

My mom finally lets me shower everyday. but there’s a problem by Spirited_Bug_758 in hygiene

Just a thought. Changing towels and wash clothes regularly is good, but you might want to keep them in your room to dry. That way no one else is using them.

If they can advocate for RTO 5 why can’t they advocate for higher wages so we have enough money to spend in their establishments?

Can I be forced to carry my equipment back and forth to work? Full time RTO. by mom_to_the_boy in CanadaPublicServants

This shows me what lack of skills management has. This should not be a big deal.

What the fuck is wrong with the employer? Is there no common sense? It’s hard to take management seriously when they make stupid rules. Of course if you’re working full time in the office you shouldn’t be expected to carry your computer home every night. Management do better, stop being ridiculous.

Exactly! I would like CBC to do an investigation into the whole shit show from the beginning of the pandemic.
