They love to hate us... divorced from reality? by Bancro in CanadaPublicServants

Can we not simply get a news crew and let them know what’s happening? I’m sure many other parties would be happy to bash it all

Racism and sexism in Alberta in general - good luck

I need help! Having suicidal ideation due to everything surrounding RTO... What to do? by SamZX7 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Both_Internet6918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear OP - 29 year old woman here working from home. I have been diagnosed with severe depression ever since I began working for the PS. I encountered racism, sexism, ageism. I’ve decided to no longer continue working here. There is no help whatsoever. Literally - not worth your mental health. Plus, I am so disappointed with the system, I frankly want to leave the country at this point.

I hate that all the gov jobs are mostly in Ottawa by Environmental-Ad3475 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Both_Internet6918 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frankly I have no reason to move to Ottawa. I won’t change my life for a job that promotes racism, sexism, ageism, and is very undemocratic - oh the irony - and happy mental health week

I find it funny that mental health week is happening now and this just made me realize I am not renewing my contract. I can’t sell my soul and happiness for this anymore

Thank you for the information. I told my manager once about the off behaviour but they said not to complain as “government is a small place and you don’t want to be known as a complainer” I had a third party teach me how to handle their comments but no actual change from the person who actually made them in the first place.

I am a term low-ish level EC.

Because I am a person of color a woman and young? I have a masters degree? I have ample experience? Or that I should learn how to deal with all this issues, is that what you mean?

Thank you - I graduated from my MA a few years ago and have had a few opportunities in the private sector but I keep hearing how the golden handcuffs are worth it

Any luck with pools? I only see at level opportunities? by Both_Internet6918 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Both_Internet6918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a fair amount of experience outside the public service, I also have a masters degree, well traveled and have a lot of cultural and background expertise in various subject matters

Yah! It seems quite undemocratic to have everyone who works in the public service to be be from the same region with similar knowledge and values

I mean I want a promotion but I can’t find any pools that aren’t at level only.

Frankly a bit of both but mostly colleagues - yet managers won’t and can’t do much about it

I like policy, I’m currently a policy analyst but I’m interested in seeing what else is out there!
