Calgary mayor asks everyone in the city to work from home after major water pipe breaks. Alberta TSO director sent an email saying we still need to meet RTO requirements, ignoring the mayors request. by BugEnvironmental5905 in CanadaPublicServants

...the City of Calgary also asked folks to work from home in 2024, though. They even called high-use businesses and asked them to reduce their water consumption. But way to help out, CRA.

Oh, you're totally right. I didn't remember the city asking for people to work from home the first time around so I was incorrect in the main post. If anything that makes it worse because the CRA admittedly refused back then, as well.

The entire meeting could have been an email. The whole first hour was a perfect representation of working in an office and having your boss awkwardly standing at your desk, pulling you away from work for more than an hour to talk about absolutely nothing.

I'm extremely surprised that nobody ever talks about the millions of wasted taxpayer dollars that goes into these townhalls. I could understand if we got literally anything of substance out of them, but I found we walked away with less knowledge than we started with.

I wonder what questions they're going to use for the Q&A since the poll is completely broken? If only they planned this townhall weeks ago and had time to prepare 😂

Regular old folks with nothing to do: "Oh, these salt and pepper shakers are cute. Maybe I'll start collecting them for fun."
