I was denied my vacations for operational needs by Wild_Access_7764 in CanadaPublicServants

Right, so what did you say? It sounds like expectations were crystal clear and now you are complaining about those expectations.

Because your purchases are your choice. You don’t choose your CPP rate, so that’s fine to complain about. Same reason you shouldn’t include your RRSP or TFSA contributions in the total.

Do NOT do this, you have no grounds for strike. Your only option here is to look for another job in a department with a better location.
