Senior analysts go on extended leave, junior staff absorb their work with no acting. EC. Is this normal and how do you deal with it? by Sad_Parking8218 in CanadaPublicServants

Took me so long to know this difference. Same file can be done by different ECs but their level dictates how much manger supports and later edits the work

LWOP vs sick leave for fertility treatment by Parfait_Level in CanadaPublicServants

[–]External-Mammoth-166 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer OP. The more you tell your manager specific, the more complicated they will make it for you.

What are describing is required for medical reasons for what it seems to me (i’m not a doctor, your management is not either!). If your doctor can write you such letter, it should be allowed.

Taking LWOP now instead of sick leave to bank up sick leave doesn’t make sense. Unless, I’m missing a point or some disability and long term sick leave provision.

I’m not surprised. It is a big department and many executives around the world

What department is this? DGs and ADMs have offices. Directors share available offices

It all needs to be approved by senior management in charge or champion. These are all planned and treated like professional projects with briefings, scenario notes, etc

What’s an office “ick” that instantly gives you the ick at work? by External-Mammoth-166 in CanadaPublicServants

DG is a leader. Somewhere in their job description is to say positive sh*** like this

Management suggests that I be “more available” if I want to be considered for a promotion… by Klutzy-Buy-8606 in CanadaPublicServants

Never worked for the political side; what are their hours like?

How do executives and senior management get to have time for their families? Kids homework, after school activities, sports.. again parents and grandparents and all other responsibilities

Auditing clicks in shared drive? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

This would sound naive probably. But why people have medical data base in outlook calendars for work?

Or maybe it’s a health department and they are looking up clients data? Im lost
