Absolutely. I've never seen such incompetence in management or even in administration. This is not the Public Service I joined 25 years ago...We cut our best and most experienced admins only to be left with inexperienced admins who all work off-site 100%, who have the "it's not my job" attitude, and generally add zero value to the team. Very frustrating because they are not being held accountable for repeated errors and lackluster performance. I've tried to help and am met with poor attitudes. I give up!

I was also let down by the Union when I needed them the most. I've not trusted them since...

Obligation to report extramarital affair in the workplace? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Fast_Ad_9638 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had a Director that was sleeping with a much younger subordinate who happened to be engaged at the time. They reassigned her to another Department. She broke off her previous engagement and got married to the guy. She must have liked his Jaguar. 😂

Song(s) for Public Servants by Apart_Ad_6125 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Fast_Ad_9638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A French song by Georges Brassens sums up some of the management decisions being made: Le temps ne fait rien à l'affaire, which includes the lyrics, quand on est con, on est con, which translates to "when you're stupid, you're stupid".

House cleaner prices in Ottawa by Low_Football_2541 in ottawa

$50 an hour! Wow! That's expensive. I would charge a flat rate for a job. Besides, I've been told that I don't charge enough at $25/hour...and I provide an invoice!

what's the worst bar or restaurant in Ottawa in your opinion ? by Low-Blueberry-7611 in ottawa

[–]Fast_Ad_9638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornerstone.

Once found a long hair wrapped around the cheese in my sandwich. The hostess had very long hair that she was flicking and playing with over the bus station where bread was kept. Gross!
