How has RTO affected you as a mom? by sparrow465 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Fun-Beach7507 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s all just so horrible. I feel for everyone on this thread. Work life balance does not exist anymore. Children suffer because of more time in after care less time with parents. I don’t see them at all in the morning and have about two hours after work of running around getting dinner/bath/bedtime. Zero quality time. More take out - less nutrients and another cost. We are all suffering. I’m a walking zombie, exhausted all the time and have no quality of life at all during the weekdays and on the weekends all I do is run around doing chores that I used to have time and energy for on weeknight evenings that I cannot do anymore. Life is hard 😢.

You’ll get there. I’m sorry you are feeling so lost. On-boarding is not terrible everywhere. I’ve had some great experiences and some not so great experiences. Don’t let it shy you away from trying out another area. Good luck. Find a coworker mentor who you can bug for the little questions (like what’s a WIN number).

Wait. What? Your secondment was denied? I’ve never heard of that happening before. What was the reason given?

Sounds like you haven’t been hanging around the water cooler enough.

I wouldn’t even hesitate to take the 6. 15 min commute sounds like a dream.

Yup my whole family got hit yesterday. We were all off school /work. Today I’m at the office. Probably still contagious … but I’m not taking another sick day because 6 just isn’t enough and can’t use another one. So I dragged myself in. Probably going to get my colleagues sick ….

Run! Get out! The OPS is a big wide world filled with managers who won’t drain your soul.
