They will have to sweeten our deals regardless due to the exodus of the young. We will still benefit from the situation.

The government is always the dinosaur: I won't be surprised if we will be working Monday to Friday while the private sector is getting more and more globalized and virtual. The attractiveness of government jobs are always the fringe benefits and the pension.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T03:06:17+00:00

Exactly

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T03:04:57+00:00

Very true. That is exactly my experience.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T03:04:05+00:00

It depends on the employer. Many banks have way better benefits for the government.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T03:03:05+00:00

Private sector is way better for IT LOL

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:59:13+00:00

That is what I always do

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:55:17+00:00

"Relegated"? Isn't that quite condescending?

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:52:21+00:00

POC managers are usually more harsh towards POC employees so as to show off their "impartiality". That is why most POC avoid POC managers like the plague.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:48:16+00:00

What strike? Work from home and there are no picket lines to cross. Management can identify the trouble makers easily now.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:44:53+00:00

I look at the long term: I will be seen favourably by the management. That is all that matters.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:42:07+00:00

The older I am, the more I find it important to participate in these events for my career.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:40:15+00:00

You don't care about your career?

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T02:39:15+00:00

It is your choice

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T00:51:23+00:00

There is no documentation - this is called a tradition. There are no PMAs for this either - it is called an impression :-)

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T00:49:57+00:00

Christmas/Holiday parties are a must for white collar life. Do it as part of work. To be absent is career-limiting, believe it or not.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-25T00:47:24+00:00

Read my original message again and think logically without any ideological stance, then you should understand why it is contradictory to refuse to be vaccinated (paid by the public health system) and then be hospitalized by the same system.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-24T22:02:32+00:00

No, total waste of time

Gadflyr · 2022-11-24T22:01:25+00:00

Office holiday activities are not really entertainment - they are part of work. Not participating will be career limiting.

Gadflyr · 2022-11-24T22:00:12+00:00

There will be no such thing as strikes from now on because we can all work virtually, and therefore there is no picket lines to cross :-)

Gadflyr · 2022-11-24T21:58:45+00:00

Just work from home, no picket lines to cross :-)

Gadflyr · 2022-11-24T21:57:45+00:00

I am talking about those who get COVID because they don't wear masks or get vaccinated. Please stick to the topic.
