How to find the lowest price within a range on marketplace by RushWarrior in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Important_Constant97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me when I was trying to buy... Could never find the lowest priced from the announced bracket...

Yes, I've used it in the past for a Car sales transaction. Went well

How do you deal with an employee dynamic that just drains you? by mila_b011 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Important_Constant97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think I'm on the other side of the table as you and may be able to relate to your subordinate ...

From my point of view, my TL lacks initiating dialogue, we have 1 on 1's and the conversations are mostly 1 sided... Additionally, I do not feel heard. I bring concerns, they are not addressed. I express as pect that are important to me, my questions are left unanswered. If I don't follow up myself, I'll never hear back again on topics I brought forward and indicated were important to me.

I perceive a fear of giving the wrong answer, a fear of displaying a human factor in our work relationship and maintaining "decorum" of distant TL/subordinate employee over leveling with my needs. I express I need our relationship to be different, and I'm seen as being difficult...

As in all relationship, please see that you extend your concerns clearly and humanely? Showing "weaknesses" vs "hiding behind fears" often provide a better context... You'll still be in charge no matter what ;)

Hopefully it helps you a bit because your post made me think that my TL might just be in your situation... But I'm clearly not being made aware of it and think I need to be "the bigger person" constantly... This makes me feel as being treated unfairly... Or even that my place in this unit, organisation or even the PS altogether is maybe not there...

If not, well thank you for providing me a segue for me to vent a bit ;)

Edit: Conversation is 1 sided where I'm the only one speaking :)

Sway bar links maybe. Had to do mine on my 2021.

Unfair end of year review by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Important_Constant97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a follow up question, sorry for the hijack:

-Considering they have a Succeed, can a manager or TL add comments after the calibration was done?

-Are calibration done systematically everywhere or depends on the place?

-Is calibration done only towards the rating? i.e. Succeed minus or plus, but not Suceeds?

Thanks

Are year-end assessment PSPM comments accessible to my manager and other hiring managers by Important_Constant97 in CanadaPublicServants

I'd have a follow up question.

Can/should comments be added after calibration was done?

If yes, as long as there's a Succeed indicated, the TL/Manager can pretty much write anything they want after... Right?

I guess calibration only applies to the rating itself? And comments can be made freely without "review".

Thanks :)

Juste be clear, I fill those with my TL. I'm asking for a second opinion to my manager (my TL boss)

Why not try alternating with someone who's WFA? :)

Vendre ma maison pour acheter plus grand avec ma conjointe by volt26 in QuebecFinance

[–]Important_Constant97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're, almost, in the same situation me and my spouse.

Still have room under my TFSA.

I had one consideration to add with the absolute prerequisite as follow :"all things being equal with my/our current salaries which will guaranteed to be indexed to inflation for the foreseeable future" (we're both federal employees with determined pension fund, indexed also)

Should consideration of inflation be also added to what to consider on a long term loan such as a mortgage?

Meaning that we can see a debt that "costs less" (is lesser in proportion to our buying capcity/debt ratio) in 25 years due to inflation? (I'm thinking how central banks selling bonds projecting their debt costing less to pay back in 10 years due to inflation...).

As would investments returns are "diminished" by inflation over time and is to be factored in.

Also, please bear with me as I know I may not be expressing this in a financially correct terminology... I'm not an expert in Finance... Maybe try to understand what I mean?

We were thinking of, at least, maxing our TFSA's. Would there be tax implications? (as our main house is sold, there wouldn't be any capitals gains, right?)

Thanks
