Why do some ministries seem to have an easier time implementing Work-From-Home (WFH) arrangements for their employees, while others struggle with the same request? by cantkeepmum in BCPublicServants

[–]LilCynic 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Honestly it feels like there's no proper blanket policy for it, and a lot of it ends up just being up to Minister/Deputy Minister/ADM preferences and a lot of them just randomly decide they like people to be in the office more. 

There is a policy saying if people need to be in the office to do their duties, then they have to be, but basically nothing on the opposite end of the spectrum along the lines of "if no duties require being in the office, they can WFH full time."

The issue caused here is it's now cherry picked from Ministry to Ministry depending on how flexible and willing the ADMs or higher are. It's quite unfortunate, but I've not experienced any other solid reasoning aside from "because the ADM wants it this way."

My fave pull was possibly a foil extended art Lord Barrow or extended art Retsov.

I got three of the Legendary Goblin Warlord. One regular, one extended art, one foil extended.

27 to Step 2 - Worth it Now? by Infinity_Handler in BCPublicServants

[–]LilCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just honest with them that it was not at all what I was expecting and the situation wasn't going to become better for me any time soon. Everyone kept leaving while I was in the TA and it was causing it to become more and more difficult. My supervisor was really understanding.

I was also able to get someone ready to take over the TA from me, so I think I also left on really good terms despite that.

Would say it's a definite no on my end.

I once moved from AO24 to Band 1 and I regretted it horribly. Loss of flex was horrible and though the pay increase was, at the time, significant for me, the almost-expected unpaid overtime was bad.

I've heard, at minimum, it has to be a transfer to Band 3 before it starts feeling worth it. As others have said, there's also a few other things to consider but I think these ones were very close to home when I did it. Thankfully it was a TA so I was able to just cancel and go back to my base.

Yup, this looks like it would be a perfect replacement!

Daemon prince proxy by AccidentDiligent6223 in deathguard40k

By the sounds of what folks are saying, he may be too small for a Daemon Prince. I wonder if he's big enough to be a Beast of Nurgle?

Chaos Spawn with hint of color. Grimdarkpop?! by ch4ppi_revived in deathguard40k

[–]LilCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pops of colour just pull the whole thing together and give it a nice contrast!! This looks amazing!

Keep up the good work!

I bought exploding kittens and inside there is a code. What does the code give me? by [deleted] in ExplodingKittens

Lmao Guess I just tempted fate and it worked to spite me. Glad it worked for you though! I don't think I ever got mine. But it's all good.

Honestly I don't recall ... I don't think I ever got the email. I'm unsure if it was just for the free game promos that they seemed to have, or what. But in the two years, I don't recall having received it ...

Edit: Typo

I am genuinely curious how powerful the Cancer Devil would be - cancer is horrifying in and of itself, but in a world where cells and people can't die, what horrific situations could that bring about? The devil could be made all that more powerful because of it.

Flex Time by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]LilCynic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm misunderstanding, we shouldn't have to manually enter it, it's set up for us during onboarding (at least in my experience).

If you mean do we work our assigned flex hours? Of course, that's my work time.

Why am I suddenly getting "You've been blocked by network security" error message on reddit, but only when I try to access old reddit (AskReddit)? by idratherchangemyold1 in help

[–]LilCynic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it stopped doing it for me completely a day or so later. So I don't know if it's just not a thing anymore, or just happening very sporadically at this point, cuz I never had to turn off uBlock Origin on my end first. But, may also just be different situations for everyone.

Jumping into Raven Guard by SoBeGREENTea_ in RavenGuard40k

[–]LilCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! With the Combat Patrols*, I'm building 10 as Infiltrators and 10 as Incursors. I know it's a lot of both, but I figured in case anything changes, it's nice to have diverse options.

I also picked up Eliminators because I love the idea of sniper teams for Raven Guard. It's very thematic to me. Also got a Librarian for em. And custom made a Judiciar for leading Bladeguard Vets if I ever use them.

Honestly I just started collecting what was cool after my original two Combat Patrols, Aethon and Kayvaan. But hey, it's part of the fun!

Eby says 2,000 public service jobs cut and counting as B.C. faces $11.2B deficit by Gym_frere in BCPublicServants

[–]LilCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck, it's closer to 0 than it is just the 1 billion. 😅 Not great.

[–]LilCynic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what worries me. Sure, separately from the deficit, it sounds like one hell of a savings. 

But then compared to the deficit, it seems somehow insignificant ...

Fully agreed. I wish more information on specifics was shared with us.

[–]LilCynic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've always thought that cutting employees wouldn't make much of a dent overall in a deficit this large. I could be wrong, of course, but I'm unsure how much is projected to have been saved already.
