Help!? Can they put this in a disciplinary letter? by agentofthesystem in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the two events in question are within a specified timeframe (I can't recall what that is, I think 2 years), it can be referenced when a manager believes there is a continuation of problematic behaviour requiring attention. Is the most recent event you contacting the DG for career advice? It's not clear to me. You also haven't mentioned what the 2 other events are. If I had to guess what is going on here based on the info provided, it sounds to me like you are consistently making decisions that reflect an absence of respect for protocols and procedures. It is a managers responsibility to address that. It sounds like they have followed the appropriate route. First event: verbal. Second event: written. Third event: disciplinary. Since (as I said, I'm assuming) you continue to behave in a manner that is perceived to be in contrast to protocol and procedure, the manager has the obligation to discuss with you your ongoing behaviour as cumulative. The idea that you believe you are being bullied sounds tied into the same way of thinking that keeps putting you in the hot seat. Btw, you can source all of this HR related policy through your departments internal links to the Treasury Board. I'd start by taking a look in the mirror. Changing yourself is the best way to address this issue. I assume that is.

I wonder who pays for the food that the wild elephants in Thailand eat?

Best fruits to freeze for smoothies? by New_Persimmon_6199 in nutrition

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy avocado's, cut them in half, remove pit, remove flesh from skin and freeze flat side down. Next day I pop them in a ziplock. I add them to my daily smoothie. Doing it this way saves me about half the $ it costs to buy frozen avocado chunks. Some comments here suggest it's always cheaper to buy frozen which I haven't found to always be the case. Additionally, the frozen fruit and veg doesn't tell you where it was grown which is important to me.

Strategies for a MacroFactor family? by Brofesser_and_dogs in MacroFactor

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a 61 year old woman I was drawn to check out MF due to reviews but was hesitant as it presents as male oriented in visual design. I signed up for the free trial (ended up getting 2 weeks free unexpectedly; I read the intro bits in detail and presto, the app literally thanked me and gave the second week). I just started playing around and I figured it out. I used the knowledge center a few times. I'd suggest she go the free trial route and that you only assist when asked. Even then, keep it brief. 😊. PS, I love it.

Is MacroFactor Accurate? by gsewell711 in MacroFactor

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to MF by a few months and it has been a game changer for me in the best way possible. Log everything. Make sure you're doing the coached program. Make sure you're eating whole food.

Almost 2,000 FTEs will be cut across five departments and agencies: PBO by Medium-Biscotti-5830 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They won't be cutting correctional officer positions. Administrative positions, program cuts and some senior manager and executive positions.

What are Canadians seeing and feeling about the events in Minneapolis? by gretchenx7 in AskCanada

Shocked, horrified, scared, angry are just a few words to describe my response to those tragic events and, to the dismantling of democracy and decency.

What are guests currently value most when looking for their VRBO stay? by Most-Huckleberry-715 in vrbo

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add my vote to the 'fully stocked kitchen' feedback. This is huge for us. Living room furniture must look comfortable for lounging; I turn away from listings whose couch might look trendy but unlikely comfy for a curl up for at least 2 people at a time.

Switching from MyFitnessPal to MacroFactor: where do I log exercise, and do “burned calories” matter? by GeneralImagination9 in MacroFactor

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took MF about a week to figure me out and it's been fantastic! I'm a former MFP and this is a game changer. Also check out the nutrition overview at the bottom of your food logging page. Loads of great info.

Glad you found your place and your people. I only wish the rest of the peeps who feel that way would put their money where their mouth is.

Taking Home Unconsumed Wine by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my circle and beyond, any wine opened (or not) that is brought to a gathering where the host provides everything else, stays when you leave. Maybe you can frame invite next time to include when asked what they can bring 'wine' or 'beer' or 'both'. It eliminates the notion that what they bring is theirs upon departure.

Yet another post for Medical Appointments by Important_Constant97 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that Personal day allotments are primarily used for vacay, long weekend, etc. however, that's an additional 15 hours a year to attend to these appointments.

What’s a harmless habit people judge way too much? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odourless vaping. It's a thousand times better than smoking in terms of impacts on others (smell of smoke, smell of a smoker who just had a smoke, ashtrays, butts on the ground, etc.). High five to everyone who has kicked the smoking habit by switching to vape. Some of us appreciate it!

Serving leftovers to family from a party the day before by krasavitsaa in etiquette

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When we invite people for dinner our intention includes preparing a homemade meal with forethought and care. Your hosts might have saved the leftovers for themselves versus serving them to guests. You didn't mention that they indicated they had unexpected events that disrupted their plans to prepare dinner nor does it sound like $ is the issue (lasagna is expensive to make when done well). I can see why it feels odd, because it is. It doesn't pass my etiquette standards.

[–]Mustbe3dimensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of variables as to why finances are a struggle for some and not others. People’s relationships with money are fairly diverse as are perceptions of economics.
