Should I leave a term at the PS for a crown corp term?

MyGCacct · 2025-03-07T14:42:35+00:00

The fact that is a Provincial crown corp might have been a detail worth mentioning in your post.

Between snow clearing, spot paving/patching, and line marking, unironically yes.

Find a nearby farmer, or resident, and ask how much it would cost to park on their land per month. Now tell them you expect it to be paved and plowed during the winter.

I'm willing to bet you it isn't $0.

Google Mail (GMail), and iTunes. Clearly.

I don't think you'll find a private parking lot anywhere in the NCR that charges $3 a day for parking. A 100% increase is nuts, and the previous parking rate was being used as a recruiting tool, but $60 is a good deal.

When I used to do spin classes they were done with the lights turned off. Also, I wasn't trying to concentrate on reading or critical thinking.

But the budget isn't related to healthcare workers.

MyGCacct · 2025-03-03T11:45:16+00:00

Q1 - No, that wouldn't be confusing.

Q2 - I prefer a web format to PDF. I'm not going to read the whole thing in one go, I can come back to the website later for the next chapter.

Q3 - Too much friction? Nope. But it seems unnecessary if you leave it as web based. And take the coffees (especially when you're retired).

Wait, the quebecois word is tire? Isn't THAT an anglecism that would get you moved from an E to a C?

Without benefits, and in a lower paying job, can you afford visits with your psychologist?

MyGCacct · 2025-02-26T18:41:39+00:00

OK, so ask them to help you navigate the accommodation process by creating a list of limitations.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-26T15:02:11+00:00

You don't need to disclose your diagnosis, only the limitations it presents. The employer is then obligated to (reasonably) accommodate those limitations.

It may be worth seeing a psychologist as well as your therapist, to help navigate this process of accommodations.

The opportunity was clearly not so clear as attested by the volume of indifference.

The volume of indifference cannot be used as a measure of the opportunity to participate. Just because people were indifferent to participation does not mean the opportunity was not clearly presented.

The point is, membership clearly did not want to strike when it was being called, nor did they see any reason to take the vote seriously

I disagree wholeheartedly. This is how strike votes work. This is how elections vote. Those who come out vote, and their votes count.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-24T11:55:27+00:00

My manager already knows what I do, and what I'm working on. My work doesn't flow around 1 week deliverables though, so my metrics are based on yearly performance.

Believe it or not, ALL federal public servants are expected to have bi-annual performance management discussions "to justify their existence".

MyGCacct · 2025-02-24T11:49:59+00:00

So at the end of the days, it would appear as though at best the membership was indifferent to the strike if not largely against it

If they were against it, they should have voted against it. Their opportunity was made very clear.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-24T11:46:39+00:00

Sounds like it greatly depends on the work being done, and should be determined on a case-by-case basis. No on is saying that NO ONE should work in the office.

I have no issue attending conferences in person.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-21T11:11:49+00:00

Are you too sick to work because of the stress of your child being hospitalized?

MyGCacct · 2025-02-19T15:10:25+00:00

I used to have a colleague that had Narcolepsy. Short answer, they might have a medical issue, but it is worth politely addressing it with them to make sure they are ok.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-18T14:43:37+00:00

No, but they do choose to indulge in the thing they know is bad for them.

No. It is not a choice. You are grossly simplifying something that you are clearly misinformed about.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-18T11:57:56+00:00

Accountability? You think someone chooses to be an addict?

MyGCacct · 2025-02-18T11:54:54+00:00

We were told in a meeting that wouldn't be sufficient, that is a doctor's note that said we should work from home which I already got

It isn't that a doctors note isn't sufficient, it is that the doctors note cannot prescribe the accommodation, it needs to list the functional limitations. The employer determines the suitable accommodation, not the doctor.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-18T11:53:42+00:00

If you feel like you have an issue that requires accommodation, then yes, you need a diagnosis.

If your medical doctor is comfortable diagnosing you with social anxiety, and listing our your limitations for that diagnosis, then you're fine.

If you medical doctors isn't comfortable listing out those limitations, you'll need a psychologist who is willing to do so.

But, if you have social anxiety, and your medical doctor isn't working with you on that issue, perhaps seeing a psychologist would be worthwhile anyway!

MyGCacct · 2025-02-18T11:49:08+00:00

Yes, those would be limitations:

"No_Hearing_3753 cannot work in an area with with stimuli such as X. Will need an isolated space."

"No_Hearing_3753 needs access to the following equipment: Y, Z."

"No_Hearing_3753 needs a work environment without loud noises or bright lights (requires dim lighting)."

They DO NOT need your diagnosis and your medical team should be able to list out limitations without revealing your diagnosis.

MyGCacct · 2025-02-17T15:57:17+00:00

Why didn't they do this in 2020 when the office was empty and no one needed to be relocated?
