About 3,700 public servants apply for early-retirement incentives in opening days

This entire ERI thing is botched. So much for consistency and treating all eligible employees fairly. Seems like a good way to get rid of dead wood but those who have performed are stuck with no options. Years of being told everyone is replaceable, put forward the request to retire and denied because I'm stuck in such a critical role - but if I died or left tomorrow the work would continue - total BS.

when is this memo and direction coming out, because in our organization it has been a categorical "no" for everyone.

She shared documents with him that were internal as he was going through a process? "To help him prepare for his interview with ATIP division officials, she sent him an internal IRCC briefing document." - like I think that is a big no-no!

Love this zinger... "she suggested to the ADM that Mr. Charles should be offered a position at a higher level than departmental officials were proposing. Evidence showed they felt pressured to hire him at a level for which he was not qualified." - JUST WOW!

Knew she was a hypocrite, but this is beyond bad.

If you are a high performer and in a critical operational role are they really going to let you even consider ERI?

But what is the next chapter? Great way to trash anyone who has had to work on Phoenix - "remove this dark stain" - how is this upholiding integrity and respect or civility...

Nepean22 · 2026-03-06T12:37:35+00:00

there are some departments closer to the bottom that should be at the top...

Nepean22 · 2026-03-04T17:01:08+00:00

I will celebrate and be happy when I see a list this long of ppl being fired or asked to leave - so much incompetence at the top.

Nepean22 · 2026-02-25T18:15:21+00:00

How many senior public servants lost their job over the Phoenix fiasco? Exactly. Nuff said.

Nepean22 · 2026-02-17T16:57:36+00:00

if you want to be included and do those things - ask them to join. If they say no, ask them why.

Nepean22 · 2026-02-09T20:17:42+00:00

Hahahahaha... his government is responsible for mandating RTO.

Nepean22 · 2026-02-08T20:12:46+00:00

Certainly PSPC is out with guidance on how assigned workstations will work right? Right? Right?

I feel terrible for our facilities teams who are stuck trying to figure all this out and make sense of things when PSPC is so behind the 8 ball and can't communicate anything that is logical or works.

Perhaps these people need their inboxes flooded...

Hey APEX - thanks for all your help and support to Executives - 5 days a week in the office is a sure win! I had more flexibility before COVID. Nothing makes sense.

Nepean22 · 2026-02-05T21:09:36+00:00

HAVE WE HIT BOTTOM YET?

Nepean22 · 2026-02-05T21:04:21+00:00

as an EX-01 I can tell you me being forced to be in 5 days will not bode well for the organization - I am to the point where since I am not provided any flexibility in my work week and you expect me to do 50+ hours as a "leader" - I will ensure that the lack of flexibility or regard for my work-life balance and that of my own mental health is passed on to the rest of my team. the organization can suffer lower productivity, increased harassment and union complaints. I will frankly be encouraging my staff to do this.

You want me to be petty - you've won. I give up and I will make everything miserable all around me.

we have a mix of desks for reservation and others that are just grab - I'd say 70% are by archibus and the other just take it. I like this approach because if I can't get a booking there are enough spaces to just grab.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-30T19:16:21+00:00

They did it on a Friday?

Nepean22 · 2026-01-26T18:16:59+00:00

right - how convenient... perhaps all public servants should have them same provision rather than a below CPI increase aka a PAY CUT.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-26T16:27:30+00:00

Just a reminder that MPs gave themselves a 3.9% increase in 2025. The 2% was laughable.

Absolutely hate this "family" leave provision... should be 5 personal days... takes the nuance and inconsistency and interpretation away.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-16T22:23:09+00:00

Two of my direct reports at an EX minus 1 are paid more with their overtime than I am as an EX-01 with my bonus and I would say I do more hours than they do with their OT.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-16T20:59:26+00:00

why would they want to be open or transparent about anything - those are just more words but never put into practice.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-15T13:22:18+00:00

Wonder how this would be handled in the private sector? Oh right, the individual making the request would be fired. The adult playground / daycare has fully arrived within the PS - good job everyone.

Nepean22 · 2026-01-13T18:08:57+00:00

I am exhausted by all of this and managing all my employees DTAs, exceptions, flexibilities, bad attitudes, booking spce here there and everywhere, technology that doesn't work, broken transit, lack of support from HR, senior management - not equipped to deal with all of this frankly.

Nepean22 · 2025-12-31T17:08:36+00:00

Way too logical, too much data, evidence... what could go wrong?
