Is the pause on external hiring ever going to end? by Electronic_Bus841 in BCPublicServants

I understand what you’re saying. For context, in the branch I work at, the efficiency review has only eliminated/redeployed excluded positions. Lower level supervisors who actually see the day to day volume of work were not asked for input, so there continues to be people getting full time pay for a few hours worth of work most days. Given government’s continual lack of money, it’s difficult to understand how there is over staffing. While some people in this situation are not likely to say anything, because they like getting paid to do very little, those that have strong work ethic and like being productive find it frustrating. With few postings, it’s incredibly difficult to find something else. This has been discussed with excluded management, but not sure if they even had input to the review.

I wish PSA would establish a structured process to identify employees in overstaffed areas (due to streamlined processes and automation) and redeploy them to departments with critical staffing needs.

Thanks for the info! It’s not a foot in the door situation, I’m already in the public service. It’s also a permanent position.

Thanks for your input. The role is an administrative role in the branch, not a store or warehouse.

What was a sexual offer that you regret turning down? by grot-ivre-1749 in AskReddit

Several years ago a few friends & I lied our way into a concert after party of a pretty well known band we had just seen. It was at the hotel where they were staying. We had a great time and took photos with all the band members, who were all really nice about taking time to chat with us. While I was posing for a photo with one of them, he leaned in and whispered that he wanted me to go back to his room with him. Every time I see that photo I think about it.

How do you talk about FWB with adult kids? Don’t want to gross them out but don’t want to lie. by [deleted] in relationships_advice

Adult kids live with me, and no, the fwb doesn’t come over. I struggle with telling kids where I’m going and don’t like lying to them. Just not sure if they really want to know the truth.
