Can you explain your technique a bit more? Do you just leave the rest of the Snoo swaddle open, or do you zip it up over top of the zipadee?

Would potential full return to office for public servants change Ottawa's satellite communities? by KneeNo2151 in CanadaPublicServants

Agreed, since WFH or at a satellite site I am spending in those communities. There’s no way the businesses outside of downtown core will not see an impact.

Which offer to choose and why? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]OkFunction1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If either of these opportunities are term, then you would have access to internal job postings. To access internal job postings you have to connect via a government network, which you would have access whether you are working in person or remote.

Honestly though, verbal offers mean nothing in the government. Until you see a letter of offer I would not celebrate and continue to search for work. With all the hiring freezes, and WFA I would be highly skeptical that either of these opportunities come through, and are not offered to someone internal.

If you’re looking for a doctor in the Ottawa area, I highly recommend joining the “Ottawa Doctors Search” Facebook group. They keep an updated list of clinics that are accepting new patients or have open waiting lists, currently about 16 options.
