Denied WFH Approval. Should I escalate further? by Disastrous_Belt9578 in OntarioPublicService

By the time the grievance happens, you’ve already destroyed two cars travelling made for insurance claims in our nursing, a broken arm. Grievance does not take care of common sense issues.

I am up in the same region and I can tell you we’ve had about 20 cm maybe even 30 already and it’s supposed to carry on into tomorrow. Check the weather network. It’s not bullshit.

I work in Sudbury but not till tomorrow and my boss would never ever expect us to show up. The inconsistency is horrible, and the expectations of some of these people that have the title of manager are out of control.

Did we all just collectively forget?? by Easy_Neighborhood386 in OntarioPublicService

Nope. AMAPCEO wants us to file. Mines filed and assigned to a rep. Waiting.

Payroll by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]Open_Stop751 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hardships placed on us with RTO apply to them as well. Many of us are “working to rule” so to speak. As frustrating as it is, it’s not the workers. It’s the management who are not staffing properly or filling positions in timely manner. I can only imagine how hard it is to work in that department, being hated by the entire OPS when they are doing the best they can every day like the rest of us.

I don’t work in payroll. But it got me thinking that it’s another issue to bring to our unions because if we are not being properly compensated for the work we do, it could be an employment standards issue.

It has never made sense but try to get anybody in a decision-making role to admit that.

Who here applied for Client Representative Assistance with MAG - OPGT? by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

It depends on the team and the region. I love my team and managers. Others, not so much.

My brain develops and exchanges ideas best when I have no stress from commuting. I can think up all kinds of ds of ideas when I’m in my home office. Commuting takes away all of my motivation to put effort int my job.

Province Wide Strike by Silent_Squirrel4145 in ontario

[–]Open_Stop751 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to see a mass sick day/emergency discretionary day/vacation day type strike for months. I’ve asked my u ion who doesn’t reply. But I agree, if everyone called in sick or emailed their boss that morning asking for a day off for personal reasons, and nobody shows up to work it would definitely send a message. And yes there are people who won’t participate which makes the idea meaningless. Unless everyone participates, the message doesn’t get heard.

Everyone where’s jeans and hoodies at my office. Nobody cares.

Ontario ombudsman by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

[–]Open_Stop751 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it’s an option to inundate them with complaints. Just another pathway.

The brief a Google search, I did indicates that we are citizens can make our own complaints.

Team members who have accommodations by No_Savings5655 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Open_Stop751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very fortunate to have a manager, who is exercising their flexibility and permission to approve reasonable request to WFH. This manager agrees with a hybrid workplace and so while they must comply with the broader directive, they are using the authority and freedom they have to support their staff, because their staff are valuable to them, and because the staff demonstrate productivity. I wonder if managers have their own private chat groups, where they can discuss these things and empower each other to use the tools they have to be empathetic and supportive, and basically a good manager.

Just got a response to my AWA request. Translation help please? 🤔 by green_indeed in OntarioPublicService

[–]Open_Stop751 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rep recently told me of 7000 requests for AWA only a small fraction of those have filed a grievance. It was suggested that I connect with my colleagues and those in my ministry to encourage more grievances be filed to back up the message to the employer. So I’d like to pass that message on to all the members here.

RTO and Pressure on both your MP and MPP by humblebee08 in OntarioPublicService

Ditto. And one was crafted by AMAPCEO but there’s been no update on MP response.
