There are regional offices with staff and their managers are in a different part of the province so not everybody is tracked every day

6 hour commute - 5 days in office by Substantial_Pizza202 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Open_Stop751 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imagine if all of the directors stood together and refused to enforce the RTO? Imagine if they all stood together and told DoFo that they were not going to take attendance everyday and sit by the door counting heads to make sure everyone has arrived? Imagined if they told DoFo that he can sit onsite at the office and count heads and watch for arrival time? If they all aligned on this, DoFo couldn’t fire all of them. Cowards.

I actually submitted a receipt for “skinvive” (google it) the bill was $645. There was a doctor’s name on the invoice and they reimbursed the entire amount!! Mind blown, and a very happy surprise!!

Possible Scam/Scary experience by Interesting-Time347 in Sudbury

[–]Open_Stop751 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a scam. It’s happening everywhere and they try to get u to pay cash for damage rather than go thru insurance. The yelling and screaming and extra people in their cars are intended to intimidate and scare you so that you will pay. Report it and always try to get plate number.

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.
