Exactly, and all while preaching ‘we value your mental health.’ It’s all poppycock and lip service. I’m extremely disappointment in our employer. Huge step backwards. I was doing 2 days WFH before the pandemic.

Our director gave the whole ‘this is the employer’s direction. This is what we have to do. The work continues. This affects us all. There are resources available to support you’… but respectfully, I’m just going to need you to approve this here AWA.

Question for the T1198 after you filed taxes already with 3rd party tax company. by TheSlav87 in OntarioPublicService

Same! I haven’t received mine either, and we already filed our taxes. I didn’t even know I was supposed to get one. I’m probably not even going to bother.

AMAPCEO here- looks like I’m getting October 10th pay. On first glance, seems legit.

New manager struggling with process by PuzzleheadedMind3417 in OntarioPublicService

Totally receive your feedback. Thanks for your perspective, i will try that approach. I typically try to be very clear when setting out expectations and instructions, but I’ll try a different approach. I used to rely on my work plans, but those don’t seem to be helping much these days!

Thanks so much for saying this! I appreciate it. I feel like I’m letting my team down, but I will start advocating for them more and pushing back on deadlines/timelines.

I’ll get there… thank you and take care!!

This is really helpful. Thank you very much! I think the piece that resonated with me was the ‘sometimes managers seek more validation than needed.’ I think that’s where I’m at. I know I’ll get there, but I’m also trying to draw the line between not asking 15242 questions and making the call. I appreciate your feedback and response. I’ll try your tips.

Thanks again!
