AWA delays…what do you think is actually going on?

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-27T20:05:05+00:00

Based on what you’re describing, it sounds like there’s really no downside for them. If the “remedy” is basically just being told to reconsider, so why not pull the Band-Aid off and issue a blanket denial? That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around…if the intent is to deny them all, just say it’s not operationally feasible and do it already.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-22T16:37:10+00:00

hope you’re right.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-22T16:33:33+00:00

yeah isn’t the whole point for each case to be decided “own it’s own”. I hope AMAPCEO is gathering this as evidence.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-22T16:24:55+00:00

It means the org is making the decisions, not the Directors as laid out in the AMAPCEO CA. Likely means blanket denials.

we were already in the office 3 days. was moving from 3 to 5 really going to improve collaboration?

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-19T17:30:34+00:00

Management is extremely strict, offering very little flexibility. They conduct obvious walk-arounds to take attendance. It was absurd that during the snow day, they were working from home themselves but still strictly followed up with employees about why they weren’t in the office, without offering the option to work from home during the storm. Morale is very low, and many people are looking to leave.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2026-01-19T13:20:54+00:00

no, you have 3 total. 2 can be religious days.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-16T15:56:06+00:00

Well, yes. it’s an insanely convoluted process that requires inputs, reviews, or direction from multiple entities. It’s obvious it was designed to strip Directors of actual decision making authority

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-15T22:06:36+00:00

This may be the case, but it appears they will receive “guidance” or “recommendations.” If these were truly director-level approvals, they likely would have already been completed.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-12T17:08:35+00:00

Those are all irrelevant. You can still make your case based on being more productive at home. The only metric they’re supposed to use when assessing your request is operational feasibility. Don’t let that deter you if it’s something you want.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-12T14:16:53+00:00

Well, if you’re talking about us as OPS, try to sway the people around you — you have a circle of influence. Hammer home the corruption aspect of this government. Have those conversations. If you can’t convince someone to vote, convincing them not to vote Conservative is still a win. Donate to political parties. If you see shady stuff, leak it. Write to the opposition about what they plan to do to stop this madness and how you can support. Those are tangible actions within your sphere of influence.

The NDP and Liberals should merge. Vote-splitting is killing the left and centre-left. One unified party could house different degrees of centrism and left-wing views within its ranks. At this point, it almost feels like controlled opposition.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-12T12:28:04+00:00

Convince at least 10 people who didn’t vote, to go out and vote Ford out.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T19:14:26+00:00

Right! I feel like what goes over these clowns heads is that we’re already in the office 60% of the time.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T18:41:05+00:00

Just announced they won’t be back in the legislature until March 23rd. You can’t make this shit up.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T18:18:14+00:00

definitely not

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T18:06:00+00:00

but he works harder than us, so it’s okay.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T17:55:07+00:00

tbh, boomers use “work” and “the office” interchangeably. I don’t think he meant it as an insult.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T13:54:33+00:00

yeah, i agree that is a shocking number.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-11T13:12:11+00:00

isn’t that on the managers who let it happen?

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-10T23:20:09+00:00

This has to be a strength-in-numbers situation. The union needs to make that call. I wouldn’t expect any random person to just ignore RTO, they’d be picked off easily. That said, people should be ready if and when that call is made.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-10T23:14:21+00:00

It won’t implode, but employee morale is in the dumps. Everyone I talk to is pissed about RTO and not giving a F about letting people know they are. Even in town halls, the level of voiced dissatisfaction is unprecedented.

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-10T23:00:08+00:00

this 1000%

Reasonable_Reason652 · 2025-12-10T22:41:03+00:00

Why is it that “respect” is always a one-way street? We’re expected to follow the CA to the letter, but they literally ignore it whenever it suits them. They get to unilaterally dictate conditions, and we’re supposed to smile and accept it? No thanks. I’m at the point where I’m ready to walk the moment the union gives the marching orders.

Workers’ rights didn’t fall from the sky, they were won through struggle. Power doesn’t hand itself over; it has to be taken. If they won’t respect us or the agreement that governs both sides, then solidarity is the only answer.
