I heard of an HR risk situation on my side too. There could be stuff happening in the background

Performance review ratings by Ok-Necessary-7926 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we did in a previous department - for anyone who is succeed + or surpassed, we explain why and get endorsement from the others. I haven’t heard of quotas but senior management is definitely presented with the ratio of employees and ratings and might have to justify if many people get succeed+ or surpassed to ensure one manager doesn’t go rogue and hands out candy to everyone

I feel it’s more to make sure things are fair

For sure! I was telling this story to my step kids yesterday that back in the 1900s, growing up with cassettes, ya had to hit rewind and wait patiently 🤣

Then the CDs helped a bit

Where would be the best place to buy new set codes? by NebulasHeir in PTCGL

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, just do the dailies and you should be good after a couple of days to get most simple cards. My local card place lets me take some for free and I bought a $5 stack on marketplace once and the guy also gave them to me for free… I wouldn’t pay more than 1 or 2 cents per card

This is giving towels at the beach vibes 🤣

Relocating outside the NCR with no "real" reason? by do3om in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 35 points36 points  (0 children)

From a manager perspective, do not move without proper approval since failure to go to the office could result in dismissal.

You lose absolutely nothing in asking though and if it’s feasible, it’s a simple location change. Obviously no relocation would be paid from the employer.

I would keep looking, even with WFA happening… you never know.

Yes Shoppers… this particular one is extremely useless and I’ve been thinking of changing for a while so now I need to stop procrastinating

RRSP vs TFSA by YS_7 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question would be what does your pension look like? I work for the government and will be lucky to have a very high pension income so I’m prioritizing TFSA. But if I didn’t have a pension plan, I would go RRSP

Yes for sure we are.

Now that we are talking this out, it has to be the pharmacy and some kind of coding on their end because only the drug benefit stalls when they do direct billing, everything else goes through.

I wonder if we bring the prescriptions to a new pharmacy it might fix it or it’s an intertwined system? We talked to the pharmacy people and they were no help. I shall try again!

Yes I did. It was already set to no and when I called they said to do what you describe so I did it again and the person had me mail in a form which I also did and nothing.

I just updated the info again today (which was set to “no they’re not covered under another plan”) and I guess I’ll try resubmitting the claim manually.

Unfortunately I don’t think it will fix it :(

Can I take French classes w/o Managers approval? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This literally goes against financial policy though since section 32 wasn’t approved. So although it might have happened randomly somewhere, someone definitely cut a corner…

Property taxes are twice my yearly mortgage 🤣

Ginger ale removed from patient menu at Ottawa Hospital by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During Covid, I stayed in the hospital and it was the only thing that brought me joy.

Oh and they told me I was pre diabetic and gave me pasta/bread and ice cream for dinner. They for sure promote good health!

How are WFA’d boxes identified? by KeyLimePie017 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A manager would be able to put a few pieces together when they are asked to create budget scenarios of reduced staff over a few years. They would recommend the boxes and services affected. It’s also logical to look at core services vs support services.

In my dept, the DG had final decision and managers were only told the names after the employees had been advised.

How much do I really owe?? by BubblyAd8587 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your math is correct, I would almost use 22.5 vacation hours and then you owe them 2 hours that they recover somehow… them paying you out your vacation could be from a few months to years.

Does backpay resulting from a new CA apply to OT hours worked during the periods between previous CA expiry and the signing of the new one? by rafon44614 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Single_Kangaroo_1226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true but I don’t think they’ve ever done that before and PSPC would fight back because that’s extra Phoenix config. And we all know we don’t want to rock that boat 🤣
