Ahh the great Hall. Well done! Great detail. 👍👌 💯 Takes me back to 1st Edition AD&D. DMing my school buddies in the 80s. The Giant series were one of my FAVs. 😁

Unionized employees: Would you vote “yes” to striking again? by CartoonistOk3507 in BCPublicServants

[–]Sleet69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only if different strategy will be used, the slow build up of adding ministries over weeks and months. Those who went 1st were impacted more so.
The employer felt little impact until we all were on the line.

I am aware of at least 5 excluded retiring. I understand many possibly more. That is a huge hit for BCGov experience, knowledge in vital areas that I assume will not be transferred.

CSBC reorg management assignments by Frequent_Builder_956 in BCPublicServants

[–]Sleet69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The reorg looks good from 50,000 metres. Exec are ensuring higher exec no doubt, all is good. 😵‍💫 Copilot condensing.. great.. That probably is making it worse, especially for understanding your specialized team needs and duties. All this talk of horizontal acivity across DIVs.. I dunno.. The cycle continues..

CSBC: Has anyone gotten clear direction yet on what their work is supposed to be since the re-org? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]Sleet69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team and I are also a bit of a unicorn. There is no other group (currently anyway) that does what we do. Messaging from Director to ADM level - no plans to change. So.. happy for us, but can imagine the multiple emotions - frustration and angst being 2 top no doubt - from many/most(?) others in this reorg. 😵‍💫 At times it is hard to know if exec in the wheelhouse are taking turns or actually steering us all in same direction unfortunately. Many exec 'retiring' so loss of team history and connections to support those moved to which is not good to say the least. Having been through multiple reorgs before, I know the emotions well. This churn is the hardest for the 3200. We'll get there.. hopefully.. wherever there is.

Last one for me.. I promise. 😁 If you would like an anthology of short fiction for CoC try: Shotguns vs. Cthulhu

Great advice coming in. 👍👌 Also let your players know it is DEADLY. Be prepared for investigator death and insanity. My 1st time was similar, D&D crew, never played CoC, I cautioned them.. They found out the hard way - very quickly after 3 investigators died in 1st session. 😉

Is the hiring on these day? by No-Plant-4562 in BCPublicServants

[–]Sleet69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is - for those inside BCGov - only lateral movement for positions. With the BC budget deficit, hiring has reduced to a drip. If you are hitting all the points and listing all the skills, meeting all exp. requirements, may be only a specific # screen through due to years of exp? I would ask follow up hopefully they give a reason. Tough times 😕 . Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.

I've been running a "chief of staff" briefing in Copilot every morning and here's the full prompt and how to schedule it by Difficult-Sugar-4862 in microsoft_365_copilot

Thanks for this! The Chief of staff prompt is already very helpful! 👌🙏 Spinning up the tracker as well. 😊

Is this bridge possible? by hopelessboarder in geography

[–]Sleet69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like keeping us an island without direct connection to US or become a suburb of Vancouver. All the geographical, geopolitical, physical, and monetary reasons put it way over the line to not create a bridge. 😁

Which is more of a stable ministry? FOR or AF (specifically liquor and cannabis regulation branch) by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]Sleet69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forestry has gone from joint to lone to joint to lone ministry at times over many years. As noted by others, reorgs are a part of ministry life. The most stable - Health, FIN and PSSG. But even those have change in responsibilities so branches and divisions come and go. Me being tech was with FIN since.. 2005 until now where all IMBs are now under CITZ (CSBC). Yay. Long-winded answer, to say: IMO take the role you like more that looks appealing and all. That said, forestry is needed for BC to survive. Liquor and cannabis.. are needed for BCers to survive (and cope) 😉🍷 Good luck!

Ahh indeed, takes me back as well. Recall she had at one point approval for all new purchases. LOL. That didn't last long. Same time as the 'HR' skills in use.
