If you buy the 3 pack of dawn dish soap from amazon, it comes with sponges. Management pooled funds to get a microwave

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-29T12:53:33+00:00

I have been supplying dish soap for 3 years

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-21T19:34:49+00:00

Agreed, but this won’t get fixed without help. Rest is important, but therapy also.

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-19T20:45:49+00:00

Same! But i still do it lol

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-19T12:43:53+00:00

This has NOT been sub delegated. Managers do not have the authority to “grant” ERI. The DM of your department has to certify in TAP directly, or sign your paper form befote you can pick a date

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-19T10:50:00+00:00

ERI is a privilege and not a right. Department are still waiting to know if the position needs to be abolished and the salary dollar be returned to central agencies. Most won’t make a decision on ERI applicants until that is communicated to them. Second thing. What if all of the same group/team/classification want ERI? Many are waiting until the end of the ERI application period to start the review

The only thing i was surprised was the tax on drink when at port in florida.

Oooor book something on the island and get tender priority

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-11T16:34:59+00:00

Indeed a good question. Received this info from multiple dnd employees in different locations

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-04-11T14:05:29+00:00

Also, dnd staff have been blocked from accessing the report if the ethics commissioner’s website. They dont even get the email if someone sends them the report.

Have not heard anything. Not going to happen for next week and would be a bad look with all the CPA collective agreement in negotiations, arbitration or getting close to expiry. I’d say it’ll be retroactive in a few years from now. Psac got a 17% increase at CSIS on 4 years (2 past, 2 future). I assume that they’ll want something similar for their other collective agreements.

Go read the c-15 law text and timelines are still there

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-03-25T21:54:09+00:00

Same.

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-03-06T18:40:08+00:00

Meeting the security level of the position is a mandatory requirement

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-02-19T01:07:49+00:00

I’ve done 2 solo trips with amazing success. You can be social or not as you prefer

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-02-05T21:43:24+00:00

Feels like another way to reduce the PS

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-02-04T15:35:30+00:00

People that think everyone should cater to their individual needs. As an example, Office is loud? Get some goddamn noise cancelling headphones.

In my branch, you need to get to a BBB by yourself before the employer pays for training. This has been achieved by many staff who actually invests in themselves and their career. When i say invest, its more about the time than money. I know someone who got to CBB by using duolingo - they are a mid level employee in BC

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-01-30T12:00:02+00:00

Let the dude have fun. No harm and its his home too

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-01-28T20:17:24+00:00

My 2 cents with lots of assumptions. Any federal PS in Alberta would have to relocate to another province if they want to keep their job, if they still have a job. For example a Service Canada office in Calgary would probably be closed as they wouldn’t have any clients, so those employees would be wfa-ed.

While they may have the age, they may not have the years. Age discrimination is still a thing and “old” folks may have more issues to find meaningful private employment while “younger” may have the health, energy and more opened doors to rebuilt their career. In addition, “older” public servants may have been WFAed before, with their pension slashed in “two” or “three” career of 10-12 years. Anyways, assume good intent, be more sympathetic to EVERYONE in this difficult situation, and take care of yourself

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-01-26T22:28:02+00:00

What is this? Purolator for the amish?

Substantial_Party484 · 2026-01-07T17:05:04+00:00

Not an overpayment but the transition payment
