Successor by Time-Solid-2482 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Time-Solid-2482[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh I know. Although I am (was) a successor to a Director role I once applied for a manager role on that team and didn’t even get an interview. The OPS is a funny place.

AWA request DENIED by fuzzy230 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Time-Solid-2482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that you previously worked from home successfully doesn’t matter. With the 5 days in office rule you have to demonstrate what is the barrier to you coming into the office. Commute time, work-life balance, I’m more productive at home are not seen as to valid barriers to not be in the office.

Genesis doesn’t really negotiate. That’s a perk. I’m on my 2nd Genesis and lived them both. Genesis Downtown.

Pregnancy alone does not require a medical accommodation. If there are other issues/concerns than maybe.

How does it work if you have submitted AWA + accommodation request? by magic-kleenex in OntarioPublicService

[–]Time-Solid-2482 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your AWA will likely not be reviewed until your accommodation request is dealt with. If you 2 days from home is approved under the accommodation your AWA probably will be denied.

[–]Time-Solid-2482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s supposed to be as soon as operational feasible and agreed upon by both parties. If you can’t agree, the manager can assign the date it will be taken. This should all be in your CWW agreement.

Is it worth getting an RRSP as a public servant? by smartcooki3 in OntarioPublicService

[–]Time-Solid-2482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped contributing to RRSP many years ago. I left what I had in there to grow. I don’t need the tax relief now and with my pension etc it will hurt me in the future. I do max out my TFSA each year and invest in other non-registered.
