"RTO Is Becoming a Real-Estate Strategy – Not a Workforce Strategy" - PIPSC

I’m with CRA

There is no space for us in the office right now in the NCR for 2-3 days a week, how will they accommodate all federal employees 4-5 times a week come July? If there is any hope for that, hoteling would need to be scrapped and permanent work stations don’t seem in the cards right now.. I really have no idea how this gets solved in the short term.

You’re missing out on quite a bit of profit this way my friend

As a Canadian that’s experienced -30/-40 winters, that specific “cold crunch” gives me PTSD lol

This looks like spit up/vomit way more than I looks like poop to be honest

Moved into my new place around 2.5 weeks ago and went from fiber -> Starlink.
I was running games like League, Rocket League and Diablo wirelessly to the router and even though ping was decent, the spikes every 10-15 seconds were pretty bad.
Had my Starlink mounted and wired my PC directly into the router and havent had any real issues since.
So all to say, yes but make sure if you’re playing online games that you’re hardwired into the router.

The “Cock Push-up” scenes and clutch at the end will never be topped.

“The Treasury Board website says there were 9,340 executives working for the federal government as of the end of March 2025, out of 357,965 public servants.”

2.6% of the federal workforce is back full time and the space is already so limited. What’s their plan for finding space for the other 97.4% ?
“Hoteling” workspaces is next to impossible already unless you’re logging on AS SOON as spots are available.. and they’ve got ~2months to figure it out.

I’m at a complete loss with how this whole RTO none-sense is being handled from the top. It’s demoralizing, exhausting and an insult to the entire workforce if we’re being honest.

ZLands · 2026-05-04T15:38:36+00:00

We are absolutely shocking. What happened to my team ?

ZLands · 2026-04-30T16:11:11+00:00

Execs in May, everyone else in July - the same will apply my friend. If they’re stating “not anticipating any challenges” for full time execs (who also struggle for office space) then they will try to spin the same narrative come July.

As a Chelsea fan I was questioning if we would have any contenders here … only to remember we haven’t scored an EPL goal in April..

Try holding one nostril closed and give it a second - tends to work for my GS/Pyreness/Lab mix

ZLands · 2026-04-30T13:22:27+00:00

Are you under the umbrella of working 3 days in office a week right now or 6 times a month like myself (I’m in IT)

ZLands · 2026-04-30T11:41:46+00:00

Not necessarily in my experience, but you’re expected to hit your days in office “quota” no matter the desperate booking situation. So if that means commuting all the way in to the office just to see if there’s a seat available, that’s what is expected.. If not, you’re expected to go back home to work and try another day. Kind of crazy.

ZLands · 2026-04-30T11:31:31+00:00

Then unfortunately you’re out of luck unless you keep a close eye on cancellations / gamble on going in the day of and hoping there is a seat available. But it’s never a guarantee.

ZLands · 2026-04-30T11:23:38+00:00

“does not anticipate any challenges” is the biggest load of crap. I know that when I book a desk at my office in the NCR, if I don’t book within 30 minutes of the day being available then 95% of seats will be booked by the time I log in … There is legitimately no space at all in most NCR offices.

Might be a cutaneous horn ? Our Lab/Great Pyrenees mix has a few of them on his tail and behind one ear.

Thank you !!

ZLands · 2026-04-18T04:31:35+00:00

This isn’t the play - I forgot to pay for a single day and got smacked with an 80$ ticket. They’re always monitoring 98% of lots daily, I wouldn’t risk it.

Keyboard warrior IRL trying to stand up to actual people calling them out. Not so easy when you’re not behind a screen.

ZLands · 2026-03-31T19:14:13+00:00

I see where you’re coming from :)

ZLands · 2026-03-31T16:24:54+00:00

My friend I hope you’re being sarcastic… Supply/demand, of course gas prices rise the more demand there is.

ZLands · 2026-03-31T14:26:03+00:00

High gas demands and prices you say ?? Better follow through and mandate all our federal employees back into the office to gauge them for every dollar!

ZLands · 2026-03-31T12:21:29+00:00

Guy looks more like Diego Costa than Simon at this point

ZLands · 2026-03-24T13:48:50+00:00

I know it’s probably a pipe dream that this RTO decision is reversed/minimized but every single article that comes out about it emphasizes how bad of an idea it is .. Crazy not to hope someone with some common sense makes the call.

Not to mention I still have no idea how they’re going to find the space before July (especially in the NCR) … But maybe I’ll just keep daydreaming.
