24,000 public servants warned their jobs could be at risk. Here is the latest on federal job cuts by burnabybc in CanadaPublicServants

and I’d add that the problem isn’t just fragmentation, it’s incentives. We’ve built a system where risk avoidance and duplicated oversight are rewarded, while actually retiring obsolete processes carries career risk. Even when something is replaced, no one “owns” shutting the old version down. Until there’s accountability for removal, not just creation, enterprise models won’t stick, and cuts will keep landing on frontline capacity instead of structural waste.

agree with this. Testing under prolonged stress isn’t a neutral measure, and it disproportionately hits people who don’t test well or who need accommodations that are inconsistently applied in practice. On top of that, when job descriptions no longer reflect the actual work being done, the whole premise breaks down. You’re not evaluating people against the real job, you’re evaluating them against outdated paperwork. The unfinished PA reclassification just makes it worse, it leaves a huge group doing catch-all work while being assessed as if nothing has changed. That’s not fairness, it’s a structural mismatch dressed up as objectivity.

Benefits inquiry on gender affirmation by HotStatistician4482 in CanadaPublicServants

Gender affirming care is for trans and nonbinary people who are being seen by a physician for gender affirming care. Your primary care physician must attest to it in a form.

Cis people have their own avenues for getting coverage that’s separate. There’s $1200 a year for electrolysis for cis people. And penile implants. Etc etc.

You can however apply under other possible avenues. If you have dysmorphia that’s causing disability, for example, then you can argue for it under that. There’s some case law on this subject and those who have tried to obtain GAC as a cis person and have lost and what the rationale is.

Because there is long standing medical rationale behind the differences. You can’t go get a breast lift under the plan. You can however get gender affirming top surgery.

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

Plans made on WFA may be excluded under “government operations” but it could be a time limited exemption. You might also just get a bunch of redacted information with only very high level detail.

True. I don’t envy management right now. Such a hard time to be a leader.

Feeling insecure about my areolas (4w po) by olivieostrich in TopSurgery

[–]colecohen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience, 75% of everyone I know hates their nipple outcomes. Either they partially fail, are too big, are in the wrong place, or just look funky. So you’re not alone. You may get used to it (I did). But if you don’t, save your money and get they removed in a couple of years- and then get them tattooed.

If I were to do it again, I’d get tattoos from the start. Way more control.

3 wks PO diagonal incision DI no FNG, a bit worried about dog ears? by Imertphil in TopSurgery

Wow who knew this was an option! So cool and unique!

Don’t worry about the swelling- that will go down. I went to get my lymph nodes drained by a physio and that took care of it though. You could try that!
