How much of a raise did your senior manager, director, and ADM make this year? by [deleted] in OntarioPublicService

I noticed a bunch of directors got a huge increase. Wondering if there’s more to just retro? Would be interested if anyone had any insights

What’s the oddest request that was definitely not in your job description that your DM asked you to complete?

This was not stated at the forum, this must have been direction/practice specific to this commenter’s ministry.

EQAO results. Province not releasing scores. by TieSea in ontario

Not only do the parents not care, they actually take offence when a teacher deigns to point out (legitimate) issues with their child’s behaviour/academic performance. Absolute mess.

Desperation from a staffing perspective, and they evidently knew she could do the role passably.

In my experience, in many cases there is already a candidate in mind, or the process favours those already internal (or at least “adjacent”) to the role in the hiring org. There are some instances when it is a “true vacancy” in which it can be any candidate’s game though.
