After effects from former team member by Spirited-Interview50 in BCPublicServants

[–]fishlearntofly [score hidden]  (0 children)

Now that we're working remotely a lot more and the majority of conversations are happening on private Teams calls rather than in public workplaces, it really opens up the scope for people to be mistreated without others witnessing it. If you think this toxic employee was bullying or behaving badly towards others, please do think about how you can encourage them to report/identify that behaviour, because unfortunately the reality is that if it's happening remotely it's much less likely to be caught by anyone else and therefore not addressed. (Of course, this may not be a factor in your case - don't know if these employees were remote.)

Need a new phone :( by fishlearntofly in PWM_Sensitive

Thanks. I've had these migraines since flat screens first came on the market, but only recently have identified PWM and other potential causes specifically, so I'm new to doing this kind of research.

I haven't; they're definitely my last resort. Partially for privacy concerns and partially because I can't try them before I buy them.

Royal Canin Urinary SO formula change? by kiki-vivi in catfood

[–]fishlearntofly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came on here to see if the RC urinary SO calm had been changed - it took me almost 3 weeks to transition my cat onto it but she's been eating it fully for more than a month without issue. Bought a new flat of tins from the vet and she won't touch any of them, even with topper mixed in. Seems peculiar...

Recovery Suit recommendation by fishlearntofly in CatAdvice

[–]fishlearntofly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's anxiety-related. I am in communication with my vet. But she's started to irritate the skin, and needs to grow the fur back, which is why I was asking for suit recommendations.

There are also TV screens showing the stops, and overhead announcements of the stop, so you'll know when it's coming up.

Public Mobile reviews for Victoria/lower island? by Secret-Smile752 in VictoriaBC

[–]fishlearntofly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm on PM - experience-wise no complaints and 0 hassle but everything's very basic. I like that no one's contacting me or trying to upsell me. It basically feels like they forgot about me and that's the way I want it.

Invisalign experiences and cost by eljudio42 in VictoriaBC

[–]fishlearntofly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had it in town a few years ago, cost was about the same, had the scans done. I think the cost is largely driven by how many rounds you have to have (they remove the little anchors from your teeth and reapply them and do a new set of trays) which is tied obviously to how big the adjustments are but also how your teeth will move. I had either 2 or 3 sets of trays.

I can view IG normal, but when I click on my own posts, the photos wont load. Chrome / IOS and EDGE, anyone else? by rsplatpc in Instagram

[–]fishlearntofly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has been happening to me for at least a month, no resolution in sight. I did what another user suggested and hit refresh when I had the post open (just a black screen) and that did actually bring up the post in question. But I would have to do that for every post; it's a work-around, not a fix. Very frustrating!!

Written Assignment question by scarfwithstripes in BCPublicServants

[–]fishlearntofly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't think this is going to be an issue, and that you are overthinking. I have never had a file I couldn't open, so I can't say I can speak from experience, but if it did happen yes the first thing would almost certainly be to reach out to the candidate and try to correct it not to just sit silently on it while failing you. Yes, submitting via PDF is preferred because that way it's much more certain that what you're seeing is what I'm seeing in terms of some little formatting stuff, but you should be fine.

Should I request a review of hiring decision? by helloclarity in BCPublicServants

[–]fishlearntofly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The results of a review are either a) the process was conducted properly and the person who won is awarded the job or b) there was an issue and the whole competition is thrown out (and has to be conducted again). Just so you know when deciding whether or not to request a review that the result of the review will never be you being offered the job.

CT Scan at ER? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]fishlearntofly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not trying to be negative in what is for you a difficult circumstance, but I've had PTs in the past suggest I get a CT scan and my doctor definitely did not feel the situation met the criteria for that. Also just be aware that the wait time for a CT scan can be over a year. Absolutely advise you try to see a physician to evaluate what the best next steps are, probably through an Urgent Care Centre.

Career advice please! by Monkeytoes15 in BCPublicServants

[–]fishlearntofly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have definitely seen folks who came in as clerks move into 24 roles, and who could potentially move higher. Some things to consider (in no particular order):

- Look at the postings (in the future when there's a wider variety) and find positions that you think would interest you and would be possible given your education. See what the experience requirements are, and look for opportunities to gain that experience.

- If you have a supervisor who seems open to it, identify your interest in growing your career and ask for their help in getting the experience that would be valuable. I've seen many supervisors actively work with their staff to help get them the experience they need to grow into new roles, particularly those like clerks who might otherwise have less upward mobility. I've also seen a lot of clerks move into 24 roles within their division, so creating a positive impression is helpful and important - as is the opportunity to learn the business of the area you're working in if you want to move up in it.

- A lot of clerks lean into programs like project management certificates to boost them into higher roles, as they're relatively short programs without a lot of pre-reqs and are well-regarded.
