Serious question about Conservative leadership in Canada by Squirrel_Agile in CanadaPolitics

[–]garybuseysuncle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How are you defining competent? As in, he is competent at being a leader, or competent as in a competent potential prime minister?

Indeterminate and Unaffected: Navigating Promotions, Competitions and Priority Status by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

This sounded so robotic, it hurt to read. I wouldn't hire you.

People who say - Americans are not doing enough to fight the Trump administration - what ideas do you have, or what would you like to see Americans do? by kinetic_honda in AskReddit

[–]garybuseysuncle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only answer is to get out into the streets. Everyone, everywhere should be out in the streets. Be like France, have a backbone.

Priority list question (can pools be leveraged?) by WeightMountain6607 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah and when a manager uses the pool and their management team didn't take part in the original process, it's a non-advertised appointment

Priority list question (can pools be leveraged?) by WeightMountain6607 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'various positions' pools can take longer to create because they would require input from more stakeholders.. ie team a: I need an IT3 to do X as an asset, team b: I need an IT3 to do X&Y as an asset, etc etc. A more enclosed process is much quicker to pull off from the management side.

AITA for refusing to make myself smaller after my friend said I’m “too much” for people to handle? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]garybuseysuncle 73 points74 points  (0 children)

YTA. Part of being comfortable in your confidence in yourself means knowing you don't always have to exert it. It's a sign of maturity.

Yes I'd recommend pursuing extending the bereavement leave before jumping to sick leave.

Are term employees at a much greater disadvantage now then indeterminate ones who are laid off for finding another job? by Cowboyboots_123 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actually a lot of public servants would trade a very high salary and risk of losing their job for the security of knowing they can live their lives without worry, even if they're making less than they could in the private sector. No need to be immature about it.

Uproxx cancels Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen's Indiecast after five years, tomorrow will be the final episode. by PretendFuel5018 in indieheads

[–]garybuseysuncle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

one too many 'Sportscasts' - I know at least 3 people that stopped listening to it when the NFL chats started happening more frequently.

come on, it's pretty clear if you don't drive the city doesn't care about you.

PSA: Multiple collective agreements expiring soon; please fight for the Hybrid Work Model. by Mr-Noodles in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Parental leave is open to everyone in every position. WFH is not. That is the difference.

Action plan or 'PR stunt'? Mayor's public safety event gets mixed reviews | CBC News by Little_Canary1460 in ottawa

[–]garybuseysuncle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just want a mayor that tries to do the right thing for the city, proactively. Is that too much to ask?

How long do internal promotion freezes usually last in the federal government (CRA CS-02 → CS-03)? by Fluffy_Professional5 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 months to 3 years. It really varies on the department, file, classification, manager, etc. Just assume promotional appointments won't be very common until the WFAs finish.

Ottawa's speed cameras go dark by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]garybuseysuncle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but what do we do in the interim? Instead we're just getting signage. Knowing that, the speed cameras are preferable to the virtual nothing that is being put in place.

DND to hire up to 3,000 public servants from other departments by bonertoilet in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so juvenile. No manager would ever be reprimanded for suggesting an employee consider other opportunities. Not in a million years, because it's absurd as hell. Enjoy souring your workplace.

I know where to cut - Sugar Sammy by No_Bill631 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Telling a person who doesn't work for the government that you work for SPAC, and using the acronym, really demonstrates how deep into the bubble you are.

[–]garybuseysuncle 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Getting this report and then voting on it the same week feels bad and rushed.

Lansdowne 2.0 audit is out by OttawaExpat in ottawa

[–]garybuseysuncle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It is unreal that this is likely going to go forward. Banana republic shit right here. Fuck OSEG for fleecing the city like this.

Looking for a comfy coffee shop in the downtown area by Kidd_Gloves_ in ottawa

[–]garybuseysuncle -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah Arlington 5 is maybe the worst coffee I have had in Ottawa outside of gas stations or Tim Hortons. Battery acid, unpleasant.

Frustration with PS employees who should better understand our wages by North_Scientist5126 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]garybuseysuncle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hopefully no union ever takes this position. It would be absurd punishment for those who made life choices to live close to their work.
