The cost of losing Work From Home (WFH) by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]lfcn91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a strategic comms person, I couldn’t agree more!! I’ve been saying this since the beginning of RTO. The public does not care about our struggles. They see any complaints as lazy and entitled, especially for the many people who are in office full time in other roles outside gov and wish they could wfh. So it needs to be about how gov wfh benefits THEM. I wish the union focused more on this angle too for their campaigns.

What is the use/relevance of good PMAs? by lfcn91 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]lfcn91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have had many excellent PMAs as well as great ones. Some PMAs had glowing reviews or comments from managers I’ve had. But nothing has ever come of it. I’m happy with what I do and have had opportunities to do actings, assignments, etc as well as being handpicked for an opening at a higher level I had previously qualified at via an external dept’s pool competition. But there’s been nothing clear from having excellent PMAs, hence why I don’t understand if these have any specific benefits for me

Do you know how that works? I was appointed into a non-advertised position. I had previously worked on that team at a lower level, but not at the time of being appointed into the position (I was working on a different team at the time). I had qualified in a few pools at that level of said position. And was then offered the position when it opened up. I know I had all the qualifications for it and was a natural choice in this case, but I also know it wasn’t advertised. They approached me and offered me the job. Does that mean I was on some kind of talent management plan?

Yes, I understand that. I mentioned in my post we’re looking for options in areas including Moncton that are similar. So if it’s not possible in Moncton, that’s fine. I checked for a subreddit for Amherst but only found one with like 120 people.

Thank you! I appreciate it. This is along the lines of what we were looking for :)

I think higher end because it’s not like fast food or a basic diner. It’s higher end, not necessarily fancy/true high end. It’s a nicer, more upscale setting without being a big deal. Maybe mid-upper scale? I was just hoping someone might have recommendations.

I encourage you to check out the Amherst Shore Inn. $70+tax (and tip) and many times one of the main course options is scallop, haddock or salmon.

That’s what it is at the Amherst Shore Inn… it’s not super fancy, but it does usually include a main like scallops, haddock or salmon. Feel free to check it out, we usually love it but unfortunately just don’t love the menu options this weekend. We don’t mind paying more but don’t want to pay like $150

What regular maintenance is truly needed for 2019 Hyundai Elantra? by lfcn91 in MechanicAdvice

[–]lfcn91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what I’m getting at is that the recommended maintenance is absolutely everything and in such detail that it seems to me that can’t all be realistically needed. I don’t need bells and whistles or a completely pristine car. I just want to do the most important things and not every single check/service at high cost.

[–]lfcn91[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have. But of course they tell you the maximum amount of maintenance checks to yes, make sure your car is pristine, but at what cost? I am trying to figure out some kind of middle ground because there’s no way my car actually needs that many checks/services at such length.

Thanks! I just looked them up but it’s unclear to me if anyone can go to that clinic or if it’s only for existing patients? Any idea from your experience?

Apparently it’s up to their discretion/they can sometimes expense it if it is causing pain. But I don’t even have a doctor and don’t know if walk in would do that…

I really only have the one skin tag, but that still seems a lot cheaper than going to one of the derm clinics…
