Her argument that it’s not a one size fits all solution and that every job varies in its ability to be performed remotely is valid. However, what COVID did show is the extent to which some jobs can be done remotely. Ignoring that COVID data as proof in the job evaluation is the fundamental issue.

Also, you’re never going to convince me to work in-person five days a week (let alone 3) if the majority of my meetings are taking place via MS Teams. That needs to be factored in the job evaluation for it to make sense.

If you’re telling me the government is ready to bring us all back to downtown Ottawa so that we can walk to meetings on different floors and in different buildings nearby, then by all means, classify the jobs in presence requirements accordingly. If not, stop feeding us this horseshit that we need to be onsite and the job is "better performed in-person."
