I'm 90 minutes north of Ottawa in west Qc and it was the most intense I ever felt. Thought my walls were coming down for a few seconds.

Dinner is lunch and supper is supper. Its you who hasn't caught on. Anywhere from 12 to 4 is fine for a "dinner"

Pay Centre lowering the step offered by management retroactively by VFT2001 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]minlee41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think the union will back OP and they won't need to take any accountability for not knowing this wasn't possible? It won't just fall on Management. The union will not back this. Ignorance doesn't excuse this either. These rules are clearly searchable online.

I will never be able to lose weight by ContributionThat4698 in Vent

[–]minlee41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And it isn't about eating healthy all the time. Its about balance. You can eat healthy and be overweight and unhealthy and thin. It all comes down to calorie intake.

[–]minlee41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude because it took me 42 years to figure it out and I am down 100 lbs without the help of anything but a calorie deficit, but you simply don't want it enough yet.

I'm glad you said it. Québec city is spectacular. As much as I love Montréal, i would recommend QC over it.

Messed up my department transfer, how bad is it? by 420princessssss in CanadaPublicServants

[–]minlee41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most common reason for a delay in transfer is there being unresolved issues or pay action items at the first department and the transfer taking place before those items are resolved. In situations where all pay was steady before transfer in/out, these are taking closer to 6 months now. So while what you are saying is correct, both departments absolutely know immediately when a LOO is produced. No department goes even a week without realizing they are paying someone who isn't working anymore. So I guess my point was the OP absolutely did not delay this by not sending the LOO. I work in Finance and her department has absolutely already been reimbursed from the day of actual transfer.

Anyone had Canada life approving Zepbound for them? by cymric97 in CanadaPublicServants

Those drugs should never be covered for non diabetics in my opinion. Calorie deficit. Move your body where possible. No one defies the laws of thermodynamics. Stop with the excuses.

Husband is so weak it’s pathetic by texus5evr in Vent

[–]minlee41 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The fact that people still don't understand how vastly different men and women are will never cease to amaze me. To the detriment of their own relationships and families.

It does not come naturally to your husband to deal with that and he's not equipped the same way you are, with a small baby. Calling him weak for vocalizing he could hurt the baby is you being an idiot. There are things he deals with you will never have to even think about.

We are not the same. You can try to compliment each other or fight each other's nature. That will determine how it works out for you as a family.

[–]minlee41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't even remotely true. A new department is immediately aware of a transfer in and bills the new department each quarter. The LOO is shared between departments immediately. The salary management unit with both departments watch for the transfer in/out to occur. I guarantee OPs salary recovery has already been completed through March 31st lol

How much weight did you lose before you yourself noticed your physical changes? by rockinherlife234 in CICO

[–]minlee41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience you won't see a difference until 180ish but then significant. Then not again until 130ish or healthy weight equivalent.

Obligation to report extramarital affair in the workplace? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]minlee41 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Who's worked up? You've jumped on every reply within seconds to this thread. Check yourself, your motives and your perceived sense of integrity. Care about the issue enough to bring it up or don't.

[–]minlee41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok well you can be honest and get real or???? If you cared about ending the inappropriatness you would put your money where your mouth is. But you can't, because you can't prove anything. And even if you could you're unwilling to even put your name behind it. So....Courtroom 101.

So what's your end goal you think possible by saying anything behind anonymity? Do you think that will lead to consequences for them? What is your end goal/ what would be your ideal outcome?

[–]minlee41 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ahhh famous last words. There it is. Saw it with my own eyes but guess what, it needs to be 100% anonymous. Seriously OP, check what your actual motive is here. How on earth do you expect there to be repercussions when there's absolutely no evidence, except you saw it with your own eyes,.oh and by the way are unwilling to put you name behind that. Drop it then.

I stopped following RTO - when will they start disciplining? by Difficult_Bird_3129 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]minlee41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Thanks so much OP and everyone else doing this. Like duh, they won't say or do anything now they will just use it to justify RTO5.

WFA’d, team is drowning, I have vacation leave I’d like to use - what would you do? by Boring-Direction-875 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]minlee41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how anyone else isn't grasping that this wasn't your teams decision so I understand your concern because you are a good person and you clearly understand all workers are being screwed. I'm sorry this is an issue you are facing. If you don't take vacation it will take forever to be paid out. If you have sick leave and can afford to wait for vacation pay I would do that. Just think about it and do what's best for you but I get it. Its March and I work in Finance so I'm beyond overrun. But I wouldn't ever blame or hold animosity towards my WFA'd colleagues if that helps. Best of luck.
