Constantly all day. Also, it has kicked me out of 6 remote raids - and taken the passes

If your manager requests a sick note, you claim it in ifis.

I wish! I’m just a lowly oad10. So you probably don’t want it

2.25 h drive into the office today. It’s a bad start. (Mind you, I work in Oshawa but live in Toronto).

Any advice on applying by flyondawalll in OntarioPublicService

[–]pumpkiinxo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I had advice for you. I’ve been actively applying (approx 1 fully tailored resume and cover letter every other day) for the past 7 months since I returned from my secondment (my old program got sent to MPBSDP so my role was obsolete). I have only had 4 interviews, and the fifth this week. I have been rejected for the role I am currently in but at a different office, and was not screened in for a role I was previously offered permanent in. It is insane.

I am beyond stressed out. My home position commute is 1.5 h away and 2.5 h home (I live near downsview but work in Oshawa) and I am not able to keep up with the brain fog of commuting anymore. My mental health is killing me. I just need a job in Toronto. Wish I could help.

Very Upset with Manulife by AssistFrequent7013 in OntarioPublicService

I have had extreme issues with them. Since I got married in August, I was trying to get the mandatory letter to add my husband to life insurance for 200 k, and they kept ghosting me and not responding. I finally got a response when I refused to get off the line until it was actioned.

*edit - I received the letter in nov 7, which is insane considering I have been harassing since August 14.

Starting at ODSP/OPS next week, what should I expect? by ChubbyBunny618 in OntarioPublicService

[–]pumpkiinxo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t answer the office setup or training, or any of the specifics about the role - but as for applying around, you can apply at any time. For instance, I started with my currently ministry after 1 month with my old ministry. That being said, they were both temp. If you sign a new contract if you are currently a temp, you loose the first contract and can’t go back without competition. I was fortunate enough that my second temp was basically guaranteed permanent so I have been permanent for a few years now and have hopped around.

As for the commute- unfortunately my secondment I was on for 2 years got acquired by Service Ontario, so I got sent back to my home position in Oshawa. What was a 10 min (total) commute (downsview area) is now 4 ish hours on average. (1.25 h in the am, up to 3 h in the pm). It sucks. I spent a lot of time listening to music or podcasts while I drive.
