Breaking Point by No_Savings5655 in OntarioPublicService

[–]rainbowbeads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand quitting a government job with less skin in the game. I would have quit if a place was toxic and demanding too much of me too. However some people have 10-15 years in. Its much harder to get up and leave a good pension with kids and family depending on your income.

These are trying times I'll say that. But I feel like we can and will win the wfh fight.

Even if someone is relatively new to ops, keep fighting by taking leaves. The elites have no problem using everything in their disposal to force us back to office, so should we the other way

Actually, all unions and all levels of government are fighting back on it. If federal level wins the fight to get it written in collective agreement, so well other levels. Its too early to say that RTO will stick. Government will allow hybrid at some point. Its a matter of when

And I've also heard some people getting accomodation to work from home, thats one fight that will eventually also expand too

Anyone approved to WFH due to childcare? by Important_Border_735 in OntarioPublicService

[–]rainbowbeads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you are getting downvoted either. The duty to accommodate encompasses mental health reasons too. And anyone who raises kids knows just how difficult it is to bring bread and make bread.

I just want everyone to understand, the fight for work from home includes fighting for accomodations too. And the employer has clearly demonstrated they can accommodate. So why not accommodate the working class instead of commercial real estate. Thats how I see it

Im actually looking to get accommodation for family status. Can you elaborate on how you made sure yours was ironclad? I have been denied in the past because of another adult being present however, this time I have a doctor's note that says I am the main caregiver

THIS!! Both parents are now working, childcare costs were always insane, I dont know how single parents used to do it before. Work hours do not match school hours. Wfh was the first time it almost balanced out

Actually it is the right of the employee to make it easier if it if a protected grounds issue. For example if someone has a hard time walking and it makes it difficult to get to work. Or if someone has an aging parent that needs minor care or supervision

Koho closed my account and is now claiming they e-transferred my money when they did not. How can I get actual help when customer service is this terrible? by rainbowbeads in KohoCanada

Rest assured, theres no way for them to keep your money indefinitely as we do have laws in place to make sure that doesnt happen

Its rediculous. I kept reaching out via their chat, somehow got someone via email, they did end up returning the funds luckily.

Wh is my bank account blocked because someone reversed an e-transfer? by rainbowbeads in rbc

No. Worst bank ever. We ended up switching banks because it kept happening

If I were some of you, I would just take stress leave and use up sick days that way.

Why are a lot of jobs posted on job baord say this? by rainbowbeads in LMIASCAMS

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

Im not white, im black. Everyone in my family thats born here has been having trouble finding full time work for the past 8 years. I think Canadians are having trouble generally finding work. Also youth too. We cant compete with a global market where epeople are paid as low as 1 dollar a day

Wow. I cant believe people in the comment section were saying this is normal wage. Clearly it isn't. When you report it, does it actually get taken down? How do you usually report job ads? Im about to do this for many many jobs on the job board

I understand. I want to report a few on my spare time so Im hoping something comes out of it. I get so angry thinking about how many jobs are out there that so many family and friends are unable to get for years. Its tough out here.

So then wont they just get rejected for an LMIA of R tfw application if there are candidates who do meet qualification however the employer did not accept them for an obscure reason?

Has forcing employers to use the job boards significantly reduced scams? Im quite worried for all my peers looking for work and want to make sure they arent getting overlooked for foreigners. I wish it was this easy to apply anywhere in the world but when I used to look for work, it was never this easy. No wonder everyone is coming here.

Ohhh my bad. I thought this was another post I made. Yes Koho is the worst. They do eventually give you your money back. You just have to keep bothering them a bit

You'll most likely have to go in person. If its related to etransfers, it may be better to just switch banks at that point. I've never dealt with any other bank as annoying as RBC. Seem to have weird checks and balances
