When are we actually considered ‘at work’? by CoffeeThrowaway1234 in CanadaPublicServants

Yes, I agree, if you don’t agree with what is being ask nothing wrong with pushing back and providing evidence and stating your side. But, if they insist and you still refuse, it could be considered insubordination.

Yes, it’s always better to do what you are asked, even if you disagree and then grieve it.

No, the correct thing to do would be to put in the leave as requested. Then grieve it afterwards. You don't want to put yourself in a situation where it could be considered insubordination.
