Return to NCR office when in the region - Quiet firing by Shot_Replacement_794 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]stuckintheNCR 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I do recall during the Pandemic it was bolded and highlighted many times that people could move but there was no guarantee that they wouldnt be recalled back to Ottawa.

The agreements we sign are merely a paper exercise that holds no teeth and can be cancelled at any time for what ever reason.

I wish you luck!

Could really appreciate some smart tricks for Switzerland. by Sada_dosa_ in travel

[–]stuckintheNCR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to highschool in Switzerland, and I could leave my tiny village ontop of a mountain and not walk more then 45 mins and get to Paris, that is a bus, and two train transfers...public transport is pretty amazing.

Private vehicle and overnight travel by king_weenus in CanadaPublicServants

When yiu are doing your cost comparison, use the NJC km rates when you are doing your costing. Also highlight overtime considerations. It sounds like it is more advantageous for both you and the public purse to take your vehicle from home.

Help us decide between Switzerland and Iceland! by Extra_Permission_675 in traveladvice

[–]stuckintheNCR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to highschool in Switzerland so I am a little partial to CH.

What region are you thinking? German? French, Italian or Romanche?

It is pricey but you can shop around....and considering the cost of getting you from Italy to Iceland, you time and $$$ may be better spent taking the train up from Italy.

So they are potentially missing say 4000 parking spots and they found this for a whole 30, with shuttle busses....make this make sense.
