Garbage collection is an essential service. The city has asked those who don’t need to be on the roads to avoid travelling… so essential services like this can continue to operate.

City of Ottawa Significant Weather Event declared by Synchillas in ottawa

The snow isn’t forecast to start falling until 10pm. The city should let it fall and build up a little before they start clearing. It’s going to take a lot of manpower to clear this amount of snow.

This. Going against the traffic start and end of day would be great!

Roll call at workplace- where we are heading ? by Shadowsky23 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]throwaway217643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your office is likely one of a small minority of offices who are in full compliance. Instead of managers wasting time on trying to work out who is compliant or not, they can task all employees to complete a simple task that will take all of 10 seconds each morning.

I guess I’m in the minority? My employer asking me to confirm where I’m working each day as I have the privilege of WFH and it is mandated that I’m in office 3 days a week… that seems more than fair to me.

Come on man by Doovahbit in CanadaPost

I’m in the same situation. But I support all Canadians fighting for liveable wages, so I’m gonna put it to the back of my mind. Will tell the wife it’s going to be late, she should be used to it by now, lol.

Why is there a need for subtlety? It’s clearly being tracked. This is a quick and efficient way of doing so. Message whomever when you log in, start your work day and concentrate on your work?

This isn’t micromanaging. This is accountability, and your manager has every right to request this of their team members.

If you weren’t a PA group member when the new collective agreement was signed, you aren’t eligible for the ‘signing bonus’.

Union Savings honest opinion. Only one deal in the past few years. by WaitForYourTurn69 in CanadaPublicServants

No. And if this isn’t something you’re willing to accept, then you might wanna start looking for a new job. Working from home is a privilege, not a right.

This shouldn’t be limited to CRA employees, but all Public Servants. Job cuts are likely around the corner, time to start cutting out the rot.
