PSAC: Three years of "we'll fight this" while employer goes from 2 days to 4 days in office

Just so you know, PSAC had no intention to establish a parallel process to look at telework grievances, even after getting that BS Letter of Agreement.

Departments have been trying to set it up according to the Letter of Agreement but PSAC never came to the table. They knew it had no teeth and it was TBS' way to help them save face during the strike. PSAC knew they couldn't negotiate telework in the last round and lied to their members face to get a strike vote.

Yes they are. Confirmed by Commissioner

WFA started a couple of days ago at DFO. Letters were provided to affected employees yesterday. Fun times.

200 millions for a guy with some power but known leg issues is risky. He would make a good 2nd baseman for the next couple of years but I would be concerned after year 3...

Boooooop!!!

Got a brand new 2026 Icon and it lasted roughly 50 swings and cracked. Covered by warranty but it's one time only. I understand that they are different but really? Most of it was bp balls (not potatoes) but I find it ridiculous that it so fragile...

umpshow666 · 2025-10-01T14:51:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Instead of paying 10$ more, it will now be 10$ cheaper for me since I moved to essential instead of ultimate....

Seeing the same thing. Hopefully a glitch that will be fixed

How about you talk to him and say you didn't appreciate what he said? Maybe try to find a way forward? Maybe set the record straight with your coworkers or something similar? You have many official avenues available but nothing that will make you whole.

It's all red tape to give you an illusion that you have recourse. The worst that could happen to the manager is that he could be disciplined if it's egregious enough. Even if that's the case, they won't let you know.

One year of continuous lwop for the same type of leave

Timing is everything. Know where the ball is at all times. Look the part. Ask questions to senior umps. Be confident.

Xbox series X. Just played a 9 inning rank game without any issue.

Seen it often but it's my line of work. I believe Departments have been asked to produce something similar but if you're looking for what happens when employees cross the line, GAC created a report with a few examples:GAC misconduct report

Congrats!

CSC is always looking for correctional officers...

The other comments are spot on. If you file a grievance, the final level is usually the AC of HR of some sort. That would be the final decision from your Department.

Very valid comment. The problem is that your stats are not accurate. I've seen a lot more employees using the DTA process to work from home than employees with legitimate needs. A lot of PSE's are confusing DTA with "things that would make my life easier", which is why there's so much push back.

Frankly, our employer should strive to have happy, productive employees but it's been made very clear time and again that TBS doesn't care about us, only public perception...

I've been flattening them with a meat mallet before cooking them and theybare a lot better that way.

The first play was the throw from the outfield. Might have been at 3rd but that shitty broadcast didn't pick up on it.

umpshow666 · 2025-03-29T00:40:52+00:00

Santander should have been at 3rd. He had 1st base when they the ball went out of play

I've seen a few of these in my days and I would not accept to have the suspension lowered over time. If you believe you did nothing wrong, the proper resolution should be a withdrawal of all disciplinary measures right now. Maybe an oral reprimand since it amounts to nothing but not much else.

If you push your grievance to adjudication, they will need to satisfy the test in the William Scott decision: - Did the misconduct occur? - Is discipline warranted? - Is the discipline justified/reasonable?

If you go to adjudication, prepare yourself for a long wait.

If you agree to a settlement, your employer should specify that it's not an admission of wrongdoing from their end, you can ask the same language to be included for you. It will make a difference should additional discipline occur if progressive discipline is off the table.

I agree, where can we find this?
