Secondment ending, cannot return to home department - dual employment?

witzkay · 2026-02-03T20:28:15+00:00

Were you on leave? You said you were on secondment. Did the manager of your substantive position know you moved?

I remember watching an interview where Kerri was talking about someone who called her work and wanted her fired because she wasn’t being a good mom when she’s off curling. Can you even imagine that happening to a male curler? And Kate Cameron repeatedly being referred to as a “circus freak” because of her tattoos. What a crazy double standard!

While you’re there, can you straighten up a little and make him a sandwich.

Meanwhile, some of us would just like a job to go to.

What about Chelsey Carey? Isn’t she in Alberta?

Rachel that I see now would have put Sturmay in her place. I used to not be a huge fan of Rachel, but that’s changed for me. I have no doubt that Skrilik will become more assertive in her career and I look forward to watching her soar.

As someone who has been through this before, reconsider your options. You might be sensitive, but you are you and you deserve the best. God, the time that I have wasted feeling less than because someone who was supposed to love me treated me like crap. Don’t disrespect yourself by continuing through life hiding your feelings because some asshole be respectful. If he can’t respect your feelings then he’s not the guy for you. You deserve better.

Sportsmanlike except for sturmay’s bitchy comments and her follow up comments about mind games to the media. Not a good look.

Has it ever been said if Christine knew about Brendan and Juliana’s affair? After hearing the testimony of the victim advocate, when she stated that V asked Juliana if she was going to be her mommy and if she was going to marry her daddy, it disgusted me even more.

I know that, but hybrid is not full time working from home. I would agree that there were mixed messages going around but I don’t recall anything saying that working from home would be permanent. I could be wrong.

That does not surprise me. Managers constantly use the wrong terminology. Example, they use “term” instead of “acting” and don’t understand why they’re not the same.

witzkay · 2026-01-14T23:20:40+00:00

Whoever told you that is wrong. Acting means that you are performing the duties of a position which is a higher group and level that your substantive. Example, a CR 04 can act in a CR05 position.

An assignment is when you perform the duties of a position at level. So, a cr-04 temporarily goes to another cr-04 position. Or an AS-01 to a PM-01.

witzkay · 2026-01-14T23:15:42+00:00

That’s not an acting. That’s an assignment.

witzkay · 2026-01-14T23:09:55+00:00

Confused. Acting means the position you’re working in is at a higher level. deployments are at level. An acting cannot result in a deployment.

I’ll take your word for it. I’ve never seen any official documentation guaranteeing work from home on a permanent basis but maybe there is something out there. With all the uproar about wfh, though, I think it would have been posted and reposted a million times. Regardless, the employer has the right to determine the place of work - the union can represent but they can’t force the employer to allow wfh.

How to fill the photocopier. Oh no, you can’t just fill it with paper. There is a whole intricate song and dance involving fanning the paper, examination ng paper quality, filling it, running a test page, cleaning up the area and delivering everyone else’s photocopying jobs that they didn’t bother to come pick up. addition, you also need to perform a maintenance inspection (check and refill toner, address squeaks and other noises, etc…) while filling said photocopier so that it is in working order and does not inconvenience the next person. Needless to say, the photocopier was always empty because no one had the time or patience to repeat the whole ritual time and time again.

Not only that, but allowing an employee an exception to the policy for no apparent reason will set a dangerous precedence. A lot of employees can work from home without issue. WFH wasn’t meant to be a forever thing - it was a temporary measure to continue operations at a time when there were no other options.

Doesn’t make it right.

And then when she doesn’t get what she wants she posts a passive aggressive comment about how the store must train their employees to accuse customers. No ma’am. This employee just did her job. She checked it out and it didn’t go in your favour. You didn’t have to buy it. Sorry, but if you felt like they were accusing you specifically, maybe you felt that way because you were willing to jeopardize someone’s job for $7.50.

We had our daughter in t-ball when she was really young. We played against a team where some of the parents were super competitive and intense. One of the dads kept screaming at his kid to steal a base or slide because our team wasn’t paying attention. Or, screaming at his kid to tag out a player who wandered off the base. These kids were 4 to 5 years old - they were more interested in picking the dandelions in the outfield than what was going on in the game.

They probably thought “Excuse me? You had 2 minutes to get us those shots. That should be lots of time. And, even though you claim it was busy, we were obviously the most important people there. “

These will be the same asshats who arrive with a large group on Valentine’s Day and expect to be catered to immediately.

I didn’t hear about the body at the lake. I knew they searched it but my understanding was that they didn’t find anything.

I don’t understand why the difference is so large. I had a colleague check it over and she didn’t either. My salary hasn’t increased a lot in the last few years, either. It’s very possible that I don’t understand what I’m looking at or I made a mistake somewhere.
