Trying to escape the grind that is 5 days a week in the office with endless budget cuts and delayed contract negotiations
Curious about how the Harris, McGuinty, and Wynne years compared to this current fiasco.
We are being treated like 5 year olds. Permanent colleagues, please keep fighting because we can’t take the same risks as you.
Competed as an external candidate in Feb 2025 and was hired via reach back 12 months ago as FXT. Current contract is up Dec 31. Hoping to roll over into permanent at 18 months. However, months ago I was told by my manager that there will need to be another competition this fall - and she couldn’t say if that comp would be for a permanent position. I am almost certain that my position is vacant but have no official confirmation yet.
Hi everyone, I’m curious to hear from a variety of workers about how much hybrid and remote work you’re encountering in your workplaces right now. A strict RTO policy at my workplace is seriously making me want to change jobs, but I know many employers are being regressive about hybrid work. At my workplace we’re unionized but in what will be a years long battle to get hybrid work back.
Does anyone else’s workplace “require” the use of Shifts in Microsoft Teams to track work hours and location and if so, when was this policy implemented?
You can work together to take risks that contract workers would easily be fired over. Map your workplaces, identify key relationships, and take collective action - the more of you that are involved, the less risk you are taking on as an individual employee.
Colleagues that have hybrid work arrangements with their managers are telling me that they feel guilty about it but I don’t resent them for this because we need flexible work for all.
According to the DM, responses will start going out next week
