October is Healthy Workplace Month

Got an email that October is Healthy Workplace Month.

What a joke!

The OPS is a toxic workplace.

I wish they would stop being so fake and pretending they care and that the place is not filled to sycophants that will stab you in the back the first chance they get just to make themselves look better.

OPSEU Demand Set

WTF OPSEU?

Took a look at my local's demand set poll.

Nothing about job security.

Nothing about specific language re: AI job displacement.

Nothing about the ongoing mission of replacing FTE positions with temp/contract positions.

🙃

OPG 5 days a week onsite

Im coming from the private sector and recently on-boarded for about a 2 years contract role.

My previous job was pretty much wfh (4 days) and 1 day in office.

Looks like OPG is pushing hard for 5 days on-site. Any indication if they will embrace hybrid eventually?

I put alot of value on remote flexibility.

Do you think its worth it long term?

AMAPCEO - OPS Employer denies unions’ call for expanded GLP-1 coverage

That's interesting - I'm with OPSEU and have been approved for Zepbound. Is the Union working with accurate information here?

I had to get prior authorization but the criteria was a 30+ BMIs or a marginally problematic BMI with comorbidities. If my BMI was normal, than I wouldn't be approved. Same criteria for all GLPs for weight management.

If I only had diabetes, then they'd look at Wegovy or Mounjaro, which would have the weight-loss side effect.

Permanent and probation

Hello,

I was hired into a permanent position with the OPS at MOF and have been in the position for approximately five months.
My offer letter mentioned a six-month probationary period. I am 1 month away from probation ending.

So far, however, no one I report to has discussed my probation or provided any feedback indicating that there are concerns with my performance.

I have also not received any negative feedback or had any issues raised regarding my work.

I was wondering if anyone could clarify how the probationary period works and whether there is anything I should expect as I approach the end of the six-month period. I am very scared I may get fired or the word probation in general scares me.

Paystubs and WIN on sick leave

Hi everyone, does anyone else find it kind of strange that you cannot access your pay stubs while on sick leave and have to request a screenshot copy to your work email address? I know not everyone requires paystubs, but when you require them especially on short notice. Getting them is like pulling teeth. When I had to apply for childcare subsidy, they wanted my two recent pay stubs. I made the request in August. and they have still not actioned it. This was actually done by their telephone number. It got to the point I was calling every week to get an update. Finally, yesterday they gave me my current two paystubs one day after my deadline for subsidy appointment. Hopefully I can still get subsidy with providing things late but don’t go back to work for another month or whatever. I thought about going in for that but then realized probably not a good idea to physically go in. Why is it we can access our emails but not WIN ? It could have been avoided without all the back and forth. The service center for payroll is still pending from my August request lol.
