blue_gold_84 reacted to JCon in Canadian Politics
We are ruled by a handful of corporations and this gov't has done nothing to help. They could have blocked mergers and introduced new measures to protect consumers. They have chosen the opposite. Even this is siding with a couple of mega-corps over other mega-corps.

blue_gold_84 reacted to GCJenks in The WFH Thread
I myself work a hybrid schedule, depending on the task that needs doing. That being said, 4 of the 5 teams I support aren’t local so I am never local to them unless I travel so it doesn’t really matter where I am. If I’m punching numbers on spread sheets and doing statistical analysis home is more productive, collaborative tasks often in office is better.
In my mind WFH needs to be treated like going to the office, dressed for work, breaks as per the office. I always start when I would normally leave and finish when I get home so they get at least an extra hour from me those days too.
My wife is a Fed civil servant, working an Ottawa based job and works harder and does more from home than she ever did in the office.

For those wondering if McCrae got injured late in the game, he is practicing this morning.
Sheahan was still doing the holding on field goals.
Not a bid deal but Demski isn't at practice.

Starting defence at practice is the same as the Montreal game.

Beeksma is another Guelph guy.
Ticats signed him in the 5th round in 2022, went to Riders for a week during their Covid outbreak then back to Ticats.
He got into 6 games with Cats (1 defensive tackle, 4 ST tackles) and was one of the final cuts at this year's camp.

blue_gold_84 reacted to 3rdand1.5 in The WFH Thread
No MOST are....however SOME don't. Yes this is true in the office and was like that pre-covid, and I am sure is like that in most work environments. But in my experience certain individuals have pushed it further and done even less with WFH and hybrid then they did before. Management especially within the Gov't has hands tied at this time with large Unions protecting these individuals.
Again I am not advocating for or against WFH, I am only speaking of my personal experience, within Gov't management and some of the difficulties with both WFH and hybrid scheduling, that do contribute to delays.
Perhaps this has a factor in Lawler's delays, perhaps not.......

Why do you think people who work from home should get paid less?
I work for a company that is 100% remote and has been since it started, even before Covid.
Gives them access to hire from a bigger talent pool, as we have employees from all around the world, in 40 different countries. It’s about company culture and being deliberate in who you hire. They even decided to do things like give everyone 6 weeks holidays to match what the Europeans in the company typically get.
Hire right and treat your employees well, and good things tend to happen.

If Lawler is waiting for something Federal, good luck. With the hybrid 3 in the office 2 at home or full WFH model the Fed's are employing across departments, things are so far behind and not improving.
I can say first hand that the federal Gov't has some amazing hard working dedicated employees, but in the same breathe I can also honesty say first hand that there are many who are not. CoVid certainly changed the work dynamic within the gov't and a number of employees have used that and their huge Union backing to manage to continue to get full time pay with barely part time work. It is unfortunate that some people are doing it, but they are and it is/has caused massive delays in most thing gov't.

Are you under the impression that people working from home don't actually work?
