😏😏😏
You’re confused?! It’s pretty simple: trying to stand up for all canadian workers for better wages. Aren’t you feeling the pinch everywhere lady?!
Although PSAC works for his worker, because its one of the biggest union we have thé capacity to pit the bar up for All Canadian workers. It’s pretty simple.
Productivity loss!? Are you kidding me!!?! I’m constantly logging in to answer emails and requests from the public! Otherwise I would leave at 4:00 to pickup my son from school.
Quit if you don’t like it. Nobody owes you anything. There are thousands of foreign workers who would love to have your job and they wont mind coming to the office.
As a mom I felt like I finally had a work life balance working from home. Going back is a logistical nightmare
I sent an application to ircc in December and still haven’t got an AOR. Processing times are unacceptable.
The PBO has said that the average cost per full time public sector worker is over $125k per year. I think we need to ask ourselves as taxpayers if this plus increases is at all fair or sustainable.
The average PSAC public sector worker makes an annual salary between 40k-60k annually… NOT 125k.
@Harry Azcrac then where is the extra money going? It seems like an impossible compensation cost but the PBO has been clear about it. Maybe it’s time to reassess benefits and pension if there isn’t enough going to the paycheques of workers.
@Marc Schouten the PM and MPs and the cabin ministers make between 150k to 350k a year. Additionally, they get over $100 million in bonuses a year. On top, under Trudeau government, over $15billion contract were outsourced using taxpayers money. So you can try putting two and two together.
I work harder at home than I ever did at the office. Plus my commute costs me from $400 to $500 per month. As well as adding two plus hrs to my work day for the commute.
Same here! I regularly stay online 30-45min longer due to the fact that I have no commute while working from home. Yet we still have all these pigeons saying we do nothing when they have zero clue what they’re talking about.
Why on Earth would you send employees back to the office when they have been doing their job properly for three years? It doesn’t make sense from any point of view: economic, health & safety, environmental… Public servants have to go through a performance review three times every year. If your remote work has been evaluated as satisfactory, why should you return? It’s about politics, not management.
Especially after letting so many building leases go, and not having enough room anymore. What a joke 😂
And spending millions of dollars on equipment to conduct remote work. Wait, I forgot this government likes to spend without counting… Remote work is a XXI century reality, but for the minister and senior management used to the old ways. It’s not for every position, but for many it works even better than onsite work.
Thanks Vassy.
She strikes the right point: one size doesn’t fit all.
It’s nine percent over three years tell the truth three lousy percent a year what a bunch of cheapskates not long ago the last Angeles school district went on strike for three days they got a thirty percent raise that’s right why is the Canadian government so cheap when it comes to their own citizens
Joyce Napier, are the public servants working at entry level more educated than Doctors and Polices? Is there any logic behind to make comparisons among professons where the nature of job is completely different?
Defund Trudeau!!
We support the workers!!!
did that guy just say low productivity working from home while he himself is working from home?! LMAO.
Right? It’s that mentality that the regular worker doesn’t work hard if he’s not watched.
Joyce can’t have it both ways. “They are negotiating for themselves, not all workers” and yet their remote work gains will “change the way Canada works”
Pick a lane. Which one is it?
If its true that working from home means low productivity then no tech companies or any big international corporations would allow their workers to work from home regards to office and administrative work. But the reality is actually the opposite. Most companies prefer their office employees to work from home as it reduces the cost, while the productivity are shown to be unaffected.
Additionally, many buildings have been leased out, so there is not enough space for all the workers. If the federal government were to break these lease, then they will be held liable and have to pay hundreds of millions to corporations for breaking the lease.
Will all Canadians get the same kind of compensation in the light of Trudeau treating himself a lavish lifestyle and vacations?
