LOL I did.  He seemed quite surprised we have been strung along as long as we have. He promised to look into it and get back to me within a month. To his credit, he did email me ( through the CoC) but his email said the branch advised him spec pay was their number one priority and a decision...

interesting stuff. I have a colleague who is with the auditor general. Last night we were enjoying a beverage at a local watering hole and the  conversation turned to why the public service pensions are unsustainable.  I wasn't armed with the tools to provide a rebuttal to his office's...
