Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

I will give Canada Post management some credit in that their trial to support a reasonable online bill payment system was a decent idea, but still wasn’t enough of a pivot to fill the needs of Canadians in changing times.

I’m still amazed that Canada Post has essentially the same amount of workers as the CAF’s regular force effective trained strength (55k).

I have a couple of family members that work there and one did work on that.

The issue is that rather than work like a business they work like government so they are always too late to the game to be competitive despite the good ideas.

I have always gotten great service from my posties. To the point where one of them was making sure I got my mail from the PASC who could not update my address change. Also had a friend who was a postie and saved a life of one of their clients and another who made such an impact on a old veteran on his route, that the old guy left him his bagpipes when he passed.

Return-to-office rules broken by almost a third of Treasury Board staff: document

Government data indicated that only 70.82 per cent of Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat workers followed the new rules in September.

Nice.

I think their weasling around this in the PA response is a lot of BS, but don't think it's just TBS; our section was really diligent in Sept, and everyone met or exceeded the 3 (or 5 days for military) of in office presence except for the people traveling.

Still a ton of parking spaces and empty desks at Carling, which is fine, but does piss me off that I can't actually get an assigned desk or a locker because our L2 decided we didn't need it as we're all just in 3 days a week so hoteling works (it doesn't, mathematically).

I hear you. We’re seeing a lot of slack in the rules and it’s causing frustration for the teams actually following the intent. Rules are inconsistant and we are seeing a big increase in LR cases.
