this is so dumb. its better for everyone concerned to allow at least 2 days WFH, if not more. Less traffic, less pollution, more quality of life. The only people who lose out are a few rich real estate developers who gives a fuck about them.

Then it will be 5! And 6 the year after that! Eventually you’ll live in your federal workhouse! Provided by the government!

I’m wondering whether this *deputy clerk* has ever actually mentored a new employee. Pulling up a chair and watching a senior employee work hasn’t been how on-boarding worked for literally decades by now

Let them work from home and donate the office space to the local municipality to turn into affordable housing. We have more heads than we do roofs to put them under.

Lol Libs going to lose their public servant voting bloc too. Anyone want to take bets they will actually come in third place in 2025?

Real easy way to make people happy and help reduce climate change is to stop forcing people to work in offices when they can do the job at home. And improves traffic at the same time.

Well, they can count on me not spending any money in the core area, including entitled business owners whining about how I OWE them a living but they don’t have to earn one by being open longer hours.
I’m brown bagging, using my family’s parking, and not even my usual pop-in to Dollarama on my way to the car.
I’m just a black hole in what could have been properties used for other in-demand purposes.

Yeah go offend, upset snd completely alienate your biggest voting base even more than you already have. Get with the times for gods sake.
Do people realize rental space is THE largest cost to running a government?

After the next recession, we are ALL going to be back in the office 5 days a week.

The best way these civil servants can serve me is by staying off the roads and staying home. Mandate WFH.

I love this crap. I was forced back into the office in 2020, despite easily being able to do my entire job remotely. Nobody wrote stories about that.
Overpaid government employees being forced to do what the rest of us had to do ages ago isn’t news.

I work as a Captain on a tugboat so I can’t work from home.
However, I don’t understand why, if the majority of your duties can be done online or by phone, you need to come into the office 4 days a week. If the lying Liberals were truly green they should applaud the amount of cars this would take off the road.
Second, during Covid it was perfectly acceptable to use DocuSign for loans, Mortgages etc, saving the hassle of booking time off work to sign something. Now, it’s not?….

I skipped break this morning, worked through my scheduled lunch and I’m now taking a quick bite to eat and getting back at it in order to have a meeting with a colleague in a different time zone. I stopped long enough to check reddit and find out how much I’m slacking.
I’ve seen it all at this point. Union/non-union, private/public, office/construction. I find that usually the people always pointing their fingers at others about slacking are projecting their own desires to sluff off and jealousy for others people that are able to be self-directed.
