WE DO WORK! Just remotely. Everything is digital now, I dont have any reason to be in office five days per week. The hybrid model has proven to be more efficient, effective and better for mental and physical health. Youre still getting quality services (at least with the Ontario Government) with happier employees. Its 2025, nearly 2026 get with the times!

I know for a fact remote working gives less work and more shopping, gardening also play time with kids and if I need to talk to someone I want them dressed and in the office.

Start a home based business if you want to work from home. Government employees should be expected to go to the office.

Why would we want to read about this when there is so much job insecurity in this city. I find this a bit insensitive

The problem is that it cost too much for the tax payer to fund government home employment with each government employee home office equipped with electronic devises and services, year to year ("As of 2024 , 367,772 people were working for the federal public service in Canada.).If they want to work from home, they should consider themselves self employed and pay for their office essentials themselves and then write them off (as per Sq.. ft. they use in their homes for office space), of their income at the end of the tax year.I understand that it's a sweet gig at home, but in todays economy, food prices alone will send a family of four to the food bank.

Why? Other than you being jealous they work a job that's capable of being completed at home? Do you like your tax dollars going towards office rentals and real estate for the government or something?

The problem with too much remote work is that it is more difficult to assess employees for leadership roles when you don’t see them interact directly with others. I think it is clear that many people can deliver very working remotely but there may be a cost to those employees in lost opportunities

Risenshine33. Our tax dollars pay to employ you. If we want you in the office, that’s where you need to be. Will you take a reduction in pay if we let you stay home?

No, and we need to stop the Online Harms Act.

When I can hear a dog barking and kids making noise in the background that interferes with the conversation I'd say yes, it's time to go back to the office.

Definitely not. How much power and control do you want governments to have. We need to get back to basics and teach our kids to be discerning following laws that govern mankind. Let’s look back in history and see what we’re missing. Oh yes! Life’s guide book If you have a problem with your automobile you take it to repair shops that use manuals for reference. What a novel idea. The designers knew how things are supposed to work. Mankind also has a designer.
