Remote work about to end for thousands of employees

Time to put away the boomer mentality and get with the times. Hybrid work arrangements are proven to be better for both the employee and employer.

This was implemented as an emergency response to covid. The risk has been gone for a long time. Everyone should be back into the workplace.

‘Pretty intense’: Quick-thinking dad pulls driver from flaming wreck on Hwy. 400

This isnt local news. If I wanted this kind of news I can go to other various sites for that.

it's about time! I had to deal with service Ontario in the south, and found that 50% of those i spoke with were absolutely useless. Drag them back into an office where their lack of work ethic can come under scrutiny. Not helpful in any way. Totally different than the face to face interactions here in the Sault which have always been great.

Thanks for the comment, and for visiting our site. I appreciate it. The vast majority of our stories are hyper local. Our extensive coverage of today's snowstorm is a prime example. But sometimes we publish relevant articles from our partner sites across the province. This one, from BarrieToday, is about an Ontario man who went above and beyond to save a person on a stretch of highway that plenty of Saultites drive on every year. And our network (Village Media) was the only one to cover this story, so you couldn't go to various other sites to read about it. Again, I appreciate your feedback. Bottom line: our news site covers all the important stories happening in the Sault — and some stories outside the Sault that resonate with people here. This one definitely fits the bill: a story about an ordinary Ontarian doing something heroic.

Carney minister says ‘people have been loud and clear’ about crime concerns

How many of these crimes are a result of the failed immigration policy. There needs to be a law that if you commit crimes in this country and you are not a citizen, you get sent back.

Just because some people can't do remote work, EG, they directly serve the public, doesn't mean we should punish everyone by forcing them back to work in crowded conditions with lots of distractions. The people I know who work remotely are far more productive at home because they're not constantly being interrupted and aren't squished into a tiny space with several/many other people. It's obnoxious to force people back to work then obligate them to sit through zoom meetings in an uncomfortable, tiny cubicle. Remote work gives parents more flexibility. My spouse & I both worked & it was hard for our kids when they had to go to daycare then school then back to daycare. Getting rid of even one transition vastly improves quality of life for young families. And no, it doesn't mean that workers will be less productive or working a shorter day. If there's a performance problem, the person will be a problem regardless. Address the performance issues and give employees more flexibility.

He’s an embarrassment. Another useless NDP. Completely irrelevant as an MP, and even more so now.

Wow, really. Feeling entitled much. How about the people who have probably been waiting for their doctor's appointments for months, and now have to reschedule. Or those who depend on the soup kitchen.

Is that the only reason you have that employers should not be allowing hybrid work arrangements? Did you know for most of us, 96% of our work is done digitally, regardless of being in office or wfh. Did you also know that most government workers are not forward facing.

They are/were paid to go to work at a specific location when hired..... so do so! The pandemic is long past. If employees find this now an issue to attend their assigned work station, then time to find another employer who will accommodate working at home.

He helped destroy this country! He’s still trying to be relevant! I ran into him in Sudbury and told him he’s not … his answer “ I don’t care”
