NEW: A public servant got a bizarre voicemail after complaining about Ontario’s return to work policy

The voice was unmistakable: Doug Ford

Ford shared advice passed down from his mom: “You don’t like it, go get another job”

And then he hung up

Worked with the great @emmaarkell.bsky.social on this story.

Doug Ford responded to a text message from a public servant about the return to office mandate with a voice mail suggesting they find another job.

The Premier's Office did not respond to our multiple requests for comment.

Listen to the voicemail that Doug Ford left for an Ontario public servant after they texted the premier with concerns about the return to office mandate.

Ford relays some advice from his mother: "you don't like it, go get another job."
