Her delegated authority stems from Council, and they are looking at a policy that may do more harm to the corporation. That's exactly what a Council should do, review and rescind poor policymaking

Leiper's motion is acceptable too. Council can remove this specific item from the City Manager's delegated authority because they're unsatisfied with her decision, as any nonprofit board, council or band council can do. It's part of their jobs

Councillor Bradley had a motion last week for more evidence.

So, yeah, I don't care about some abstracted governance arguments or employee/employer relationships nonsense. I've sat on enough boards, worked in nonprofit, private, public sector and Crown Corporations, I can't tell what your aim is, but it's not entirely good faith

retention or could cause harm, the board, Council, band council can review a policy. RTO has demonstrably caused attrition in businesses and govt implementing it, and if Leiper and others are concerned with retention (and have heard from their communities) then they're doing their due diligence

If the City Manager made a poor argument to Council on a matter of policy, Council is well within their rights to review and even rescind the decision. It's normal for a lot of governance structures, like nonprofits, that if an ED or City Manager make decisions that negatively impact employee -

Management has failed to justify their decision to Council, and thus the decision is being evaluated. The arguments I presented are easily searched and bolstered by fact. What's your argument beyond "but but but management said so"?

The bulk of the research tells us that RTO creates a greater schism and mistrust of leadership, and poor workplace culture, whereas hybrid arrangements are seen with significantly better eyes from employees.

If you want to see City services worsen, push employees in this direction

The reality is that RTO mandates cost people between 5 to 10% of their wages altogether in commutes, food and time. It's essentially a tax on people, and more challenging for families who's childcare and/or afterschool arrangements are not set.

I say this as a City employee really, deeply crestfallen at the surprise shift from 2 days in office to 5 days, I'm very thankful for the councilors I've reached out to on my personal time advocating for us!

A RTO would be a pay cut for me, either buying/leasing a car or increased transit use

Not gonna lie, this is the page that made me stop and walk away from the book

My reasoning is that I don't think Waid's writing for Kon or Kenan was exceptionally strong or nuanced, and so this page just felt very uncharitable to me, honestly

You dumb him down and now you've got him as the lazy Superman lesson of the day?

I have area rugs and furniture and no one to talk about it with

Who do I tell that I learned how to make stuffed grape leaves?!
