Work: we need people like you in public service who can be a true generalist, identify pain points and improve processes

Also work: you have not received a raise in 4 years despite massive inflation and you will like it

How do you not receive a raise in four years and stay working there? That's a crazy long time to just not do anything about a major issue.

Sounds over due, I hope you do (not offense intended)

What job do you have? Are you unionized?

funny

Sure. Then where is your union? Where is your collective action to get an annual raise? I've never heard of a union being so... complacent? Malfeasant? Useless.... etc.

Haha this is exactly my firm

Be an expert at everything, but not enough of one to get paid for it. Definitely feels familiar.

This is why I refuse to go in house.

I've been in-house for 12 years and I've never heard of going 1 year without a raise, let alone 4. That's insane.

Guys, he clearly said he’s in public service. His salary increase would be governed by his union contract.

First of all, not all public service workers are in a union. Second, he replied that he was unionized 14 hours ago. These other comments are days old. Nobody knew he was unionized prior to commenting. He did not clearly say he was unionized...

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion. Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion. Judge didn’t care, as soon as she heard him say we hadn’t conferred she denied the motion. Not asking a question, just needed to vent.
