Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approach signals a new approach: clarity over clutter, flexibility over prescription. It’s an invitation to lead — and a test of who can.
government employees still lag in returning to physical workplaces
‘Lag’. That’s funny. One of my day contracts is to a gov entity, and it’s 100% remote work. They CAN’T go back, as their workforce spread out so far (hint: low rent but great internet) that a RTO means 30% loss of workforce if everyone who can actually returns. There’s no desks. There’s no equipment because everyone uses their much-better stuff that hasn’t died since CoViD. They can’t outfit staff.

It’s comedy.
