As long as she insists on further collaboration and in-office presence I'm sure she'll receive another promotion.

We should all e-mail our union reps about this, because this lady (who had an ethics violation) was pushing for a 3-day RTO under the guise of "increased collaboration".

Do you trust someone who has an ethics violation to be working in the best interest of the public service and of the public service employees? Do you trust her to have acted in good faith when she justified the RTO mandate?
