The federal government says there may not be enough room in some offices for all workers as the public service prepares to return to the office four days a week starting July 6.
Civil servants currently only have to come into the office three days a week — a rule that was put in place in September 2024 as government employees were for the most part working remotely in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier this month, the federal government announced it expects employees who haven’t done so already to return to in-office work for a minimum of four days a week starting this July. Government executives will be expected in the office five days.
In a French-language statement emailed this week to Radio-Canada, the Treasury Board of Canada said that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) will work closely with organizations to ensure “adequate office space” is available for staff.
There is an underlying issue here that corporate doesn’t really do landlords as a separate entity. These properties have been considered safe investments for decades, if this market collapses thousands of billions of corporate asset will have to be depreciated. Not to mention whole industries that hinge on people actually going to an office.
It’s a global case of dismissing objective reality and forcing luddite policies because unfathomable amounts of assets have been exposed to be factually near pointless and valueless.
“Back to office” orders are a move of the global oligarchy to protect their assets and should be seen as an attack on the populace, an attempt to continue stealing from us just as before.
