Merit Appeals Board October 30, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: And I think the minutes from the last meeting, when they’re published, will <br />reflect that request. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. Going back to the content of the draft of the memo—Communication <br />number 25-07.02—there were just two things that I just wanted to bring to everyone’s attention. <br /> <br />On Page 2 of 2, Number (2)—I think it’s just a little typo. there. The second sentence, where it <br />says “Professional”—I think that should be a lower case “p.” <br /> <br />MS. BOND: So, you’re actually in the white tab still? <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Back in the white tab. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Yeah. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Should be a lower case “p,” right? Yeah? <br /> <br />And then, and just for clarification because I don’t want any—how should I word it—negative <br />interpretation—I’m just going to ask you, Sommer, on page— <br /> <br />MS. YAMADA: I mis-numbered the pages, they’re all “Page 2 of 2.” <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, so let’s re-number it. So, Page 1; “Page 2 of 2”; “Page 3 of…”— <br /> <br />MS. BOND: No, but should be “Page 3 of…”— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Page 3—I don’t know what the total is. So, page 3, page 4, page 5, page 6— <br />I didn’t catch that either—page 6—page 7 is where I want to stop for a minute, page7 talks about <br />recruitment. It’s under Number 5—yeah, Number 5, major challenges—and then it lists each <br />division—page 5 is on page 6—“What major challenges does the department/agency face?”— <br />and she broke it down really well what each division faces. <br /> <br />So, on page 7, she focuses on “Health and Safety”—Number 2; “Collective Bargaining”— <br />Number 3; and then “Recruitment,” Number 4. Okay, under “Recruitment” the second <br />paragraph, it talks about “Today’s workforce prioritizes flexibility, work-life balance, and <br />growth opportunities. The pace of government processes and policy implementation often <br />cannot keep up with these evolving expectations, creating a competitive disadvantage in hiring. <br />At the same time”—and it’s this part now—“At the same time, economic conditions and political <br />priorities”—that’s what I highlighted. <br /> <br />What do you mean by “political priorities” because I don’t want that—I don’t think we should, <br />as a group, that could be subject to some sort of negative— <br /> <br />Page 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
