1/5 Qu’il s’agisse d’un commentaire sexualisé, d’un attouchement, ou d’un geste physique intimidant visant à vous mettre « à votre place », il est impossible pour vous d’enregistrer ce qui se passe la première fois que ça arrive. #16Jours
2/5 C’est un mélange toxique d’humiliation, de peur, de choc et de désir de vous enfuir. Peut-être : vous dites quelque chose ; vous les repoussez ; vous vous éloignez ; vous faites semblant de rire. Peu importe votre réaction, vous comprenez à quel point vous êtes vulnérable.
3/5 Vous vous réveillez avec cette compréhension, & elle vous accompagne toute la journée. Peu importe votre travail, votre genre, votre rang, votre état civil, votre origine ethnique, votre orientation sexuelle, ce que vous portez ou votre force physique. La peur est toujours là
4/5 Si vous n’avez jamais fait l’expérience de ce comportement, alors je suis content pour vous. Personne ne devrait avoir à ressentir cela. Mais essayez de comprendre que vous travaillez avec des gens qui portent cette peur en eux tous les jours.
5/5 Vous pouvez choisir d’aider à assurer un milieu de travail de confiance, de sécurité et de respect, ou non. Mais quoi que vous fassiez, comprenez que vous ne pouvez pas être neutre et que votre action, ou que ou votre absence d’action, a des répercussions. #16Jours

1/5 Whether it’s a sexualized comment, a grope, or an intimidating physical gesture meant to put you “in your place”, you can’t even process what’s occurring the first time it happens to you. #16Days
2/5 You’re in a toxic stew of humiliation, fear, shock and the desire to get away. And maybe you say something, or push them away, or just walk away, or pretend to laugh it off. But however you react, you now understand how vulnerable you are.
3/5 You wake up with that understanding, and you carry it with you all day. That’s regardless of your job, gender, rank, relationship status, ethnicity, sexuality, what you’re wearing, or how physically strong you are. The fear is always there.

1/6 Merci aux parents de l’#ÉquipeDéfense de leur franchise lors d’une conversation pénible mais nécessaire que nous avons eue cette semaine sur la gestion du travail, des enfants et de la COVID. Certains vont bien, d’autres ressentent du stress, mais tous font de leur mieux.
2/6 Nous avons parlé de la culpabilité qu’ils ressentent, de leurs craintes liés à la sécurité d’emploi, des frictions qui surviennent à la maison et au travail, de la solitude qu’entraîne le télétravail et de ce que nous pouvons faire pour prendre soin de nous.
3/6 Nous avons aussi abordé la question des tâches essentielles et secondaires. De mon point de vue, une tâche est essentielle lorsqu’elle est indispensable à la poursuite des opérations ou à la sécurité, ou lorsque la loi nous oblige à la faire.

1/6 So thankful for the honest feedback this week from parents in our #DefenceTeam. We had a hard but necessary conversation about navigating work, kids and COVID. Some felt reasonably ok. Others felt highly stressed. Everyone is doing their best.
2/6 We talked about parental guilt. About job security fears. About the different frictions occurring at home, work or both. About the loneliness of working remotely. And what we can do to take care of ourselves.
3/6 We also talked about critical tasks vs. nice-to-haves. From my perspective, a critical task is something necessary for operational continuity, for safety and security, or something we are legislatively required to do.

1/7 Friday Update: We knew business resumption wouldn’t be straightforward and we were right. We’re starting to see more return-to-workplace questions that fit in to the “case-by-case decision” category. That’s ok.
2/7 To managers or employees having difficulty with decisions or next steps for business resumption within your team—support and guidance is available. Seeking advice is especially important if you are a CAF member who manages civilians.
3/7 But the first step should always be discussions between employees and managers. If you can’t reach a solution, the HR GO RH App, HR Connect, local union reps, and Labour Relations advisors are there to support.

1/12 Friday #DefenceTeam update: Last weekend was certainly unusual and a little tough. That said, Canada came together to help stop the #COVID19 spread and that’s something to be really proud of. Nice to know that families can still be families via video call.
2/12 We can be realistic about what’s happening and still kind to ourselves and others. Purpose helps. Especially knowing that the #DefenceTeam has a role to play in this fight.
3/12 And that we’re making a difference. Public health officials say Canadians’ efforts are working. The Defence Team is helping accomplish that outcome from our different postures, with our different contributions.

1/8 #DefenceTeam update: Week four of pandemic footing. COVID-19 response work and coordination with OGDs continues to consume the days. Grateful to Defence Team members ensuring critical business activities continue in the midst of this crisis.
2/8 Critical activities like year-end. Big shout-out to the ADM (FIN) team and Defence Team Comptrollers working to finish-up the 2019-2020 numbers. Always a massive job, but this year’s circumstances make it more logistically complex.
3/8 Agree with sentiments of the Clerk of @PrivyCouncilCA: DND civilians, your contributions matter, whether at home or on-site, whether busy with work, or busy staying healthy. We need you, and we need you to keep doing what you’re doing.
