u know, back in 2017 when there were labour issues w/ the faculty & the college employers, i def remember getting regular email updates leading up 2 and during the strike itself and yet this time there's been? nothing? idk i got all of 1 email (from the college, with an "faq" attached that gradually got more obviously biased against the profs) back when the work to rule action started, but nothing since then. im looking at the opseu site now and yh tbf i couldve been checking it 4 updates myself since i see there's been regular ones but ig no 1 passed it along? idk just seems a lil odd compared 2 the experience in 2017

anyways guess whose instructors might go on strike on friday 🙃

#obvsly full support 2 the faculty i hope this works out in their favour regardless of what that takes even if its a strike #but man i hope it doesnt come 2 that #feels like shitty timing given we're two thirds of the way thru the term but apparently setting the deadline for now means management cant #lock them out w/o pay for a prolonged period after they submit grades so. thats fair #ah well ive already fucked this term up so bad for myself this may as well happen too #i hate college #back in 2017 the strike lasted 5 weeks and they were legislated back 2 work (blegh) so uhh hopefully this goes better!#if they do go on strike and it lasts for any real length of time idek whatll happen for the rest of the term #i imagine theyd extend the term if possible? kinda fucks up the timing of subsequent terms but like #how tf would u send students ''back'' (we're still online lol but u know what i mean) right before final exams like what a nightmare #i mean we're all gonna fail anyways bc we're being forced 2 write in person&on campus&on paper (!!!!!) for the first time and no 1 is ready #esp after 3 terms of open book Brightspace multiple choice/true+false/multi-selection/etc exams #during an appointment w/ my CAL counselor she was v sympathetic abt this whole in person exam thing lol #she'd already heard about it and called it a ''gong show'' and has no idea why they were forcing this.#i dont think this a blanket thing for the college either might just be our program/programs in the IT school :///#god wtf are they doing for lab exams?????? sure as shit no 1 wants 2 write code on PAPER and no way any1 wants 2 have 2 grade that shit jfc #ok wait just remembered my software dev course prototype 2 demo presentation is next week nvm all this go on strike pls 🙏 /jk #ur all so lucky im 1 of those ppl who just rambles 4ever in the tags of 1 or 2 posts instead of making a million individual posts #can u tell im feeling a teensy bit starved socially. not that i ramble like this in person lol well i do at home but i just get ignored
