Pros: The work-life balance here is generally good for scientific research in a government agency. I usually stick to my 40-hour weeks, which is solid. Hybrid work options help a lot, especially for those of us in the Saskatoon office.
Cons: Sometimes there's pressure to take on extra R&D projects, which can push hours up. It's not always easy to truly disconnect outside of work. The workload for senior research roles can get heavy at times.
Advice to Management: Try to ensure consistent workloads across all research teams, even with tight project deadlines. Support disconnecting more from work.
