As much as I like the cbc, the upper management should not be handing out bonuses while workers are being laid off.
Some of these bonuses are part of the performance evaluation they already signed on and whether they met these objectives or not. You can't really go back on an agreement made before the cuts.
That should be good news to the staff being let go. Pretty sure they had agreements too.
Most of those initial job cuts before the funding issue was fixed were vacant positions that were abolished and not fulfilled, which were already budgeted for.
That's not how bonuses work.
This move was greedy on the part of management in the CBC and they should better structure their compensation.
CBC do great work keeping the record straight, but nearly all upper management in the workforce today comes from the same crop of people who learned their trade from Jack Welch.
MBA-powered ghouls who took lessons from the guy who ran General Electric into the ground and made himself massively rich in the short term off its zombified corpse, at the consequence of lives and livelihoods.
Which is funny, because these types--Welch-style managers--are exactly Pierre's people.
You'd think he'd be in favour of wealthy upper taking bonuses while the workers are ground into paste.
That's only for private, money making companies.
No, they're happy to pay their friends from the public purse, too. They're just not also above throwing those friends under the bus when they think it's politically advantageous.
Especially if they were someone else's friend.
They aren't kissing his ass, or harper's as, or even the specific asses of the correct Conservative donors. That or they went to the wrong school...
CBC abuses it's funding.
CBC loses funding.
And somehow step 3 is supposed to be CBC suddenly becomes responsible and doesn't cut more jobs and sell out journalistic integrity for a quick buck or collapse and become a foreign media outlet?
Please show your proof that CBC abused its funding.
I'll wait.
