Just not those that directly deal with the public. It sucks having to wait to speak to a service Canada agent and get an issue resolved.

Genuinely feel for those laid off. Job market is brutal, and it is going to get even worse.

Regardless of how one may feel about the federal government, being laid off when it’s not a performance issue fucking sucks point blank period. Especially being laid off in the current job market.

I’m so fucking sick of the hate directed at fellow Canadians that happen to work in the public service. Why cant these brain dead people understand that more unemployed people in Canada is a bad thing regardless of who they work for?
All you petty children are what’s wrong with our country, why would you wish ill will towards a fellow Canadian? Disgusting.

Cons: pro unemployment.
Next let’s cancel those oil and gas subsidies and the farmers with their handouts.

Waited 2 hrs to talk to a senior CRA agent as I needed to be escalated and oh god, I swear it was a senior citizen agent. Felt like I was talking to Hector Salamanca with the little ping ping of the bell to spell out letters. At the end of it I figured, if this guy retired I’d have to wait LONGER so maybe I should just be thankful.
Month later my CRA issue still remains and requires me to call in again because he didn’t do it properly… FML.

I thought the job reduction over the next 5 years was going to be mostly through attrition.

Can they even afford to lay then off? Thought the public sector was the main factor to prop up the employment numbers.

I remember when the public service went on strike and PS workers said the country was going to shut down yet everyone just went on living- situation no change.

PP must be seething… another thing they’ll have to spin as “stealing my idea” or “not soon enough” or “but he campaigned on, er…”
They have nothing. He should resign.

If you thought it was bad, you just wait and see how worse getting any service is going to become.

I’m 48f. I was passed over two promotions in management positions in professional public sector technical fields. Two jobs, each were given to two individuals in their mid 20s who only graduated a few years ago. I’ve silently run the team, yet I assumed was passed over as I would be too expensive in the “manager” role. I guess this is the r way the cookie crumbles. I I find out today I’m expect a layoff before end of year as I’m too expensive.

PM Carney is an Ottawa area MP. I sure hope he’s got an explanation for constituents.

The reality is that the gouvernement had gotten too big. It’s become unproductive. How do we have double the number of fed employees compared to the US who have 400 million people. Like it doesn’t make sense. Yes the US has a lot of fed programs as well they are just different.

Let’s keep in mind Trudeau hired about 110,000 fed employees during his tenure which was an increase of about 40% over a period where the population increased about 15%. Carney should cut 5,000 per year for the rest of his term.

Plenty of friends in the senior public service. They know who needs to go. It not about attrition anymore it’s performance.

* Canada’s federal public service grew by over 40% from 2015 to 2024, significantly outpacing population growth.
* **Cost to Taxpayers:** This growth adds billions in wages, increasing spending and debt, with some estimating $10 billion in potential annual savings if growth matched population.
