  1. Awful just awful. Never like to see people lose their jobs, especially at this time.

    I just hope they are able to bounce back stronger.

    Bruce Fanjoy is stepping down over this right? Considering he ran on fearmongering that Pierre was going to cut federal jobs

    > The government said it’s trying to boost the rate of attrition and avoid cutting younger workers by offering a voluntary program allowing workers to retire earlier without incurring a pension penalty.

    This seems like a very artifical way to inflate the employment numbers and seems to save expenses now but increases them later.

  4. A bad morale leads to worse work overall and more challenging recruitment down the road. I really hate that the conservatives won the election. We’re going to feel this in a few years.
