^ I was referring to our minister of employment telling people to go move to BC until things improve.
In my case, my bosses took similar percentage hits. The bonus structure was suspended from top to bottom.
As to the rest, we agree that streamlining the public service is critically important. But like it or not, we're not going turn this bloated budget around until public sector salaries and benefits begin to align more closely with the private sector and/or other provinces. Problem is, I have no faith at all in Notley's ability or willingness to do that. She's just going to kick that can down the road and leave it as a grenade for her successor to deal with.
