AHS lays off 100 employees and cancels 300 jobs that were to be filled. Guess the license plate may be to distract from that and the report.


Some say Unions are next but to say this wont affect the front line is BS. But with CPSM (contracts) layoffs there will be less oversight.

About time AHS trims. The HR and IT groups there are bloated. Focus on admin and these groups. Support front line.

It's devious, really.

In an industry where morale and efficiency are the greatest concerns, axing human resources, administration, and technical support is the best approach when your goal is to dismantle the foundation and public trust of the current healthcare system.

Just sell it as "supporting front line" workers and cutting "bloat".

I know quite a few people in both groups who "work from home" but spend good chunks of day running personal errands and telling people the lack of work.

I spend my whole life looking for jobs like these, and now somebody comes running up to tell me about them, after they are cut out of existence.

Alberta's government says it has received a final report Wednesday from the investigation into allegations of corruption over health contracts, but it won't be immediately released.

I know quite a few people who were paid by the government to design new license plates in the midst of a healthcare scandal and a teacher strike. They spend good chunks of the day putting in separatist slogans using the default Arial font on cheesy backdrops. I’m convinced that they fully exemplify a non-bloated, totally fiscally responsible public service.

Eventually a couple of expansion teams will be added which will nestle the Oilers into 16th.
