Default CBC has 1143 EXECUTIVES!!!

https://torontosun.com/opinion/colum...-in-bonus-mess




Quote:
Documents released to the CTF through access to information showed that 1,143 CBC executives split a bonus pot of $14.9 million, which meant an average bonus of just over $13,000 each.

Now how is this possible given Canadian media struggling and the Liberals pouring cash on them?

If only we could tell how much these 1143 gave in Liberal donations over the past year!

Something smells fishy in the liberal patronage party.

Hopefully the people who put Heartland on the air got a big share of that because it's the only thing CBC has put on TV in the past 10 years that is worth watching.

I'll admit that I used to listen to CBC radio a lot but that also changed long ago. Vinyl Tap with Randy Bachman was a great show but the CBC ditched him. Too white and too male I suppose. Madly Off in All Directions and a bunch of other shows were very entertaining but no longer fit the narrative. There's nothing but doom, gloom, and tales of oppression on CBC radio now.

Imagine being taxed by force, and then that money is given out to CBC executives as bonuses? That to me is beyond belief!! It's criminal and should never happen, vote Liberal or Liberal Lite and this is the garbage that goes on.

Yup, along with taxing a tax. GST on a Carbon Tax. Fxxx. Had this happened in 1800 during French Revolution with Napoleon. To deter the aggressor. Heads would be mounted on spikes.
Humans not barbaric anymore. Maybe it is the water treatment….l

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/wha...at-bonus-money

$114 million in Bonuses paid out since 2015.

For a government charity whose business model is public handouts… how do they justify bonuses? Even worse… the money could have been used to help develop new income sources to wean off the government teat.

Crazy

CBC has approximately 6500 employees country wide, take away exec numbers, that leaves 5350. That means they average less than 4.7 employees per executive/Snr manager. Talk about MASSIVELY top heavy. We already knew CBC is a total waste of money, but PP really needs to defund this endless money pit as soon as he gets into office.

This problem isn't unique to the CBC. Lots of corporations and govts are run this way these days. Too many chiefs....

Good luck he will snuggle right in there and use them accordingly to support his agenda.



At least we will have a new snake at the helm....maybe

Unlike some people, he likely knows that the CBC will not support a conservative government, they were a huge factor in getting Trudeau elected, even though the conservatives were in power. A conservative PM would have to be a fool to think that he can trust the CBC to support the conservatives.

If you were paying attention, you would see that other provinces, Saskatchewan in particular , are also starting to stand up against Trudeau and his mafia. Trudeau threatening to arrest Moe , should be the most obvious sign of this. As well, multiple other provinces are
standing up against the carbon tax, so the resistance is
growing. Not everyone in Canada is as accepting of Trudeau's corruption, and the CBCs role in promoting liberal propaganda as you are, some actually are standing up against it.

I would say that that is pretty typical of any public service union.

The larger the organization gets, the more union dues they receive. Unions have become big businesses, they are no longer about fighting for the workers.

Sounds a lot like Russia these days around here. Arrest and eliminate the opposition.

Haha! So true.

But that's the thing... How do you incentivize your workers, especially the ones who want to move up? At one place that I worked at, there were so many "lead" positions, but they were only one person doing all of the work. The title upgrade was so that a person could at least qualify for a pay increase. But in a properly-run organization, management is kept to a practical level.

Zig Zieglar always said, "I'll see you at the top", but I don't recall if he ever mentioned the fact that there's very little room up there.

But what would we ever do without the CBC....

Women drive a lot of vehicle purchases. So why is there still nowhere to store a purse?
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/costoflivin...rses-1.7143005

And then the article goes on to complain about male dominated design. Oh, and how EV's will revolutional this age old monumental problem....lol. And how a poor woman tore her rotator cuff trying to store her purse in a car: "And I swear I tore my rotator cuff doing that for so many years."
Your tax money is paying this CBC reporters salary.

I’m surprise the word women is still acceptable to the CBC editors!
