To expand upon the issue with SSC's implementation, a personal anecdote from the base I worked on at the time. We had a telephony section to do installation, maintenance, and administration of all phones and switchboards on the base. When SSC took over, that section was shut down and replaced with civilians working directly under SSC. No problem with those guys, they were great. The problem was that SSC refused to give them anything to accomplish their tasks. No tools. No money to procure tools. No vehicle. Certainly no money to procure a vehicle. DND had to provide them with everything they needed to fulfill their mandate (which was beyond just the base), because an executive more than 1000km away was making a bonus by giving them nothing. Arivia posted:ZShakespeare can't probe over there. And frankly, asking the IK to keep out people we know are idiots from other threads has been something a lot of people who post in this thread want to happen in general, so I don't think ZShakespeare jumped the gun here. It was a good shoot, even if it didn't look like one immediately.

The problem was that SSC refused to give them anything to accomplish their tasks. I think this is misrepresentating the issue a bit. There aren’t execs in the feds making 100k bonuses outside of maybe a handful of DMs, which are very senior bureaucrats & politically impacted appointments. The issue is that SSC was created with an intentional underfunding and has been on the back foot since then. The money didn’t get to service delivery because the money wasn’t there. That funding decision was political, not driven by the execs in the public service. That’s not to say there weren’t also real operational issues unrelated to funding. In particular culture in GC isn’t great around accountability and SSC is no different there.

That funding decision was political, not driven by the execs in the public service. Combined with broader figures like "Between 88 and 91 per cent of executives received bonuses between 2015 and 2022" and "of 2,393 fulfilled performance indicators, only 1,361 met established targets", and I feel the picture I've painted is fairly accurate. We have a problem with tying executive bonuses to nebulous standards that clearly don't involve succeeding at the tasks they're responsible for.

ZShakespeare posted:Y’all practically BEGGED me to get rid of the last one. I should let the next one go wild. For what it's worth I think we should wait and see how someone behaves in this thread before smacking them with the 6er. CSPAM is a weird and strange place, and the posting is different there. That said, an incredibly short leash, no benefit of the doubt approach with someone with lovely posting elsewhere is absolutely warranted.

Newspapers were never supposed to make money they're mouth pieces for the rich and have only failed because the rich have found its a lot easier to sway public opinion through other mediums. Journalists decrying the death of journalism never seemed to have figured this out though.

I hope that our next Prime Minister is fabulously gay and that Trump gets elected and they both have to attend state functions where they have to pretend to like each other and that CBC makes a sitcom about it.

When is our next federal election so I can cast my vote into the void and watch as our country decides that Milhouse is the best candidate because we're actually racist as gently caress and deserve nuclear annihilation. Wait, the Conservatives are still xenophobic nutjobs, right? I've lost track of how vile each right wing party is in Canada.

Like, it's rich to me that the majority of conservatives that call men effeminate as an insult, are rarely examples of their ideal masculinity themselves.
