But the "vast majority" of the workforce does a good job day in and day out.

Nobody cares.<br />The extra management have you ever figured out that our workforce would be a lot more productive if they had more management pushing them. Nobody cares Dean, all these whiners need to suck it up. <br /><br />James<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-47437395317159546392012-09-11T20:12:54.807-06:002012-09-11T20:12:54.807-06:00There appears to be lack of oxygen at the top.

We should not be left behind Fort McMurray and Calgary in the fees department. We should have a safety codes department with proper staffing levels.

This new information shouldn't come as any surprise to those in the Pass with a working brain. Sadly with the current council, arrogance is matched with ignorance of sound fiscal policy. Visions of growth? Not a chance in hell that this group will find their way out of a paper bag let alone give the Pass<br />hope for the future. Let the campaign begin to forge a new future!
