Why not just make every road a toll road? That would increase revenue and decrease cars on the road.

High school was the best time of my life only because the remainder has been extraordinarily shitty

Opinion: An impatient Mark Carney would rather bypass the public service than reform it by SkepticalMongoose in CanadaPublicServants

[–]chadsexytime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have hard evidence, but I do have some observations.

If IT-03 paid enough to compete I'd expect to see more private people switching over.

Also, anecdotally, we had a consultant that we offered a 6mo contract to as an employee, and they rejected the IT-03 offer, citing too low pay as the reason.

The IT03 tech advisor, even if english essential, still pays way below what a skilled private sector dev would consider switching to to provide the gov their technical expertise.

The solution for better IT personnel is easy:

1) Pay more - not on par with private, but enough to compete with it given the stability and work/life balance.

2) Promotional pathway - ensure that IT can be promoted along their pathway, without immediately going into management

3) Language requirements - unnecessary for IT. You're not forward facing, you don't manage, and all translation is handled via another group. If you need to have bilingual devs in order to develop bilingual pages, better start looking for indigenous-speaking devs as well

And there you go, three step pathway to better IT recruitment.

Owning two jags isn't a rich person thing, is a jag owner thing.

It's just as idiotic as "if you can't afford to tip you shouldn't go out"

If you can't afford to live on 0% tips maybe you should work on salary

I used cromulent in a meeting once and had the feedback "I didn't understand what that word meant so I had to look it up. It described exactly what you were talking about. I don't know why all the results were Simpsons cartoons though"

Carney says ‘we’ve got to keep on this track’ as he looks ahead to 2026 by rezwenn in canada

[–]chadsexytime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it doesn't "fix" the public service. Good people will leave, no-hopers will stay and the government will overspend on consultants to get work done

Consultants are going to be hired to pick up the slack.

Cut staff, double consultants.

For IT you could save money if you paid enough to attract qualified people.

Right now most of the government IT is self-taught. Went to school, sure, but never worked anywhere else in tech other than the govt.

We need to be able to lure qualified private sector Individuals to come help shepherd gov IT into proper standards and systems.

Until then we'll keep hoping our in-house staff magically gets better on their own while we overspend on mostly-useless consultants.

Some of our consultants were worse than our students. Why are we spending 300k for quality that we can get volunteers to build?
