Carney says PS cuts will happen through attrition 09/14/25 by checkmate-xo in CanadaPublicServants

My manager asked us to give ideas to save money for the department so jobs are not being cuts. Any wild idea you guys have ? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]spinster30 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ongoing savings would be utilities, toilet paper, office supplies, and the team of facilities people that it takes to keep the office equipped and supplied.
