The layoffs going on at the CBC are being refereed to as workforce adjustment by the mandarins. More managers less pesky full time employees who demand benefits. Let's just cycle folks through contract after contract. Quick more champagne for the upper management "On a faxed note, Stursberg's executive assistant, Cathy Katrib Reyes, writes, "Please be sure not to mention the champagne toast to anyone!!!"" http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/MediaNews/2009/04/22/9200261-sun.html Sounds like they're taking a page out of the CBC mangement playbook.

And since the paper is already cutting staff, it's unlikely to be hiring anyone new soon.
