Do the CWB Payrolled Deserve a Christmas Party?

[booboo04]

I don't know about Sasktel, SGI, etc. But at the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority (SWA) our social club pays for all functions including Xmas parties. I put in a few dollars and the SWA matches it. No big free parties here.

yeah, a nice supper and an evening with friends. Works out to less than a $1/week.

I worked for the Sask government for many years. We paid for our own Christmas party through our social fund. Taxpayer paid zippo.

Regarding the CWB I am not opposed to a modest Christmas party for staff and spouses. It's a drop in the bucket.
I am deathly opposed to $1000 stress payments. That was criminal!

This is a tough decision. I am a councillor in a village in Sask. Our water guy is so stupid he can barely draw a breath. He is a shining example of incompetence. No exaggerations. We need to fire him, yet nobody has the courage to do it for fear of no replacement. November council meeting we paid out the Christmas bonuses which I objected to his because he provides no value. He thanked us by leaving town when the power was out, system depressurization and a boil water order. It makes me want to puke, we reward people for doing a bad job and incompetence. Its really sad, its happening everywhere and costing billions.

I think for famers to worry whether or not the CWB has
a staff christmas party is a little much. If they fly the
whole staff to Hawaii then I would have a problem but
a party in Winnipeg seems more than reasonable.

New low, established on Angriville. DON'T ALLOW THE ENEMY (CWB) A CHRISTMAS PARTY! You sound like Dick Cheney, when you say garbage like this!

Sure they should have a christmas party Burbet they gave away our wheat to the world at the lowest price possible just like their motto and mandate requires...
