And the award for the most tone deaf SVP goes to..

The great soon to retire SVP and his “Ending 2020 on a high note”.

This SVP gets to retire with millions of dollars and a $600k retention bonus while the average employee is laid off (2,000+) into the worst job market ever. But hey at least the SVPs are all good, so I suppose in that way it’s a high note. This would be the same SVP who tried to get us all to vote for the Olympics to come to Calgary and failed on that tone deaf measure as well.

Well we all worked super safe in 2020 and as a reward employees get their bonus reduced, he gets his increased, he gets to retire with millions, employees get laid off. That’s a high note no doubt.

But I’m sure this SVP is torn up inside with the difficult decisions about to be made on which employees get laid off. Luckily he can take his piles of cash and that should help him get over it.

Working under Alex Pourbaix would be a wet nightmare come true. No thanks. Being unemployed will give me time to enjoy the things I enjoy, working with Alex the goofball would be the opposite. Good luck bonehead, you're going to need it!

The gift of unemployment came for me last week, what a jolly time of year. Glad to be rid of the place.

Al looks like an evil Santa Claus. For Christmas he’s giving people the gift of unemployment.

Hey look it’s not just our mgmt that are like this. I wonder do you have to leave your morals behind once you hit VP and above?

Shaw Communications raised bonuses for most of its top executives in a year in which it also laid off employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. For three of the four executives, the bonus payment jumped by nearly $100,000 from the year prior.

Well he didn’t write it did he? It’s the tone deaf comms leader and the tone deaf team that works for that leader who got also promoted and probably also got a huge undisclosed retention bonus. We’re in such good hands.
