Why do they need their current level of employees. Maybe they need to downsize of service is being cut.

[–] GodofLies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Sure, I think we can agree they have lots of employees. What do each of them do? Now, why can't we have other kinds of jobs for workers instead of straight up layoffs? I'm saying going straight to downsize is the easy solution because no one in upper management etc wants to develop new businesses that CP can do and service and still make money!! Are some jobs obsolete and outdated? Very likely. Is there a lot of redundancy? I'm sure every government run entity has it. Now who made the shots of hiring more and more? Management. Why aren't they the first to go? Why is the onus on lower level employees?

We can let people go, eliminate jobs all we want about a shrinking business model because they (management) didn't pivot or come up with new models to effectively retain cost-neutral/profitability. What isn't the government and CP saying instead of going straight to cuts? Show us what they tried to get out of this deficit. Well turns out from all the reporting, they did very little and the private sector took their lunch. What a disaster.

Postage services can be so much more, they just aren't willing to try. Why can't they do basic banking? Financialization. They had the opportunity to but chose not to because they're dinosaurs with outdated business models. Be a storage depot / warehouse for small businesses. I'm just throwing ideas out there.
