    EDIT: I thought you said they were "culling" anglophones. That would be normal if the company's new structure involves regular communication in French...
    There was no new structure, just new Francophone management. They "laid off" almost everyone in Toronto and hired Francophone replacements in Montreal.

    • Hahaha!

      This sounds like the reverse of what happened in Montreal since the '70s.

      • It's hilarious because the company is doomed and on a precarious drop as the inept management drive it into the ground. Viva la Quebec.

          • They also laid people off with the utmost of respect.

            A lady with 32 years of service came in to work to find her account locked out. Then she got taken into a meeting room, told, and escorted out of the building without being able to say goodbye to anyone or collect her stuff. They sent someone else to get her jacket.

            All class, Quebec.

                  How does a major resource that ensures we will be a major player in the energy industry for decades turn us into a banana republic

                  In case anyone didn't know we are headed for another crazy boom in Alberta-- Combine that with the natural gas in NE BC and likely two mega-projects in Newfoundland (Hebron and Labrador hydro) and energy is going to be a major driver of employment across the country. If a skilled tradesman is unemployed a year from now, then he isn't looking very hard

                      No seriously-- I only read about a page of the thread so Asher was probably being well . . .. himself but I still wonder what your hate is on for the oilsands ( I could understand an enviro concern but 'banana republic")

                      Oh and I have no vested interest in the oilsands--My employer has no oilsands assets

                      • That's fine.

                        I'm trying not to anymore.

                        Spoiler:

                        Tar sands = global warming = Quebec can become a backwater banana growing hole

                        • Willing to bet Boris doesn't know the first thing about the oil sands other than "tar sands = BAD"

                            • In all fairness, it brings down petroleum jelly prices required for Quebec to ram Alberta in the ass.
