Problem is, Bermudians don’t want to do them. Maybe Social assistance should limit payouts to a fixed number of weeks. After that you are on your own.

I don’t understand. Ever since the days of the fax machine postal volume has been going down, delivery speed has been getting slower & staffing levels have exploded.

What am I not seeing here?

These days with electronic just about everything, Fedex & UPS, the postal system is virtually obsolete, uneeded. Perhaps privatizing what little is needed is the answer.

If you think crime and social unrest are at high levels now…try unleashing 500-600 people into the mix – without job prospects or the basic skill set needed to get a job.

The conundrum is – do we keep them on payroll? or do we let them go and watch unemployment assistance and the demand for social assistance shoot through the roof? either way, we will pay…

Its is nearly impossible to hear what the guy is saying – and therefore the ad is all but useless.

Another total waste of Government $$$$$

The government is such a huge employer that cutting budgets and becoming more efficient will increase unemployment (making the government look bad)…

The Premier should be able to cut considerable costs by taking full advantage of the efficiencies and synergies that this website offers by reducing the workforce. My only concern is the many hundreds of largely unskilled workers that this technology will displace…There is no room in our economy for those of lesser educations…so while I say yes yes yes to the advances and cost cutting measures…the social ramifications will be dire…its a tough spot to be in.
