IO has been handling major procurements for ML for a long time now. It has always been their turf. The new CEO will have a good understanding of where the skeletons are buried. They may even own a shovel.

This is definitely an election tactics.

I don't think so. Either it's a personal decision or just typical finding someone to blame. How many people have they fired at the top of the subway and other divisions?

 

[SaugeenJunction]

As much as the guy sucks, he was basically hired to be Fords punching bag!

He was hired in the Kathleen Wynne administration.

Inverted pyramid does not even begin to describe all the new VPs, Directors and Senior management types hired at Metrolinx the past few years. A co-worker of mine joked that she was going to apply to be VP of TP, 4 ply for all!

Considering what I have seen and heard, that entire organization is incapable of even finding a shovel, let alone using one.

The $100,000 threshold of 1996 is equal to $181,000 in 2024. There are over 1,500 employees at Metrolinx over this level. Considering that most of the work is designed and built by separate private contractors, what the heck are all these ML sunshiners doing?

Metrolinx isn't serious about providing quality transit to Ontarians. It exisists to provide "cushy" government jobs for friends and insiders.

I have to wonder how often do these "sunshine" employees even show up to the office?

Someone needs to come in and "clean house" Metrolinx.

And it remains far more reliable - and at times more frequent - than the TTC, and even some other services.
