Shared Services Canada Cutting 1,000+ Jobs, Part of Federal Workforce Adjustment
Shared Services Canada Layoffs: The Latest
Shared Services Canada is reportedly planning to axe more than 1,000 jobs — informing workers across the federal agency.
“[We are] in the process of notifying employees and executives that their position is affected and may no longer be required,” spokesperson Nick Wells said in an email to the Ottawa Citizen.
“We are unable to share the number of employees who will be receiving letters until we have finished this process.”
The bombshell update comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government continues to scale back the size of the federal public service.
