Why would there be "performance pay" for anyone, when the entire corporation is performing so poorly that they have to drop 800 jobs?
It should be easy to determine performance pay. Do we (CBC) need taxpayer money? Yes, $0 performance pay.
That isn't actually how to measure it.
If demons could speak.
She basically just fired herself with this. Well done.
And probably receive a hefty severance pay.. there's no accountability with CBC..
Nope, government is a cushy job.
As long as she continues to ensure favourable coverage for Trudeau and the Liberals she will keep her job.
She’s the top Liberal shill in the country. The only thing that changes her standing is a new government
Justin will make sure she stays.
"We took it to our board of directors and it was decided we all deserve bonuses" - cbc
"2 languages, 6 timezones, 8 indigenous languages, television, radio"
Oh, and let's not forget the copious amounts of bootlicking sycophancy and sanctimony to keep fluffing the ruling regime.
State propaganda mouthpiece and ideological bastion - worth more to the rulers than money can buy.
What a god damn joke - DEFUND THEM NOW!
You British?
Really, CBC. Literally reporting on CBC. How interesting? 😂
They have to. CBC gets money from tax payer money.
Yes, it shows their reasonably solid ethics and integrity. It’s major Canadian news and rightly needs to be reported on.
The CBC has carried out hard-hitting reporting showing the CBC to be above reproach.
AND the CBC hasn''t cut comments off. unbelievable.
They are good reporters. Transparency.
Defund CBC
Shame. I’m disgusted that CBC gets even a cent of taxpayer funding when they obviously overspend while paying out millions to executives. Why the hell do the executives get a bonus when the company is obviously not doing well?
I can’t believe this happened in this country 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm now 90 years old. I've been a fan and a supporter of CBC most of my adult life. In the last 10 years it has gone downhill and no longer provides a forum for the average listener, instead cherry picking what articles one can comment and dictating what can be viewed. They have become a joke and hopefully the President and senior staff will face the wrath of the Canadian public in the next election..
So true. Sad.
Well said . The way they censor the news on behalf of this government is by under reporting the news they don't want the public to focus on.
Well said thank you
Dictating what can be viewed huh? Why don’t you just say what you really mean?
@@holdenmibreath3331 I’m sure they said exactly what they meant.
Pure corruption.
Catherine Tait sits on the CBC Board of Directors. The Board makes decisions on staff bonuses based on the performance metrics established by the Chief Executive Officer (Catherine Tait) and her direct reports. the CBC's Annual Report failed to provide the bonus criteria information I was looking for. Publicly traded companies provide details on executive bonuses to shareholders who ratify these decisions via proxy votes. Since the CBC gets most of its money from taxpayer subsidies, taxpayers should know if the CBC Board considered growth in advertising revenue and subscribers (metrics used by private sector competitors) as relevant performance criteria for executive bonuses.
Out tax dollars at work...
Not often you can just look at entitlement in a person face . Like you can with Catherine Tait . But of course as soon as she opens her mouth their it is in spades .
She looks happy and smiling when just thinking about her and her friends bonuses
😮😮 Is it true that she fires all those staffs so she got her bonuses
how nice of her to take a break from the jewish board rooms she sits on in the U.S., to return to Canada, mysteriously, for a BIG money grab at the taxpayer funded network, that should indeed be defunded, as it is strictly for cable subscribers!
wow the weesle to great pains to not answer the questions. and the board of directors much like the politicians will give themselves bonuses
She basically said YES!!!
"I'm not gonna tell you your age but it's in between 4 and 6." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"The management guides the decisions of the board of directors." As president and CEO she is the top member of management and sits on the board of directors. 🤦🏼♂
She’s been to Justin school she’s an expert
Defund CBC!!!
She basically said YES in the 3rd person.
"I'm not gonna tell you your age but it's in between 4 and 6." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"The management guides the decisions of the board of directors." As president and CEO she is the top member of management and sits on the board of directors. 🤦🏼♂
This woman is insane. To complain that 1.3 billion isn’t enough when no one actually consumes the pablum they produce is offensive. It’s time to be done with this nonsense and redirect the money into improving the lives of Canadians.
apparently you consume it.
The fact comments are open on a CBC video like this tells me that there's probably some extremely irate CBC managerial staff who are really dissapointed with their leadership over these bonuses.
When CBC's TH-cam platform(s) does not allow for comments the majority of the time, then they limit their own revenue through algorithms for ads, AND, also remove the opinions of Canadians from their culture.
Professor-Marty.
I've noticed. Only North Korea is as aggressive in cutting off comments. Except that NK citizens are their slaves, not their tax payers. It should be impossible to cut off comments from your OWNERS.
Tone deaf
@@user-zp7jp1vk2i I cannot speak for North Korean cultural-patterns, as I have never been there. I have been to South Korea, and have often spoken about, even to them, about their culture (more than 6 months there). Thanks for you reply, Professor-Marty.
@@Karma-fp7ho Can you please elaborate?
Thanks,
Professor-Marty.
Geesh, I seem to remember the government receiving significant raises while Canadians are dealing with crippling inflation, crippling interest rates, crippling housing and rent costs, crippling food costs and worse of all crippling carbon taxes.
CBC funding coming from and being 100% dependent on the Government and tax payer’s money and saying there is a “process”. Let’s be real, it’s a free market and send CBC out into the real world to see if it survives. If it does, then allow her to get a bonus.
Didn't we just give you people 1.3 BILLION dollars!? That is an OBSCENE amount of money. Why are you laying people off let alone handing out bonuses? Who the hell is managing your finances?
Grifters
DE. FUND. NOW.
Keep marching to your own doom
, I’ve listened to CBC my whole life (60 years) i can’t wait till it’s defunded
This is disgustingly disturbing! Big business people, politicians, and corporations are so greedy these days. They claim all the time, they have lost money, when in reality they just made a few million less than last quarter! It's really a shame!!
shame cbc
All the work they do and still nobody watching!!!
You just did!
What I saw (as a former CBC employee, I left in 1993 and did some sporadic freelancing with Mother Corp afterwards) was Catherine Tait running down the clock and only giving actual answers when she was cornered. In my humble opinion the English services have taken a nose dive over the past 15 or so years, and the population has shown this by the massive drop in viewership. After the loss of Hockey Night in Canada the CBC has never recovered and it's flailing along throwing taxpayer money at the problems it has, is the problem. Radio Canada is likely the only English CBC arm that has enough listeners to justify it's existence, and the French TV, Radio and Digital seem to have a decent viewership and also provides programing that can be sold to other parts of the World. The English side and the Corporate side need to be razed to the ground and either re-structured to suit the current climate or abolished and all it's assets sold off and the money returned to the Canadian People. With her performance yesterday I can only hope that Ms. Tait's days are numbered as the head of the CBC.
100% agree with you on all points
She is a vampire right 😮
Those bonuses and layoffs are possible both possible thanks to Trudeau. If you're not high up enough to benefit from government subsidies, you get layed off.
If it rains or snows , it is Trudeau s fault .. you are ridiculous .
Disgusting 😡
I agree with the reporter. If they cannot afford to keep staff employed. The executives (who are already well payed) are unworthy of a bonus.
A taxpayer funded home in new york city, and taxpayer funded flights when she does deign to appear at work, and taxpayer paid accommodations in Toronto or Ottawa. Nice gig.
@@codechartreuse good word, eh?
There is a four letter word that describes red to a T and starts with a C.
Or begins and ends with "t".
So, the bosses get huge bonuses, while the economy is down and then she talks of the workers getting the axe. Same as it ever was. The richer get richer and the poor become homeless.
Well I'd like to see some changes if they are staying. A lot of their political reporting is extremely bias, and they turn off comments
You mean not significantly calling out the extreme right wing hard enough and questioning Canadian investment and subsidies of our oil industry? Yes we need stronger standards that don’t placate to the fringe right of Canadians who would back trucker occupations and anti-science rhetoric.
The far left is a trillion times worse than the far right. Open a history book and see for yourself. More failures and more deaths than all the other form of political ideals combined. FACT! @@TheTechnoPilot
Pigs at the trough.
can't wait for them to be de-funded
The ads on digital make it useless to viewers.
Unaccountability accounting for it's actions
Katie Tait does not even live in Canada. She lives in New York.
"i want my cut for running this propaganda machine. The peasants can eat crumbs"
Can’t wait to hear the stories of the people laid off, should be very interesting stay tuned 😂😂😂😂
They all lining their pockets.
NO NO NO = BONUS
Wow CBC didn't turn off the comments for this video. What a noble gesture.....
Close Down CBC. What did you guys do for the Public/Canadian Peoples
DEFUND
The CBC; not about Canadian programming, but about programming Canadians.
D E F U N D C B C ! ! !
Catherine's hair is the perfect colour for the place she is headed.
I will unsubscribe now, aswell I will delete their apps from my phone, tablet . 👋 Bye bye #cbc
defund the useless cbc
Let me guess, she will receive the biggest bonus,She won't rock the boat 😂
Time for a new model of funding. They need to end the huge amount of federal funding and they need to stand on their own
Corporate greed! Another CEO out of touch with reality
How does 1.3 billion in public funding in 2023 translate to employee bonuses?
Corrupt Bureaucrats Corporation
Okay so my department lost 75% . I guess a 75% bonus is in order
CBC should be ashamed
UNBELIEVABLE !!!
The devil in person
Defund!
canadian taxes should not be use for this or any news outlets give the money to farmers
Why don’t journalists get bonuses? Too many middle managers not enough boots on the ground.
WELL clearly if there are layoffs the performance is severely lacking... they should be considering performance penalties
Shut it down. Let the private sector figure it out
Not one more penny of public money for cbc.
I am usually against huge bonuses, but in this case I'll do an exception. She should get higher bonuses as long as more CBC employees get fired.
Props for covering and allowing comments
WOW! Lol
Over 40 billion dollars Canadian money funded in 30
Not disabling the comments?
A bold strategy Cotton let's see how it plays out.
With a lying word, a CBC reporter can end an innocent person's career but there is never any problem with CBC reporting on CBC execs trying to keep their jobs and cushy incomes.... just odd, I believe.
Mr. Burns had a wife?
It's funny watching CBC cover this 😂
If "performance" is to be a metric for bonuses, clearly the taxpayer should be litigating to reclaim previous years. For an organization that championed the closure of the private sector while themselves getting surreptitious bonuses/handouts, the entire bloated conglomerate has rightfully exhausted its shelf life. If Que is enthusiastic about their French portion, then it will be able to survive in a capitalist market place. I really cant wait for Pierre to convert their premium office space on King street etc into a refugee warming centres seeing the CBC is so pro anything thats not white. If the CBC balked, they can fall on their own way cism sword they themselves wield with exuberance at the rest of us.
If it’s based on performance, they all need to refund their salaries from last year to the taxpayers
@@gcanada3005 I covered that in the very first sentence. They should also be indicted for their clear involvement in the unnecessary covid restrictions while they themselves where never obligated to abide by any of them being exempted. Then they want to walk among us like they are the same as us?
@@GrantM.-gx2kn Unfortunately you sound as wound up one way as they are the other. What ever happened to normal. I should know the internet isn’t the place for normal
So... defund the CBC?
How awkward reporting on your own companies greedy and corrupt bosses 😂🤣😂
Why is someone that lives in Boston the CBC president anyway ? Bonuses are based on performance not as she put it part of the salary . If you're laying off people , guess it's fair to say you didn't perform well so no bonuses this year . Maybe if you covered stories outside of Toronto CBC might not be performing so badly . CBC is supposed to fully cover all of Canada , but I suppose it is difficult when no one leaves that beautiful CBC mega rise building in downtown Toronto . Oh by the way I heard that when the conservatives get elected they are turning it into low cost rentals .
I say we defund you all together
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.
So bonuses? Yes ? No?
Let them have one last bonus then pull all funding. No more tax dollars for biased news.
Laying off workforce and being deserving of a bonus. This is not where I want my tax dollars going. What a corrupt system.
She looks evil
All crown corporation employees should be only paid minimal wage. If you want to be paid more then get off public sector and get a real job.
That would encourage them to up the minimum wage. Might not be a terrible idea.
Cause that’s what government employees do. Anyone know how much it costs taxpayers to fund the CBC. About 5 billion. Do we need this?? What are their ratings?? Do people watch these stations. I say no.
i hope she doesn't get a bonus; look at her dress, make up, golden ring - she doesn't deserve a single penny from my pocket....and the smile on her face - she know she is getting one and smiles in everyone's face. what a state we are in nowadays. Controlled by Komsomolskaya Pravda - NKVD times....
Damn you left the comments open on this one?!?!?!
When it comes to political mismanagement and government waste we should all have a say in the matter.
CBC used to be amazing
"spectacular what we do". show me my bonus.
“The limited amount of money we have to work with.”
I had to watch that 3 different time make sure I was hearing it correctly!
I don’t think she’s tone-deaf…I think she’s so self absorbed & entitled that she doesn’t know any better. I feel for her soul.
Bias ??? conflict of interest ???
They lost their most money making program! Hockey Night in Canada. Fiscal stupidity at it's finest.
I don't understand the reason for CBC performance bonus's. The liberal leaders state views and report on matters and CBC, without question, repeats it verbatim thru radio, TV and online. My thinking is Trudeau should get the bonus as he is the one telling them what to report and telling them line by line what to report. Do you know how many news agencies in Canada are capable of providing this same service and for 1/3 the price ($400m).
How can a government supposed news station even be eligoble for bonuses. Wpuld love to see the criteria for these bonus. The head of CBC has overspent her time. Good bye
Oh, you're allowing comments on this one are you? FJT.
