Default Is anyone looking for a government desk job for $88,000-$120,000 a year?

I saw this today and thought I would pass it on someone around here might be looking for such a position. If this is the lead, I wonder how many people work below them.

So in other words the job is to create positions that aren't necessary just so the gov't looks more inclusive?

That is funny, what are the chances of any of us (older white males) getting that job. About the same chance of us getting the MVP of an NHL season.

$120K/year? You'd have to pay me a LOT more than that to live and work in Redmonton.

I was factoring on sleeping through the orientation, so yeah, nap time counts!

Then I could spend hours getting the new computer set up, and grab a leisurely lunch... Nap again... Requisition a new chair for my home office...

Don’t forget to upgrade your French fluency- they can’t fire you as long as you are trying to speak it.

So there is a position now where you don’t necessarily have to high the best person for the job. Ask Bud Light how that worked out for them. 🤣
