By Terry Ledrew<\/h5>\n
In \u00a0my 33-year stint at the CBC I managed to survive at least a dozen cuts, down-sizings or re-visioning. And the survivors\u00a0were all led to believe, every time, that THIS one, was the fix. The attrition war to end all attrition wars.<\/span><\/h6>\n

Yesterday’s news about the latest round of deep cuts <\/a>has left me thinking about what it must be like for those \u00a0still working for the\u00a0<\/span>public broadcaster. I could be off-base here, but I can’t recall any other workforce that has had to live with such\u00a0uncertainty<\/a>\u00a0for so long.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fix hasn’t happened. And it isn’t all about cuts in funding, it is at least in part about a serious flaw in the culture at the top. Of losing its religion.<\/p>\n

What’s ahead? \u00a0The impact on the workforce, living with the\u00a0axe constantly swinging. What’s that like?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And perhaps more importantly, how will it affect<\/a> the recruitment,\u00a0<\/a>attracting and retaining the solid journalists the public broadcaster needs if it’s to be a credible voice in the national discourse.<\/p>\n

What do \u00a0other CBC veterans think about this? Retirees with a more intimate knowledge\u00a0of the inner-workings at the top.
\nLet’s discuss this. It’s too important to keep silent on something that affects all Canadians, not just CBC employees.<\/p>\n
