Canada's public servants are emotionally stressed

Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle look at results from a new survey showing Canada's public servants are feeling emotionally stressed at their jobs.

Results from a survey of Canada's public service employees found an increasing number of workers were feeling emotionally drained and dealing with a higher level of stress.

The Treasury Board of Canada, which conducted the survey, also found fewer federal employees are getting satisfaction from their work, CTV reported.

On Tuesday's Rebel Roundup livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle shared their thoughts on the ever-growing public sector's dissatisfaction.

Remarking on increased stress levels, Sheila joked that perhaps the public workers were “worried that the Conservatives would get in and fire three out of every two of them.”

“Everything is broken and everybody is stressed, and you know what would make this a better time for us? Some more money, that is what they are saying,” said Lise.

Emotions can be controlled, noted Sheila, “but these people, they don't feel that way. Their emotional instability is apparently all of our problems,” she said.

Addressing the 36% of respondents who said they intended to leave their position in the next two years, both Sheila and Lise agreed.

“Don't replace them,” Sheila said. “Happy trails,” added Lise.

Please help Rebel News stand up for the West!

Ottawa’s been screwing the West for decades — Trudeau's carbon taxes, Carney’s smug elitism, and laws like Bill C-69 that sabotage our prosperity. The message from the East? Shut up, pay up, and stay in your place. We’re done with that. And we think you are too. That's why Rebel News is launching a campaign to give Albertans and the West a voice — and we need your help to kick it off. Please help us fund a province-wide poll on Alberta independence, emergency townhalls, and fearless journalism that tells the truth about how badly Ottawa treats the West. If you're fed up with being trampled by the Laurentian elite, chip in now. We’re not taking it anymore!

    Robert Pariseau is right. Those wimps wouldn’t last long in the private sector. Working from home is thee least stressful way to work. There’s no commuting or need to get dressed. But folks who must work away from home have time taken from them by commuting and getting presentable before work. I believe working from home should be limited to nursing mothers and physically disabled folks.

    What a bunch of spoiled crybabies. They should try their shit in the private sector.
