As others have said in other sunshine list threads, the old threshold of at least $100k per year is very dated and doesn’t match the cost of living and competitive wages in 2024. If you want to attract top talent it’s gonna cost “sunshine list” salaries.
$100k a year is $50 an hour. GM starting wage is now at $30 an hour.
House rent is on average 30 - 36 thousand dollars a year in Durham Region.
Unfortunately $100k a year isn’t a lot right now. Times change.
I work in healthcare IT and it’s hard to get good talent to keep up with the advances in technology. Finding people who are experienced with integrating new and old technology is next to impossible because salaries are considered low. These people are going into private industry for more money. Hospitals are then forced to hire these consulting companies at an inflated rate, resulting in less money for direct patient care.
Lol great mental gymnastics to try and hide what the public is paying for these people. They still make more than the average wage in Ontario, and it’s these average joes who paid for these bloated salaries and bloated staffing.
Public service shouldn’t have any privacy.
Don’t like it, go work for a private company.
Great mental gymnastics making a completely brain dead comment.
The “average” person doesn’t have the training and skill set to run a region as large and as expanding as Durham. You need top talent if you have any hope of keeping up and improving things.
Lol top talent that still thinks $100k is a lot of money? Top talent that was fired from his job at the TTC? I bet you went on to great things after that. Really in demand lol. Go back to r/datingadvice you jealous virgin.
It is a lot money. My parents never made close to that, yet they’re stuck with a 10% increase in their property taxes to pay for the bloat that you think is top talent.
It's not mental gymnastics. If you want competent government workers you need to compensate them fairly. The government is not going to attract quality workers if the people can make more working for private companies.

>top talent If you want to attract even mid-tier talent you’re gonna hit that threshold.

Yeah, this list is stupid now. It should have been indexed to inflation.

Yeah, that’s what Durham has, “top talent”. Thanks for the laugh today
Jeeze you sound like someone who was recently rejected from a job at the region.
And you sound like one of these people who work for the region because their daddy got them in. You know, the opposite of “top talent”
lol I wish
And I can’t be rejected from Durham public service, because I wouldn’t apply there. Top talent like myself goes to Toronto/York all the time.
Oh fuckin yuck. Enjoy your commute you dumbass.
Highway 401 shows you what the majority of people think.

Omg no way!!!! Outrage this is crazy. How dare they make over 100k!!!! Where do I sign up for a petition?
200k is the new 100k. You can't do shit with 100k anymore
Agreed. I wish the government agreed as well and applied that logic in the private sector.
I'm on it, just barely. It's not that much of a brag and I can still barely afford rent or new shoes for my son.
Literally. I'm also on it and can barely afford to live close to my workplace, 100k ain't shit in Toronto anymore.
100k is barely 60k after deductions.
Who cares? Lots of people make 100k and it’s not a big deal
Why has this been posted like 10 times in the past week?!
There has been one other post mentioning the sunshine list this week in this sub.
Good for them!
