We’re pleased to announce the first winners of our ‘We’re inundated with managers’ contest for 2026!
Congratulations to a member from North Portal, who won in the ‘absurdity of the employees/management ratio’ category with 8 managers for 5 employees, and who writes: “As the overnight shift of 2 officers leaves work, there are 3 chiefs (one acting) and 5 superintendents (3 acting) with only 5 day shift officers.”
And congratulations to a member from Calgary, who won in the ‘originality of the submission’ category. With a submission of 41 managers for 85 employees, they write: “We have over 40 staffed managers for a maximum of 85 active officers. A ratio of almost 1 manager for 2 officers. Even inmates and kindergarten children have a higher ratio!”
We’ll be announcing the next winners in March (previous submissions will also be considered, so no need to resubmit them).
