CBC ends manager performance pay after criticism

CBC/Radio-Canada will eliminate performance pay for managers following criticism and a third-party review, shifting focus to long-term public service goals. The decision comes after the broadcaster faced backlash for awarding bonuses while considering layoffs. The corporation paid $18.4 million in performance pay to 1,194 employees in the 2023-24 fiscal year. Salaries will be adjusted to maintain current compensation levels. The move aims to prioritize value to citizens and strengthen Canadian culture. The change follows a period of financial strain and calls for increased funding, with the new CEO taking over last fall.
