AECL has been on a hiring spree for the past several years. After some layoffs in 2002/2003, they decided it was time to start rehiring again:
2005 – 3,221 (full-time employees)
2006 – 3,604
2007 – 4,135
2008 – 4,800+
A 50% increase in employees. All those fresh minds & faces running around....and yet the NRU is still late & way over budget.
What are all those extra bodies up to?
Maybe they're gearing up to build some new reactors....or make certain business units more attractive for a sale.
And those 'old guys'. I'm betting that most of them will be back as very-very-well-paid consultants when those reactors get built.
On time.
On budget.
I have no idea what those people are doing!
