Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson says he will push for cuts to supervisory positions after a city audit found hiring for those positions had grown "disproportionately" over the last three years. Middle-management positions increased by 22 per cent; supervisory positions went up by 19 per cent. "We will have to shed some supervisory positions across the corporation to bring things back into balance. "Since 2017, the workforce has grown each year and supervisory FTE (full-time equivalents) have grown disproportionately high compared to non-supervisory FTE," the report said. "Reversing this growth by reducing supervisory FTE is an effective way to reduce costs for the organization."
