John H "looking for work" :zenbrowser: :linux: :rick:<p>Fascinating merger of Credit Unions in BC. Prospera, Coast Capital and Sunshine Coast. Having been through several mergers in the CU system I can tell you that this is going to lead to massive amounts of layoffs. </p><p>Management will deny it but usually a year after the initial merge is complete then the merger will be "over" and the layoffs will start. Won't be pretty. </p><p>Will end up with a very top heavy organization. Massive bonuses for the CEO and other Executives. Staff will get treated like cattle. </p><p>Always remember there are two AND ONLY TWO reasons Credit Unions merge:</p><p>1) They have to. e.g. One CU is in financial distress and regulators will force a merger<br>2) One or more CEOs want to retire and want larger golden parachutes</p><p>They'll talk about how being better will lead to better service, more services, blah blah blah. Its all a smoke screen.</p><p>Glad I'm out of the CU system. </p><p><a href="https://www.coastcapitalsavings.com/about-us/press-room/news-releases/2025/20250403" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">coastcapitalsavings.com/about-</span><span class="invisible">us/press-room/news-releases/2025/20250403</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/creditunions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>creditunions</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canada</span></a></p>
