Good News... For Real This Time

Regular viewers of Destitute is the New Black! may remember the closure of the RMH call centre in Oromocto at the end of last month. Some 700 people were thrown out of work, in some cases whole families found themselves with no means of support (other than the traditional alternative).

Today, a Big Government Announcement brought word that a new centre will be opening at the former RMH site. The centre will hire its first staff this week and within a year, 600 jobs will be created. Which is awesome news for most of the laid off RMH telemarketers, not to mention the town of Oromocto. It's good news for me, too... not because I want to work at a fucking call centre, but because that makes the competition for shitty minimum wage mall jobs far less stiff. Hooray for corporate welfare!
