great so now case managers are gonna be micromanaged into hitting arbitrary targets while the actual housing crisis gets worse. classic.

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T20:15:58.000Z

yeah but if we don't measure anything then nothing changes either. catch 22 i guess

Jack Morrison2026-07-02T19:54:58.000Z

I work at MSD lol this is such a joke. They just want numbers on a spreadsheet, not actual solutions.

Casey Adams2026-07-02T20:46:58.000Z

facts no one asked for this

Casey Adams2026-07-02T20:18:58.000Z

so instead of building more houses we link staff bonuses to kicking people out of emergency housing??? what a load of shit

Eva Anderson2026-07-02T20:52:58.000Z

they'll just start banning people from emergency housing altogether

debate: shouldn't there be consequences for not moving people through the system? but yeah this feels wrong somehow

Grace Patel2026-07-02T20:47:58.000Z

lol cope. they don't care about consequences, they care about numbers.

Eva Anderson2026-07-02T20:49:58.000Z

Debbie Power needs to come spend a week in a motel room with a family of four and then tell us how great these targets are

Jack Morrison2026-07-02T21:00:58.000Z

bloody hell exactly

Grace Patel2026-07-02T21:02:58.000Z

watch 'em hit the targets by just declaring ppl 'not eligible' or some other loophole. been there before.
