The lesson of Phoenix was simple: fix the problems before you launch something new.

Instead, we are layering a new system on top of unresolved errors, unclear costs, and a backlog that is still affecting thousands of workers.

Oh, hello. #Phoenix strikes again: I’ve just received a letter stating that the #PayCentre forgot to take my pension contributions off for eighteen months, and I owe $6K. (Still no sign of my $2K+ @psac_afpc overpayment ever being paid back. )
