Interesting that the pay won't change, just the hours to earn it.

Coming to a neighborhood near you!

How exactly will they get folks to work that many more hours??

[rednesss]

Let’s be honest, I work in an office, most of the work that actually gets done and needs to get done, can be done in about 15 hours a week. The other time is just spent talking to co-workers and other non-productive stuff.

If the pay doesnt change, how is this an alternative to higher taxes? (If their lips are moving...)

How do you solve a staffing problem by reducing the number of hours your current staff works?

[NWFree]

It’s like getting ripped off at the grocery store as the contents all become smaller due to inflation from stupid libtards overspending

Also interesting that they are short 15% of their workforce yet don’t have to do overtime to keep up?

And just what happens when there’s a natural disaster that demands all hands on deck response?

and productivity magically won’t change either.

Actually this is pretty impressive. I would have to guess that the San Juan County (WA) employees are so efficient they are doing a 40 hour job in 32 or maybe even less. I wonder if the county administrator is going to be conducting seminars in other counties around the country as to how they can achieve that level of effectiveness.

What? Wait! I forgot, these are government employees and this is in reality just government jobs.
Never mind.

I look at this as a positive. Instead of 40 hours to make our lives miserable and filled with red tape etc, they have only 32 hours a week to do so. If as a result of a 32 hour work week, there is less bureacratic paper work, rules, and regulations I support it. Perhaps a 28 hour work week would even be better.

Let me get this straight. They have a 10 to 15 percent shortage of personnel so they are going to reduce the hours of those who are employed with them to eight hours less a week. Is that right. If that is the case, they don’t need the 10 to 15 percent that they are short, and if they can keep productivity working 8 hours less a week then they don’t even need the employees they have. They can fire some and keep the others at 40 hours a week. What am I not getting. This is dumb, but then it is democrats.

Hidden inflation .... sort of like only filling the Wheaties box half full.
