Heads Are Gonna Roll
The Xerox Is FULL Of Resumes!
OK, back to The Man's "rightsizing" situation...
Understand that this is a worst-case scenario. Each of The Man's departments will be doing whatever cost-cutting they can before moving on to the pink slips.
In some cases, numbers can be shuffled to a certain extent. A lot of folks will use this as a good excuse to retire, if they're eligible. A few personnel can be moved to a revenue-generating area and get them out of the Central Fund. Others can get their salaries charged off to a grant or ongoing construction projects, but by & large, many departments don't have any income to speak of that doesn't come out of The Man's big pot o' gold. Their biggest budget item is salaries & benefits.
Needless to say, they'll take the hardest hit, and will likely lose 10-25% of their staff.
I've blurred the names just a bit, in order to obfuscate any obvious Google searches, but you can figure out more or less which departments I'm referring to.
Once again, this is all based on previously published information. The pdf file is posted on the local fishwrapper's website.
OK, the ugly is as follows:
Department - Current Staff - Projected FTE Loss
Guns - 7456 - 602
Hoses - 4032 - 408
Tickets - 369 - 21
Trash - 650 - 61
Beancounters - 69 - 18
Lawyers - 190 - 31
Rules & Regs - 450 - 58
Emergency Phones - 231 - 30
Audits - 74 - 27
Bookworms - 484 - 177
Golf, Pools & Trees - 893 - 315
Clinics & Food Cops - 1089 - 231
Buildings - 275 - 160
Realtors - 28 - 7
Casas y Barrios - 137 - 4 (They got this treatment last year)
Stage & Screen - 116 - 6
The Man's Office - 60 - 15
Equality - 30 - 12
Nazgul's Offices - 85 - 27
Networks - 188 - 95
Dept. Of The Future - 100 - 41
People - 240 - 17
Total - 22440 - 2363
Unless pennies start dropping from heaven PDQ, this will all be pushed through by June 1, and those long lines and slow service y'all are always griping about are gonna get a lot worse.
The county & state are in the same boat. If you can do your business online, that's going to be a lot quicker than driving downtown!
More news as I know it!
