[QUOTE="jcizzle, post: 2115891, member: 18220"] Question? So many on here have a problem with the amountof govt spending yet have a problem with proposed cuts. What shall we do then? I know entitlement spending needs drastic reigning in but so do all of the govt agencies. DOD included. Nobody on here or anywhere else can convince me that ALL of their department's spending is critical or that EVERY job effected is essential. Maybethe problem isn't in those wanting to cut your department's budget but rather it is with those within your department who spend unnecessarily. Maybe they should trim fat and eliminatenon-essential employees or under performing people. No, it'seasier to make it across the board so everyone feels some pain instead of manning up and maybe even looking like the bad guy by cutting strings to lean their departments. When things were slow a few yearsback for me I didn't lay everyone off one day per week. No. The well performing employees were taken care of IF their job was essential enough AND I could afford them. Others were wished well. It sucked but was the right thing to do. We learned to run leaner and are stronger today because of it. If i'd have just furloughed through the tough patch and never made adjustments to become better. We'd be waitingfor the next slow spell to sink our ship. Instead those still with me make more money than ever before without the frustration of pulling dead weight. They are also paid on merrit and job importance not by how long they'vemanaged to ride the wave of employment It sucks to say and many will scorn me but some of you fed employees need to be fired. Either bc you are under performing or bc you aren't truly essential (even if you think you are) Others of you should not miss a beat and not be asked to take one day off without pay. I understand though that some of you who belong in the first group think you belong in the second. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2 [/QUOTE]
