Govt plans to lay off 20 pc employees
2013-07-22
Even the Paks can figure out how to manage their government. Anyone think the U.S. government would even notice if 20 percent of "non-technical staff" were fired?
ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Sunday issued letters to all the ministries for the expulsion of 20 percent of the non-technical staff from all public service departments.

According to media reports, the step was taken to reduce non-development expenses, following the austerity policy of the government. All the “useless staff” would be dismissed through the policy. Resultantly, the government would be able to save a handsome amount of money.

It merits mentioning here that the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (Radio Pakistan) also received the letter. According to reports, the corporation has started preparing lists of staff members it plans to dismiss.

#2  Much better to pay them to do nothing than to do the somethings that governments usually pay them to do.

#1  But that'll just drive up unemployment and they'll have to pay them to do nothing! Isn't it better to pay them, and have them do something? THAT's the American way!
