Oh, you mean losing a massive percentage of staff due to low pay and lack of WFH/flexible schedule options, refusing to replace half the staff who left, delaying the hiring process for months, underpaying current staff with no cost of living increases in 3+ years and constantly talking shit about them in public while praising private business owners instead hasn't increased efficiency?? I'm shocked!

For those unaware, Adams has been actively promoting the idea that these offices will become more efficient because so many workers have left, because they'll just have to find a way to get it done. He's a moron.

I used to work for the Welfare Office in Philadelphia. When you have a high number of people who need help, you need a high number of staff to manage it. It's simple math, but let me give you an illustration.

When I started working at Welfare, caseworkers always used to complain that they'd come into full voicemail inboxes. A few months in, the state decided to double everyone's voicemail inbox capacity. Caseworkers still would come in to full voicemail inboxes, but now they were full with twice the messages.

Austerity measures look like this everywhere every time but we’re still expected to act surprised.

The goons at the top always yell about how this is a great opportunity to do more with less. When it's perfectly obvious that you always get less with less.
