Wonder where the cut will come from: county offices or those directors who recently received pay raises (as much as 6%)? Who will be left to provide services to those applying for benefits/and looking for jobs? Want to guess????
Yea and since the unemployment rate is not high enough lets lay off some more

Two words: Systemic unemployment.

Wait, we were going to rebate the taxpayers for those layoffs and cut programs, remember? That deficit should be higher.

Shocking. A federally funded agency has a deficit. Because Confress has balanced the budget and everyone knows that Congress is just giving away $$ right now

Everyone in the field will be laid off and forced to reaply for new positions within the Agency. SCDEW is unable to pay it’s bills due to fiscal mismanagement…Where is the oversight? The LAC? The Gov’s Office? The SC Legislature? USDOL? There is none. The shortfall is closer to $8 million and it’s not all due to less funding from DOL – due to lower unemployment numbers.
Sic Will you need to get on this…this could be your Pulitzer moment. You’ve only scratched the surface. Keeping tugging at the loose thread. There is more to come…

So the employees had to take a certification test, that wasn’t good enough so they made it harder to weed people out. Now they are going to lay off the local offices and they have to reapply? Why would you cut the local office jobs they make $26,000 a yr, why not cut the main office they sit on the behind s all day and make $70,000 or more. All the local office workers should walk out, since they are not valued and see what the main office does then.
Dennis King, Assist. Exec. Director at SCDEW, has a conference call this week
with office managers lettin them know a little of what is coming. He tells them to tell their staff. The next day he holds a second conference call and screams that office managers emaild State Legislators and told them whats goin on. King then threatens the mamagers that he will use whatever resources he has to to find out who talked to the legislature and it will not be a good day for them.
1- At this point, anyone in SCDEW knew what was goin on and could have emaild and
2- How can a agency that has 7 million dollars deficit afford to waste resources on petty vindictiveness?
