As long as they don't cut back on the leeches, everyone will be fine.

LOL, they are morons. There is a item called a circuit breaker which can be used to turn off the lights. IF the buildings were wired right you can cut a third of the lights in a hall by cutting the breakers to one of three staggered fixtures. IOW one breaker cuts off every third light in hallway. Total time required? 5 minutes per floor maximum. All they they have to do is make certain they don't cut off the emergency lighting.

Well, did they HAVE to have the lights removed on overtime? Couldn't they just have the maintenance staff take down the lights in the course of the regular business day? Even if it took several days to finally complete the task?

I guess if they ever get around to re-installing them for some reason, that will result in another overtime charge.

By the way, when they replace one or two burned out bulbs on any given shift, does that take overtime to complete?

“this initial foray into cost-cutting has come a cropper. We’re not used to all this efficiency folderol.”

It looks like English, but it's complete gibberish to me.
