It is the ultimate example of how you reap what you sow: Huge numbers of American workers who voted for Obama are now seeing their own jobs slashed below 30 hours a week as employers desperately try to avoid "Obamacare bankruptcy."
Obamacare mandates for businesses only apply to those working 30 hours a week or more, and while many businesses do not want to cut workers' hours, they are being forced to in order to stay afloat. This necessary action is causing businesses to lose money and become less competitive while at the same time destroying American jobs.
Some businesses are also slashing job positions in an effort to get below the 50-employee threshold above which Obamacare mandates kick in. So across the country, we're not only seeing workers lose hours thanks to Obamacare; we're also seeing workers losing their jobs.
But the Obama administration will announce these results to be a huge "job creation success!" because workers must now find two part-time jobs that usually pay less than the one full-time job they used to have. The raw job numbers, however, will be spun by the White House into a victory pronouncement of "twice as many jobs exist now!"
Be careful what you vote for
A note to Obama supporters: When you thought you were voting for "free health care," you were actually voting to get yourself "downsized." Your vote was an act of economic suicide...

My wife works for a small family business that employed 55 workers.
Six were let go a few weeks back to get under 50. No news camera’s standing out on the curb. Nobody keeping count - just another 6 jobs gone.
Boo hoo...elections have consequences.
It was a vote of economic serial murder, at least second degree murder that is (Intent to do economic harm to half the country that pays taxes, with intent to wound but not kill, but winds up killing anyway by bleeding us, economically speaking, to death)
BUMP
I suggest that those who get the axe should march on D.C. and protest the government intrusion that cost them their job, if they don’t do anything about it than frankly I am tired of fighting for their sorry butts.... I also suggest that business owners explain to their employees that the exact reason that they are being laid off is because of government taxation and overregulation, I would say also to be sure to thank an Obama voter for ensuring that you are on the unemployment line.... but of course as the unemployment sky rockets the average American won’t be told by the Liberal media complex and the government will continue with creative ways to fudge the numbers as labor participation drops at twice the rate of new hires.... As the unemployment checks run out and more people jump on the SSDI or Welfare roles that ultimately is unsustainable and will destroy the country... bottom line what we are watching is national suicide.
Unexpected.
Too bad...so sad.
Having a real hard time shedding a tear over here...
The ignorant masses made their bed, now they have to sleep in it. This will affect young and unskilled people more than any others, because they are the ones who bring the least value-added to a business.
Boo f'ing hoo. Maybe next time they'll think about NOT voting for a Socialist turd and his enablers in Congress.
Top Ten Things To Tell A Laid-Off Obama Voter:

My personal favorite:
1. “Hey, at least that successful Mormon businessman didn’t win.”
On a happier note, I get to fire an employee on Christmas Eve day because she has gone over her sick and vaca time. Four write ups this year. Oh, and she tells everyone about her awesome Kwanzaa vacation coming up!
If one considers the purpose in the mind of a leftard....
there is X amount of work to do. I have Y people to do that work in 40 hours.
To your average leftard then they think that if you cut their hours by 25% then they will hire 25% more workers to do the same X amount of work.
When the reality is that their hours get cut 25%, the work X remains the same and the staff level remains the same. So the employer demands higher productivity.
Leftards never follow things through to their logical conclusion.
Cause & effect, huh. Do Big Ears voters even understand that correlation?

I envy you; I have black employees, but with one exception they are happy to have a job and do it well.
For several decades now employement law in Hawaii has mandated that employers provide health insurnace to employess who work over 20 hours / week.
The result? A lot of people work two or more part-time jobs (under 20 hrs/week) and have no health insurance. Been going on a long time
All they had to do was look at a real life case study ... right in Obama’s backyard.

Take their last 30 hours away and they’ll blame Bush for it.
Instead of one company that does a few things, put a wall up, divide the Co., two parts (two companies, Inc.).
One side of the wall does one thing, other side does the finish work.
For those that make $250K or a little over, cut back to $245K.
More than one way to skin a cat. (I really don't know that, but was told)lol
...Remember how you said you wanted to pick up a part time job? Well, now you need to get two part-time jobs - no one is hiring full time anymore....(here's your sign)
