"Officials at the agency estimate the changes could save tens of thousands of man-hours across the federal government."
So, since an employee works around 2000 hours/year, this is something on the order of 10 employees.
- EdSharkey 9y agoI'm curious, are you being snarky? Are you taking issue that a manager is at the switch and sweating some details, or are you just noting that this article was written about a trivial amount of government waste? I can't tell if you're being snarky or not because you wrote so little. My finger was hovering over the downvote button, but I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.
- mikeyouse 9y agoThe article contains a nice little switch of context in that paragraph; > Seven of the more than 50 paperwork requirements the White House eliminated on Thursday dealt with the Y2K bug, according to a memo OMB released. Officials at the agency estimate the changes could save tens of thousands of man-hours across the federal government. They're not talking about the Y2k paperwork requirement when they give their estimate of hours saved, but the totality of the paperwork requirements.
