Notable Quotes (3)
The 26 budget is reflective of having full staff and that's what the difference is.
If we don't make dinner, then okay, we don't... I could reduce it to 500. I hate to go to zero.
The first one I offer is reducing staff by one employee... The con is the center is unstaffed if an employee is absent.
