Eliminating paid holidays saves money?

[Cant trust em]

How does eliminating two paid holidays save money? Whether people are at work or not, the state is going to pay their employees. Doesn't eliminating the holidays just create additional days of work?

Or is the plan to keep the holidays, but for them to now be unpaid?

1. Day off, no pay, n/t

2. think about it

you go to work; you hopefully do work

you don't go to work, you don't do any work

I rather have the state pay for people to do work rather than not to do work

FIVE paid holidays in the first three months? I get two of those

if they're going to get paid, do some work

3. That maintains productivity, but doesn't cut costs

If I get paid $1000 per week, that doesn't change if the week five days or four days. Sure, they're going to make people work five days, but that just means that they're getting more bang for the buck. Not necessarily saving that buck.

Maybe I'm missing something here.

4. I want more bang for the buck

if you want to save money-don't pay them for holidays
