At the end of the day employees will use whatever the employer puts in front of them. The key here is working with the employees to manage the change. They have a reduced budget and this is one of the easier options. I am sure they could have cut a lot of stuff before pay cuts. Makes it easier to push through when you equate it to pay cuts (<: Martin -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: 20 November 2013 13:30 To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: [dba-Tech] Take a pay cut... Hi All: It seems in some municipalities, they are forcing their employees to not use Microsoft Office, by saying either use an open source equivalent or take a pay cut. In other words, employees may have start paying for their own software. http://www.zdnet.com/ditch-microsoft-office-or-take-a-pay-cut-which-would-yo u-choose-7000022348/?s_cid=e099&ttag=e099 Jim _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
