Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1914264, member: 780"] Are these NYC Government workers? Or are they private contractors? Government people have little incentive to be efficient or quick. Suing the City of NY or any Government is extraordinarily difficult. They, after all, make the rules. I had a friend who had worked on a NJ State road crew for a Summer job. I asked him once why the State trucks drove so slowly, often clogging up two-lane roads through out the State. He explained that what they would do is to figure out how far they were from the home yard and then compute how long it would take to get there if they drove 10 - 20 mph. That would tell them when they could quit working and start slowly driving. The idea was to get there exactly at quitting time. If they were 15 miles away, they could quit work at 4:00pm. If they were 30 miles away, at 2:45pm they would start packing up. [/QUOTE]
