Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma allayed fears of government workers of being booted out of job following the proposal of the Department of Budget and Management to all agencies to initiate belt-tightening measures amid the economic crunches that the country is continue facing.
“When you talk of streamlining, it’s all about making work in a business easier and fruitful. On the other hand, structural reforms imply changes to the way the government works. I don’t see downsizing of workforce in those definitions,” he added. The proposal, however, triggered speculations of massive retrenchment among government workers and drew the ire of labor groups who called the plan as ill-timed and ill-motivated.
“Let’s be more positive with rightsizing where the possibility of transferring or even hiring of more people by a government with lots of tasks to perform is very high,” said Laguesma.
Right-sizing as compared to downsizing are2 different apples. In right-sizing, one needs to account all activities in a certain department( ensure that there are no duplication of functions) then determine how many required FTEs. Downsizing is mostly related to decrease in profit
especially BIR, so many staff in a single RDO, they should be replaced asap with automated systems.
