I'm pretty sure that those of us who are fortunate enough to be employed are finding that most companies are decreasing their staff size & allowing the still employed to take on additional responsibilities. It FEELS SO GOOD![sarcasm]

Why is it then that whenever I am on the road sitting in traffic due to road work, when I come upon the road crew there still seems to be numerous individuals standing, sitting and or leaning on a shovel smoking a butt? Time for a career change I reckon![ram27bat]

My favorite is when they close down miles of road for "Road Work Ahead" and then there's no one even there.

You'd be surprised what some of those jobs pay...

In Wyoming there are two seasons. Winter. And road construction...

Got a similar situation near my house.

Scenario:

Replace an old two lane bridge with a four lane bridge. Use on new lane as a left turn lane so right lane traffic is not held up. Use other new lane to create two turn lanes that bottle neck into one lane.

Project has been underway at least a year. About 6 months ago they opened the new bridge with two lanes. Stil working on the other lanes. On a good day, I might see 5 workers.
