A city spokesperson said Friday that seven provisional city employees were laid off before this weekend.
The layoffs were part of first stages of an overall plan to reduce the municipal workforce by 10 percent, Mayor David Roberts and Fiscal Monitor Judy Tripodi stated in a joint press release on Friday. The layoffs were not performance based, the city said.
The city has also lost 43 employees through retirement over the past year, officials said.

They are probably not high on the pay scale either...

Thank god something is happening. I feel sorry for the people being laid off, but it has to happen. It's not like I've never been laid off. It sucks, but it's life.
