You are hired as a team of consultants to work with the City of New York. As we are still in the middle of a pandemic which has caused an economic collapse with federal aid not forthcoming from Washington, DC, you are tasked with achieving a 20% PEG (program to eliminate the gap) for your agency line. The Mayor and the Governor are at their wit's end in keeping the city and state financially afloat. Layoffs should be a last resort. What is your current budget? What is a 20% cut to your budget? What is the first thing you would cut? How does the political landscape impact your decision? What risks to the City are there by implementing this PEG? Can you achieve this cut without layoffs?
