Training

There are many ways to train someone into a new behavior.  Reward is great but punishment can be effective as well.

Obamacare is training companies and institutions to establish new working limits for hundreds of workers.  It's just begun to hit people.  Their employer will not be supplying health care but simply cutting hours to avoid penalties.

Several articles over the past few months have sounded shocked that this is the course employers are taking.  Cutting hours.

In November it came out through the Huffington Post that 200 adjunct faculty members and 200 additional employees will have hours reduced at a community college in Alleghany County.

In January it was reported that the Wendy's of Nebraska would be cutting hours to avoid Obamacare penalties and that the Stark State College in Ohio has decided that part time employees and all adjunct staff will be limited to 29 hours per week on work assignments .

If one uses punishment to redirect behavior, one must not be surprised at the limits the trainee will go to to avoid consequences.
