I think the intention is good: To get people that only come work for the city year after year to become motivated and actually do something better than weed-whacking (seriously, 3 or 4 summers in a row weed-whacking? Come on) - thus ensuring years or decades of high tax income.

However, the reality is that 95% of the people at these sessions don't care. They should just drop this and work them to the bone right off the bat.

Oh wait, they can't do that either...I bet they can't even drop the orientation session because of the union. We can keep blaming the city though, even though they have their hands completely tied on almost every matter relating to city workers.
