Let's see. We haven't even seen this supposed e-mail so we don't know what it says.

In addition, we do know that even large (more than fifty employees) employers are not affected by the employer mandate until 2015.

In addition, we have seen other employers cut employee benefits and claiming that those changes were required by the Affordable Care Act (like the dropping of spousal coverage) when we know that those claims have been lies.

So in this context you really expect us to believe that this employer is somehow being forced to do this by President Obama?

The part time status has to be in place for one year for the IRS to accept it as part of obamacare.
Did you not know this ?
The mandate was pushed back one year on employers so now more will jump on this part time bandwagon to avoid fees, penalties and mandated high cost insurance coverage.

Required or inspired, for the impacted employee the results are no different.

No loss. David's Bridal is like the dollar store. Inferior merchandise. Plus divorce rate in US is now over 60% due to the economy.

So let me see if I understand your position.

All of the companies, are harming their employees, and thus their own businesses, are doing this just to make Obama look bad?

Yes. Because the government law is in place to protect you.
So all these cancellations and cut back in hours is because the government wants to protect YOU.

The sheer lack of understanding of the invisable hand of the market in your post is astounding.

Actually it shines the understanding. If they make less money then they qualify for "government help".
That poster must be a big government savior fan.
