Explanation:
This contains a contraction error. Here is the corrected version:
Budgets were reduced by 15% in 2009, yet our workload increased 34%. Even with the increased workload, I shouldn't have (better: should not have) hired additional staff.
Should have contracts to should've.
Should not contracts to shouldn't
Should of is grammatically incorrect. Should have, should not have or shouldn't have is correct.
