For all the downsides of Trump forcing current Fed workers out, doing hiring freezes and making it miserable so you quit will this be bright side?
A hiring spree in 2030s of much younger, AI skilled and IT savvy Fed workers. The Boomers, GenX and most of millennial gone by 2030 to be replaced by Gen Z and Gen alpha people from 2030 to 2040. Imagine it is 2035 and a Democratic President and Fed offices are filled wirh young, cool and trendy people with Google like offices. |

| The younger and tech-savvier employees left disproportionately. More of them were probationary, the tech groups got hit the hardest, and in a couple of cases they were coordinated enough and employable enough to organize mass resignations. Why would more people like that come back? What does the government have to offer them? |

| Why would anyone able to get a job somewhere else want a government job? The illusion of serving the public good is permanently shattered. The illusion of nonpolitical security is shattered. |

OP I am serious. When I was young I interview ed at a Fed and a state job. Everyone was old, grumpy and frumpy and offices and systems outdated. I was told selling point a job for life and the thought of spending 40 years in what looked liked a nursing home when I was 22 made me want to run away.
I am sure I was not only young person who felt that way. |

| Younger people are much dumber and don't know how to do anything but use apps. |

Those organizations still exist and the younger and tech-savvier ones do not. |

I was a good quality, young federal worker in the 1990s.
I took a federal job because it was a recession and companies weren't hiring. I left to make more money, but with a good impression of federal government workers. My agency colleagues were on par with the workers at the F500 corporation I ended up working for after grad school. Most had Master's degrees from good schools. The federal government can offer intellectually interesting work in a number of areas. Stability of management and respect for public service (currently missing) would go a long way. |

I am a GS-14 lawyer with over a decade of experience and I make less than a first year associate at a big law firm, and increasingly some smaller firms.
The gap increases every year and will eventually pull me out of federal service. You’re not going to get highly skilled people without paying them and it doesn’t look like that will happen anytime soon. |

| Why would you think millennials will be gone by 2030? They will be around age 34-50 at that time. |

| My college professor friends tell me students’ reading, writing, and analysis skills are poorer than ever. So, no, OP, I don’t think so. |
