If this was an option for you, you'd be doing that right now.

It is an option for many fed employees. The people working at NIH and FDA are mainly MDs and PhDs that can make way more money in private industry.

I make sure that your diabetes, depression, high blood pressure medicine, etc are safe. You are welcome!

Including FBI, CIA, NSA? And stop sharing intelligence info with our allies? It doesn’t make sense. The US and our allies are under constant threat of terrorist attacks. We already know Iran has infiltrated or even outright lead some of the Palestinian protests. The US would be a lot less safe if their plan went through.

It makes sense if you want to destroy the country.

Heaven forbid anyone has to actually perform in their job and can be fired for doing bad jobs. Being basically impossible to fire while collecting paychecks for doing nothing is absurd.

Where do I sign up for the 6 figure job?

—18 year fed who regularly works 45-50 hours to finish all my work load. Without overtime.

With a significantly heavier workload, less benefits, and less job security. They would also learn about a little thing they currently lack, accountability.

If Trump can cut that Gordian knot, then you'd have a cheaper and better federal bureaucracy.

My agency is sorely under staffed and many of us are doing 2 people’s jobs. I work extra unpaid hours every week just to get the work done because I had to absorb the duties of someone who left. You sound hateful and ignorant.

And you sound naive and lack reading comprehension. Every agency has some people who do real important work. Most also have deadweight employees and wasteful make-work programs that add zero real value for taxpayers.

My husband is a fed. He think Trump will try to reclassify job but it will take years of lawsuits from the various Fed unions for anything to actually happen

I think the issue is with Executive Order, he can do whatever he wants.

So does every single corporation that I have ever worked at. Have you never worked with incompetent do nothings?

You're probably doing 2 people's jobs because your agency is full of people doing between 0.0 and 0.5 jobs. What is your agencies budget compared to five years ago?

Senior leaders, the people on the chopping block here, are the ones that prioritize pet projects and protecting poor performers. You should be blaming them for being over-worked.

Wrong again! Everyone in my agency is overworked.

Our agency’s budget hasn’t increased much over the past 5 years.

OMB puts out historical tables: https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/historical-tables/ Table 4.1 shows outlays by agency. Total outlays are up 56% from 2019. Cumulative inflation is up around 29% over that period.

There should be plenty of resources to go around, and if there isn't its a problem with workers or managers. Either the workers are less productive than have been in the past, or agency execs are misallocating resources. Possibly both. This isn't a budget problem.

It's drastically easier to terminate an employee in the private sector vs the government. That means that the government does, generally, have more dead weight than the private sector. And the high performers pick up the dead weight-- they HAVE to because the agencies can't fire the lower performers and replace them with team players.

Executive orders can be tied up in courts for a long time.

I would welcome some sort of buyout on Jan 20. I'd be gone so fast....
