[quote=Anonymous]I'm a fed employee with about three and a half years until I'm eligible for retirement and keeping that sweet, sweet subsidized healthcare into retirement (assuming congress doesn't mess that up, of course).  Logically, I should just keep my head down and put in the next three and a half years.  But good lord, the work is awful lately.  Part of it is the whole effort to make fed lives miserable, like 5-day in-office policies.  But the work itself is just...pointless.  At best, I'm writing memos recommending things that will never happen because this administration is much more about deleting regulations than doing anything.  And my bosses are so afraid that our jobs will be eliminated that they're spending all their time creating busywork that duplicates work other parts of my agency already does.  The thought of another three-and-a-half years of this is depressing.  I'm so tempted to say "screw it" and go into the private sector (or to a state government job), even though I know that it may not be a good idea financially.

How are other feds handling this?  [/quote]
