[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to sequestration, we can't fill vacant positions at my agency. [/quote] +1, we have lots of "vacancies" that will never be filled. We don't have the money. When we do hire in the upper grades (14/15) it usually is an internal-only opening so that our own people can advance their careers, but then their former lower-grade position is often not filled. FWIW, I'm GenX and I don't think brain drain is a thing: plenty of GenXers and older Millennials have been working in their agencies for 10+ years now, they know the job and have the institutional knowledge. I think the big threat to the Federal workforce is that we are not hiring people to replace the Boomers who are retiring, and we are not spending money to train anybody of any age. [/quote]
