[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every agency has its own dead-weight, and you could get to 100,000 just getting rid of them. The problem being is that the entire federal system is about keeping those people in their jobs.

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

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Wrong again! Everyone in my agency is overworked.

Our agency’s budget hasn’t increased much over the past 5 years. [/quote]

OMB puts out historical tables: [url]https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/historical-tables/[/url] 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. [/quote]
