[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when republicans in congress care about federal workers?[/quote]

That's another huge difference between the parties -

Democrats respect, value and support federal workers,
Republicans demonize, attack and vilify federal workers.[/quote]

agreed

and that is why I always vote Red.[/quote]

i worked as government contractor at GSA and Pentagon.    you could fire 50% of the employess and the offices would NOT skip a beat.

and everyone claimed they were so so busy, and yet they left at 3:30 every day.  and still found time to work out/ play bball every day. [/quote]

As a former fed manager I agree with the fact that there are some very "unproductive" employees.  They all have manages.  The issue IMO is the senior management and HR won't allow any meaningful discipline to occur.  They'd rather pass along/park these employees and ignore them so the agency doesn't get sued.  It's a big part of why I left.  They ones who do work, are amazingly competent and dedicated and I really do miss their commitment to the mission and drive.[/quote]

This happens every single day in the private sector as well. I don't know why people are acting like every employee at their non-fed job is a golden child genius. I have worked with a TON of incompetent idiots over the years who should have been fired. That's just the population. [/quote]

And the nepotism and cronyism of the private sector: someone's kid, or nephew, or friend's daughter gets hired just because of who they know. Or who they sleep with, or whatever.  Management blogs are full of questions like "my co-worker does nothing, but she's best friends with the boss -- what do I do?"

Come on. [/quote]
