[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sen. Coburn wants to start firing feds who are 'not productive'.   He thinks this will prevent furloughs....  I'm speechless!

What's the problem? I wish they would fire the deadbeats. That's what they'd do in te private sector.[/quote]

I'm a Fed and I wish it would happen, too, but it never will. I'd love to know how they plan to identify which workers are "doing nothing". It's not like we work in a factory assembling widgets and can just look to see who has produced the least . . .[/quote]

I'm also a Fed and think this should happen.  Our agency had one guy who would just not show up whenever he felt like it and never once completed any assignment than anyone knew about. Anytime a manager would say something, he would start screaming about discrimination.  The managers knew they'd have to spend an inordinate amount of time defending themselves, so they just let it go.  This went on for the first seven years I worked here before a new manager came in and fired him.  We still have deadweights, but at least they show up and pretend to work.[/quote]
