[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This! There might have been dead weight decades ago but the agencies I’ve worked at are very lean. Now with boomers retiring, it’s pretty painful.[/quote]
Boomers retiring and Millennials having better options. They don’t need the health insurance because most companies provide that benefit and those that do not have access to the ACA. [/quote]

Most of my team are millennials. But I think because of the decades spent slamming the government, folks don’t want to work for it.[/quote]

Well, I worked in a few different federal agencies and I can tell you, it's a bear to get anything done.

There are gatekeepers and politics everywhere, so you have to get a zillion signatures to get anything done.

This government has the agility of a Koala Bear when doing things, but it knows how to collect taxes and write checks, because 70% of the federal spending is transfer payments from one person to another... and DCUM is scared to death of that going away.[/quote]

I thought it would get better at my agency as some of the more senior people retired. It’s only getting worse. [/quote]
