[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean you might have to move so you live within 2 hours of where you work.[/quote]

Uprooting your life for a fed job that could easily be RIF’d is insane. [/quote]
Living two hours from society and relying on remote work—with your useless federal experience and unusual degrees only qualify you for obscure federal positions that have no private-sector demand—is truly insane.

I live inside the beltway and walking distance to a metro, but many of my younger colleagues could not afford my neighborhood and/or have spouses who have job in the suburbs.

Also, saying that someone shouldn’t move their life for a fed job under this administration isn’t exactly crazy. It would similarly be dumb to move for a private sector job with pending layoffs and an antagonistic CEO.

Just because you don’t want to move for fed work doesn’t mean you can’t find a different job and don’t have skills that transfer. But you can also be sad about having to leave a job you enjoyed and had otherwise planned to stay at.

And for those who have no sympathy for feds, you have absolutely zero right to complain if your food and drugs aren’t properly tested, your SS claims take forever to process, transportation safety is deregulated, etc.

No one has to work these fed jobs. We don’t owe the country our labor. If the salary, benefits, and work/life balance isn’t worth it then these positions will not get filled. This is already an issue in certain positions like ATC and agencies that did too many layoffs and are scrambling to get people back. If you vilify certain sectors and the pay is lacking then there will be staffing shortages. Just look at all the schools having a hard time to find teacher and hospitals with nursing shortages. Now you can start adding many fed roles to the list.[/quote]
