[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this proves is that the federal workforce is overloaded with Democrats who are paranoid and should be purged not for political affiliation but for irrationality. [/quote]

Or the fact that you can take a “long vacation” and your work just sits there and waits for you? The government is so bloated. Many people need to be fired. My dad had a guy who literally didn’t show up for a year and wasn’t fired. All those slickers need to go. [/quote]

People are so bizarre. The OP is talking about taking a week off next summer…Yeesh

I’m a fed - people in my office work really hard for a lot less money than they could make in the private sector. We do work less than we would in private but we make like a 1/3 or even less of private sector salaries and people are still working plenty of evening, weekends, checking email on vacations and even pulling all nighters in some cases. The quality of the work is also quite high. It is not easy to get a job in my office and people have been let go when they aren’t working out during their probationary period.

I am sure there are lazy feds and I’ve come across a few duds in other offices I deal with who are some combination of lazy and dim BUT that’s a very small percentage. I deal with a lot of people and most are very good and extremely hardworking professional positions that require graduate and advanced degrees

Some of the lower level admin and HR functions I would say it’s a different story.

If you haven’t worked in govt you don’t realize how complex things are and how fulfilling any given function involves a lot of behind the scenes work to make happen. [/quote]
