[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it sucks, but it’s just putting Federal workers on a level footing with the vast majority of Americans. Why should Feds have more job security than the rest of us? Maybe it’s time for all Americans to have better workers rights, but I don’t think Feds should be some protected class. If eliminating Federal jobs leads to better efficiencies and cost savings for taxpayers, then so be it. [/quote]

Because good people won’t work as feds if every 4 years this is liable to happen. That’s why the merit based civil service was formed. You’ll have to raise the pay to above private levels to compensate for that uncertainty. Plus the greater job security ensures expertise is not lost every 4 years[/quote]

Also, extremely important point that many are glossing over — feds have protections that private sector employees don’t have because we serve the constitution not the president.  If a president is violating the law, civil servant needs to be protected from being dismissed simply for voicing dissent. Or worse, refusing to obey illegal orders.  It’s happening already.  Most Americans have not a clue.  It’s the saddest I’ve been about the state of our country.[/quote]
