[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When private sector people get let go, downsized or fired, there is no sympathy, and it is just another day. When federal employees, who get paid back, or for a load there is a lot of woah is me and hand wringing. They will be OK. It’s more of a well now it’s your turn to feel what we’ve all felt before.[/quote] See, this is where many people get it wrong. Federal jobs are inherently different from private sector jobs, otherwise there would be no need for them to exist. The long-standing tradeoff has been job security for specialized skills. When that job security goes away, the result is much worse for fired Feds because those skills/knowledge don’t transfer well to the private sector.[/quote]
