[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how many agencies are hiring lately and apparently have gotten applicants. How is that possible after the year of abuse — RIFs, doge, cancellation of TW and CBAs, low or zero pay raises, 5 bullets, criticism and insults, etc etc.

If any private company did something like that, they’d never get away with it — nobody would apply to work there for a long time. So how does the federal government get away with it? [/quote]

Because, look around, people are desperate to work! [/quote]

I do look around. All I see our McMansions and fancy private schools and cars abd restaurants.  Doesn’t seem very desperate to me. Maybe some people like abuse. Daddy issues? [/quote]

Right, the federal employee mansions and fancy cars  :roll:

The job market sucks, this area is full of people who got laid off (feds, contractors, private sector), and the usual candidate pipelines, like law firms and military, are still churning people out as they always have. So yes, people will apply for jobs because they need jobs.

The main takeaway from the surge in openings is not "how can people apply," it's "look how many experienced people we lost, and now have to go through the overhead of replacing." Such a waste. [/quote]
