[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private sector been targeting for years, we gotta work for a living or get fired

No one cares[/quote]

Exactly.

Companies like IBM, Xerox, Kodak, Westinghouse, US Steel, ATT, the auto companies 
, etc., etc. have laid off / cut the jobs of hundreds of thousands. The private sector had to change to survive. Job security is a relic of the past.

Now it’s the Federal Government’s turn. And it’s looooong overdue.

And in the private sector you have to produce something that’s a foreign concept to Government people. That’s RESULTS. [/quote]

During my master's program I was an intern at a federal agency  and was placed in charge of producing a congressionally-mandated report on a housing issue.  I had worked in the private sector before grad school and just treated it like a private sector job.   No one told me that I couldn't make hidebound GS-13s actually work so that I could produce the report.  They hated me because I gave them deadlines and then enforced them.  I worked on the report for nine months and it was the first report from that agency ever sent to Congress not only on time -- but ahead of time.  I  voluntarily ended my year long internship and went racing back to the private sector.   [/quote]

No one told you, the intern, that you couldn’t control the priorities of GS-13s.  And your grade was ?[/quote]

That poster is hilarious.  Especially considering they think they should get a gold star for sending a report of dubious quality in “on time”… suffering from that tech bro sickness of it counts if it can be measured.  It’s easy to measure dates and times, not so easy to measure how bad PP’s report was.[/quote]
