[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy’s professional career background is … Pinterest and a small e-commerce platform. It’s almost as if his paltry experience in a narrow area had nothing to do with a 500,000 employee large health and social services system like the VA! At least he is the teeny tiniest bit self-aware enough to sort of discern that. [/quote]

Right?

[b]What the people that cheer this on don't realize is the fact that fired government workers are going to come to take their jobs.  They are overqualified, overeducated, understaffed, and overworked.  Once they get a taste of that sweet private sector life there might not be any going back.[/b][/quote]

I have never worked as hard in the private sector as I did when I was a Fed.

What people don't realize is that with many fed jobs, your schedule can change without your say so. You can suddenly be notified that you'll be working 7-3 or 4/10s. That doesn't happen in the private sector. I had set breaks as a fed. You had to train your bladder for 10:15 and 2:30. Not hungry at 11:45 for lunch? Too bad because that's your lunch time.

[b]The most appealing part of being a fed, besides the pretty decent insurance and retirement, was the job security. You couldn't be fired on a whim like in the private sector. But that appeal is gone now because this admin has proven that feds can be fired on a whim without any cause[/b].  [/quote]

I thought everyone knew this, I'm astonished that some don't.  [/quote]

Every week since DOGE started at least two feds I know at work have resigned or early retired. If this keeps up there will only be staff from about age 40-60 left by the summer, basically those who have too many years in to stop now, and are old enough that age discrimination is going to affect them.

Musk got his legal problems solved and a lot of government contracts, but the ability to recruit competent federal workers is going to be shattered for decades. [/quote]
