[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not very scientific but I hired to govt workers in the past two years, both did not last long. One three months the other nine months.

One women with 15 years all govt experience doing exact thing I hired her for to do commented I have her one project per month to do and finish Her govt job gave her 4 projects a year to do. I was giving her 4x the work she claimed.

The guy somehow he treated sick days, personal days and floating holidays like a kid in a cookie jar.  Plus on in office days he was loose with the arrival time and leaving times.

His state job he mainly worked alone and had long deliverable dates. He could not get used to working certain hours each day. And he had big issues that in corporate, sick days are very very rarely taken and only when you are sick. He kept taking days for an eye exam, check up, dentist and he had issued that is not sick time. But I could allow him to take off just for time it takes to get check up,

Both loved reading HR manual looking for loop holes and both seem surprised a bit that me as their manager could fire them at any time, not give them a raise and not give them a bonus.

For both one was 42 and other 50 this was their first non State or Govt job. Both went back to State and Govt jobs    [/quote]

Odd that a federal employee could not understand working specific hours since that is a big requirement for a fed job.[/quote]

Also odd that they expected bonuses since we don’t get those.[/quote]

Feds get (smallish) bonuses [/quote]
