[quote=Anonymous]Reading this and other fired fed threads, I think my takeaway is that some feds lived in a culture or mindset of learned helplessness. Not all. Some are feisty and used to scrapping to get their due in a hostile or discriminatory workplace. My bet is the latter will do better, having maintained their home backup employment records, updated resumes, and contacts.

BTW "entitled" when I used it in some responses above eg 12:05 referred to the "I don't have to maintain my records, resume, or develop and nurture contacts" position some seem to be finding themselves in.

I was a fed on and off, starting as a equivalent of a GS 9 NTE and ending as a GS15 who quit because managing people who would not do their assigned work and said to my face, " I can retire in 2 years and it would take you longer than that to get rid of me so live with it " was not my cup of tea. That was a large agency. Working on the Hill was better. People hustled and/or were committed and passionate.
