[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my agency you younger graduates will work for about 2 years or so and then move to private industry.

DOGE and republicans have pretty much made the working conditions worse than private industry and the pay is lower, so fed employment is just a step on the way to a career.

Assume the current administration doesn't want qualified people to actually stay, so it's a win win for them. Once the current supervisors who are constantly restraining everyone retire, we'll see what happens. [/quote]

OPM doesn’t want longterm feds. I think they’re betting that AI can do everything Feds are currently doing.[/quote]

Why do you say that?[/quote]

I would love to job hop and do different things, learning new things, but no one hires 50 years old that way. Also young people job hop because of remote work or more mobility (partly because they can’t afford to buy homes and have kids).

Honestly I am skeptical of what value an employee that is there for just 2 years even brings? They learn the systems and processes and then contribute for maybe 18 months, than leave?  Unless they came in for a particular problem like a consultant or to build something simple like an ad campaign, it doesn’t support longer term multi year projects with staff churn. It works in tech because they are mostly making apps and such; I think with the AI efforts people will stay longer because those are much longer and more complicated engineering efforts. [/quote]

Job hopping boosts income in a competitive job market, but has limited value to employers. So OPM wants basically to have a jobs program for young Republicans, and then leave for lobbying jobs?  They aren’t going to do anything in that time, but I guess other hiring is down. [/quote]

Yep the goal is a two year term workforce in perpetuity

I’m very open about trying different things and shaking up a system. I don’t automatically shut down ideas for idealogical reasons. I like to see where things take us.

This is stupid. Those early career folks won’t be able to find the bathroom within their term. They won’t have enough experience to hit the ground running. It will be a never ending cycle of teaching over and over and NASA not benefiting from was learned. I could see a term of 5 years being more realistic but 1-2 years is a waste of everyone’s time and energy. [/quote]

NASA isn’t supposed to be benefiting from this. NASA and the federal gov is supposed to serve as a job training ground for the private sector. The private sector is who will benefit from this. Please read Project 2025.[/quote]
