[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not counting on FERS and SS. They need to do something about FERS because it is drain to the treasury even after being self-paid liability. [/quote]

Agree, also paying govt employees.  The treasury would be in a better position if they worked for free.[/quote]

Well, some of the Govt employees are just dead weight and don't have to be at the positions where they are at right now. Get rid of 1/3rd of the employees and you won't feel a difference. [/quote]
Are you really willing to give up on 1/3 of meat inspectors, National Park staff, Federal highway workers, weather forecast,  cancer researchers, FEMA ?[/quote]

Cuts are needed, but need to be surgical.  Get rid of the excess laptop warriors sitting at home "working" with a mouse jiggler who are watching Netflix, if they're even home at all. [/quote]

DH is a fed who works from home three days/week, and I can assure you that he works longer hours during his telework days than his in-office days. All the time that he would have spent commuting is now in front of his computer, and he's typically uninterrupted from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.[/quote]

DP.  But is anything actually getting accomplished?  I'm a fed too and I'm in meetings, on phone calls, and doing work for sometimes 10, 11 hours a day.  But I can assure you much of it is mostly made-up nonsense.  That's what needs to be cut out -- the periphery b.s. and just attend to the actual mission of the agency.

And address feds who won't do their work, instead of hiring contractors to do it instead.  Taxpayers are, in too many cases, paying for an FTE *and* a contractor to do the same job.  [/quote]
