A hiring spree in 2030s of much younger, AI skilled and IT savvy Fed workers.

The Boomers, GenX and most of millennial gone by 2030 to be replaced by Gen Z and Gen alpha people from 2030 to 2040.

Imagine it is 2035 and a Democratic President and Fed offices are filled wirh young, cool and trendy people with Google like offices.

I agree with you OP. The federal workforce will thrive under President JD Vance or perhaps even President Marco Rubio.

+1 It will be President Rubio in a landslide!

There was a lot of fat with some of the fed agencies and their support contractors. Our work is actually more efficient after some of the dead weight is gone.

This isn't great for the government.

Federal government work is mired in bureaucracy and projects can take a long time. Think years not months. This isn't something that can or should change because there are tons of laws and rules that need to be followed and many layers of review. Constant turnover of young people will keep projects from ever leaving the ground.

Lol lol I wish I had the time and energy to explain it to you like your five but I don't. So I'll keep it simple: no.

I'm a lawyer who trains other lawyers and in general our GenZ hires are simply not hitting the numbers the millennials hit.

Keep dreaming

Our right yo vote is going away nothing is getting better

It's cute that OP thinks GenX and Millennial federal employees could all afford to retire by 2030.

There is only a small pension that maybe replaced 30 some percent of salary, plus whatever money you save.

I don't think the you get generations realize that many of the "good" federal benefits stopped in the 1990s. "Being cool" isn't going to pay your rent or heat bill.

So no.

Exactly. No.

Anyone who has half a brain is never going to consider a federal career at this point.

The federal government will now have to pay top dollar AND reinstate job stability to lure bright people into federal service. If you can just be fired at any time, it's best just to work for the private sector.

Well competent, experienced and dedicated would probably run government better than young, cool and trendy.

Remember OP and Gen Z…you will one day, if you are lucky, to be older. The things you wish on us Gen X and millennials will be even worse for you. No one stays young forever.

OP there are thousands of well educated and high quality Federal workers that were already in place doing tremendous work for the American public. You are feeding into the false narrative provided by the GOP that we are somehow less than that. It’s not true at all. The quality was already there but the GOP is in this propaganda mode to make you think otherwise and undermine good paying jobs that provided security and stability to some of the best people you could hire in the USA. We have Ivy League, people who speak multiple languages, people who served in the military and who are trained meticulously to run teams efficiently and with class and distinction, we have people from all 50 states and US territories that serve the American public because we love our country. Trump and his cronies have ruined all of that and now want the government to shrink so much by firing people and not funding budgets so that they can say it doesn’t work. And they want to replace us with people who believe in their cult who literally have no experience in what they do. Bottom line is that the federal employees we have and had were excellent for the most part. So no, it’s not going to be better a few years from now. It will be worse, especially now with AI taking over everything that is to Trump and his tech brows too.

The one common theme since time immemorial is that old geezers are always complaining that the next generation is going to hell.
