Probably some of the more competent employees are out of there. They're more marketable for other jobs. | |||

So the person quoted is upset that they got rid of diversity programs and doesn't like that the politician from the opposing party won. She wants to move overseas... Well, I guess that 9 months of salary and benefits last a while. Isn't this a voluntary buyout? I would guess that a lot of senior folks close to retirement might grab this. There could well be some institutional memory loss and loss of more experienced folks. More power to him if this is getting rid of dead wood. However, the unions objecting seems a bit odd- voluntary 9 month separation packages are pretty generous. I suppose the best reason to take this is if you know you can get a near compatible job without any trouble... make 6 months pay for nothing (assuming it takes 3 months to get into the new position). We all know that the government is full of redundancies. USAID and the state department for giving out foreign aid as an example. HHS and DoEd as another. Heck, from my area, NIH and the CDC. Get rid of half the administrative overhead and increase the grants... sounds like a winning idea if Trump can do it without bad favoritism. | |||

Where is the money for these buyouts coming from? The Constitution says that Congress has all power to appropriate money and direct the Executive on how it is spent, and none has been appropriated for buyouts. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

by your "logic" the executive is REQUIRED to spend all funds-- trump is offering to pay them through 9/30 -- which exactly covers the fiscal year -- let me know if you need help with any other deep questions such as how much dirt is there in a hole of ANY dimensions is water wet or, fan favorite, why, when i trip, do i fall DOWN 100% of the time ... these are life's little mysteries opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Has anyone noticed that over time good paying skilled jobs, with benefits such as co-contributing retirement plans and health insurance, generous vacation and sick leave with pay, all protected with employment agreement or contract, have practically vanished. One remaining such place is in fed govt. I don't know about State, but municipal govts got rid of some if not all such benefits. GOPers talk about loyalists, but govt employment isn't as attractive as it used to be, especially Trump's new version. Lots of BS, short term employment, at will termination, little long-term incentive. In Corp America, such benefits have migrated to the top. It's a function of shareholder bottom line for corps and the fiscal budget for govt. I believe this is an indirect result of GOPer ideology slowly eating the bottom rung of society and working up the ladder. Yet GOPers want to squeeze more. ************* “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.” George Orwell, 1984 https://www.google.com/search?...sclient=gws-wiz-serp Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it". Degenerate 1:2 2 Then Trump said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay on your behalf." Degenerate 1:3 3 "My Kingdom come, My will be done." "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." - Sinclair Lewis O.J. Trump aka Trumpism's Founding Farter, aka Farter Martyr. "Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health." - Albert Camus | |||

We all like benefits, but gov benefits come directly from taxpayers money so there has to be some accountability and that accountability seems not being there…attitude of fed employees, unfriendliness and I can keep going Here in The West, it is Forest service, BLM, USPS mainly Attitude city and mostly no help when asked, but not all of course Never been lost, just confused here and there for month or two | |||

Unions object to anything which reduces their membership and the amount of money coming in. Union leadership counts on those dues to finance their lavish lifestyle. Getting a comparable job might be a little tough. Not that many jobs that offer a decent pay and benefit package for doing sweet eff-all. Bill | |||

A big boo-boo was allowing unionization of government employees. In the old days, government jobs meant stability, relatively low wages, and a livable retirement. By now, there is a reason why Loudon County VA has a median income three times the rest of the country. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right.
