Opinion If you thought the federal workforce was bad before it's going to be absolute shit by the time Trump and Elon are done with it

[GolovKing]

One of the things about working for the government is it was always seen as a secure job that made up for it having lower wages compared to jobs in the private sector. Now Trump and Elon have shown that even job security for federal employees is not really a thing. So who's gonna even want to work for the government now? People who couldn't get a job anywhere else?

I also think that the hard anti federal employee stance that Trump has taken with Elon along with other Trump Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene is gonna cost them some votes as well. Many federal employees are Republican, or were at least

The federal government is bloated and corrupt so it needs to be cut. I know people that became right wing or libertarian after working for the government due to how lazy and incompetent federal workers were. There are many people telling similar stories about when they saw and worked in government.

I like the underlying blackmail of the "better keep the government apparatus bloated and inefficient or else".

What federal workforce?

 

[sanguinius]

I, for one, think that my tax dollars should always be given to babysit useless people with pointless jobs. Heartbreaking.

Or perhaps it is simp!y not wise to just go in and take an axe to everything you don't like, without first analyzing the impact of making drastic changes overnight. It appears none of these brilliant minds in Musk administration have taken an introductory course in risk management.

Virginia has the largest population of federal workers if I remember correctly. Will be interesting to see if this dumb shit pushes VA blue

Gotta love the weirdo eastern European who larps as a Nazi maga on a karate forum and has never been to America knows all about American bureaucratic inefficiencies.

If only they had done the proper research, then they would have agreed with your opinion about government waste, which is objective and correct.

And I wouldn't count on Trump to make anything less corrupt

What risk? Kick out all the dei parasites and there's probably tens of thousands of posts taken out and massive savings from that alone. All dei hires are retarded and incompetent. The government would greatly benefit from that alone.

Their aren't that many dei jobs to fire. That was just for headlines. Most of the jobs they fired were just them targeting certain agencies and certain positions indiscriminately. Their is no effort being made to filter out good from bad employees, increase standards or reduce corruption or any of that stuff.

Lol I bet there are. Every department probably has some dei officer. At the level of the US government the number is probably as I said# tens of thousands. Massive upside. Cut that, cut the dei parasite industries like all the horseshit privilege training seminars they forced people to attend, and make huge savings.

Even if that was true, their are only 15 departments within the federal government

As long as you terrapin sinister and the other just babble back and forth to one another you can be really surprised when it doesn’t happen. Then you can say everyone else is a nazi. Also they’ve been blue for over a decade with one republican governor. Seems like he would be more of a blip than going the other way but I know I know your vagina hurts

it's a good start.
if you want competence, why not start by kicking out those that were not hired because of competence?

Gut the whole fucking thing.
