Federal employees step up defiance of Trump

Fire every fricking one of them.

A handful of current and former career staffers in the Interior Department and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have openly shredded their superiors within the last several weeks, continuing a trend that has developed throughout the government over the course of Trump’s tenure in the Oval Office.
quote:
Public employee advocates said staffers are still feeling the whiplash brought on by a new administration, even six months after Trump took office in January
quote:
Even so, Ruch expected employees to power forward, and doesn't expect an “exodus” of retirements, or that as many EPA employees will take agency buyouts as officials expect.

Introduce them to the unemployment line.

Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, pointed to news reports about upset employees, social media campaigns and “civil disobedience” training for staffers looking to push back against the White House.
GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak, a contributor to The Hill, attributed the blowback to a host of factors, from the political make-up of civil servants to the use of holdover officials in government offices that are still waiting for the Senate to confirm Trump political appointees. Fire every fricking one of them.

Here's something I just do not get:
If you are a federal employee in DC and elsehwere, and you absolutely hate your new boss, why not just quit instead of actively seeking to harm the functioning of of the government?
Leakers, disobeyers, the employees described in this article.... what exactly are you doing to help? You are making things WORSE by being defiant. You undermine security, you undermine government performing basic duties, and you make every citizen's life WORSE by using your employment as a means to protest the president. It is the height of selfishness.
If you are a federal employees and cannot stand trump....... THEN QUIT

They are paid to do nothing. Why would they quit when they basically show up and push their work load to contractors?

Because.
quote:
The EPA called Schnare’s climate “false and “wildly untrue,” and a spokesman questioned whether Southerland was retiring “because of a budget proposal, and not because she’s eligible for her six-figure government pension.”

The real world is coming at them like a freight train speeding down the tracks and they aren't smart enough to to get out the way

I wish this were true...
The deep state and shadow backers are far more powerful than Trump or the movement to throw the bums out...

I hate them who the F do they think they are!!!

In his defense, it's a very poorly written article

I know contractors here have a zero tolerance policy...just being arrested will get you fired...guilty or not, but these fricks finish up under budget and go out and buy tools and take home, go in...overtime and do nothing. Also, I can't count how many times I've heard NASA and the Army govt employees (in their 50's and up, GS-15 plus) say, "I'd retire, but I make so much money and don't do shite". a want is a prime example. Oh and nepotism is the law of the land here. My friend/boss passed away back in 2010 from What MCain has...his widow remarried one of these I'd quit guys, His son is at Bama, started out in engineering school, last I talked to him it was basically getting a degree in basket weaving. "It really doesn't matter what degree I get anyway because my dad...and mom" (who makes more money than his dad and is at the Pentagon and every other week) "will get me a job." 35 years of hearing this kind of shite...sickening.

They better chill before they get a forced retirement.
Posted on 8/5/17 at 7:21 pm to Jbird
No wonder. They might have to actually work if they even stay on the gravey train

I'm a military officer in DoD on a base in DC. First shore duty, first with GS's. Some are good, most of the expats are good. But a lot of the FedGov employees with "years of experience" are fricking terrible. Can't make them do shite and they've been screwing up or doing one thing a day for years. It's impossible to fire them even if they commit a crime, unless it's criminal high dollar fraud. And they're raking in more than other regions with DC wage grades.
What I've noticed going through the buildings on base is there are hardly any Trump pictures on quaterdecks. Either no picture or the POTUS frame was completely removed. Pieces of shite.

Lot of Federal of employees where I work detest Trump
Cracks me up how they say they are in the middle, but constantly quote articles from HuffPo and the only thing they listen to is NPR.
They all did the Science March and March for Women too.
I'm a stranger in a foreign land ha
