re: Your federal hiring freeze at work

know a chick who works for Teaching for America. She started wailing and gnashing teeth because they were basically told they were about to get shut the frick down.

This makes me sad as every year here in the delta TFA brings a new crop of teachers around and there's usually a few hot ones and they are always easy.

But I'll sacrifice for the greater good

I never attended day care or kindergarten and I turned out just fine.

Maybe the military should ask for volunteer nannies to remedy their problem.

the F35 program has been a boondoggle and i'll never forgive Obama for cutting the F22 program due to its cost while thie costs of the F35 exploded. plus frick the marines for their insane requests. but at least it's a legitimate advance in technology that keeps our dominance in the air and cannot be found anywhere else

I agree that the F35 program has been one of the biggest scams the military or government has pulled on the American people in quite some time. And I'm willing to discuss that at anything me....but not in comparison to fricking daycare.


People like DS will come in here and complain about daycare spending cuts but then bitch about a new Aircraft Carrier. It's as if they think they military should be some sort of massive jobs/welfare program. Which if I'm being honest it is for a lot of people.

Blame previous administrations.......wouldn't be necessary if we were not a gazillion dollars in debt. But we have to right this ship and we are ALL going to have to do our part

The hiring freeze isn't on the military. I think this is someone taking advantage of the ignorant.

Only uniformed personnel are exempted (save the "excepted service") though those are frozen at a lot of places too.

And these kinds of jobs (daycare and other MWR functions) are typically NAF positions that aren't funded through the regular appropriations process. Not sure how much that influences how they'll be handled.

it is just this more often than not

Of course it is, as I said in my post. The point being that the left WANTS the military to be a jobs/welfare program. Why aren't we bitching about that sort of thing when we talk about spending in the military instead of bitching about the military not having enough daycare workers.

Cut all of these dumbass programs, it seems there is a special program for everything on bases these days. I would never send my kids to the on base daycare anyway, buncha overpaid civilians counts.... fire em all, and focus on what matters for the military.

Not on active duty military, no. These jobs aren't manned by active duty personnel though. Civilian employees are included though. We are having to push timely waivers ourselves to hire hospital staff to fill positions that are left empty, and hope they get approved.

It's been a short time so it hasn't snowballed much, but hopefully it gets removed shortly

How? This is how a blanket hiring freeze works.

read paragraph 4. they have the ability to move resources around but chose other programs

like i've said before, this is what bureaucrats do when facing cuts. they cut the stuff that will get the biggest emotional response so people go "awww we can't cut government. think of the children!" it's a calculated move they've perfected for self preservation.

this isn't a new move. you can find examples of this same shite going back to ancient bureaucratic states like ancient China and the Roman Empire. it's a political move that humans have been falling for, for literally thousands of years
