re: Trump getting rid of automatic raises for federal workers

The following facts are what is wrong with the civil service and he appears to be addressing all of them.
1. The hiring system is some sort of practical joke. It is a failure in nearly every way possible. There's a saying that if you are doing something different than everyone else who is a professional at it, it's because you are spectacularly innovative or horribly wrong. Usually, it's the latter.
2. Once hired, you basically have to frick the boss's 10 year old daughter to get fired. And even then, you'll probably need to be counseled on it first.
3. Your pay raises are automatic. The super stud in the department gets the same raise the person who falls asleep on the job gets.
Burn it to the ground and start over.
SIDE NOTE: Easily the funniest part of the hiring system is that the stated reason it functions as it does is to avoid people just hiring their buddies. Actually, the system makes it EASIER to game than pretty much any other HR approach ever.

Years ago, either ABC or NBC did a segment on one of their nightly news shows about Civil Service workers and how it was nearly impossible to fire them.
In the year this came out, there were something like 65,000 negative evaluations and out of the 65,000 only 3 were fired. 2 of the 3 were violent. the 3rd pissed in a coffee pot.

Ha. My wife used to work for the Welfare department for the State of Louisiana (west Jeff branch). The only person who ever got fired in her 5 years there was a woman who everyday would come to work, leave at 10am and then go work at an adjacent popeyes while still on the clock. She was busted when her supervisor ordered from her at the drive thru during lunch one day.
