re: Trump getting rid of automatic raises for federal workers

People willingly accept lower pay in government positions than their private sector peers because of the better benefits. If/when they remove those, I don't see why any intelligent or ambitious person would ever work for the government.

I wasn't under the impression he's trying to kill the benefits..........just trying to kill the "impossible to fire no penalty for sucking" approach.

This seems like a good idea, but could also result in the unintended consequence of a massive brain drain in an already drained area

As long as you have far better health benefits, I don't see this being an issue.

Besides, as a person who works with these people...........we could use a bit of a "brain drain".

Think about it. They're nearly impossible to fire.

Well. Hiring is an imperfect science. You're going to "miss" every so often no matter what.

Welp. That causes an accumulation over time of suck.

I would say that it's arguable that about 25% of the govt employees around me are carrying 90% of the load.
