Because performance and efficiency matters or you won't have a job.

Who cares you idiot gump? Aint nobody scared! You sound like an envious tool! There are pros and cons on both sides, but you shouldn’t judge a person for either. Of all the issues in life and you are worried about this? Divorce your cousin and come back to reality you loser!

If you think this does not happen with most federal jobs, you’re either gullible or you are making up stuff.

Over a 30 year career in state and federal government across multiple jurisdictions with various degrees of oversight, I have never come across a government agency that doesn’t fire people for poor performance.

Now school teachers on the other hand...different story.

How do you feel about the shake machine at fast food restaurants?

There are great and terrible employees in any industry or sector. Let’s not pretend the private sector is a dream come true.

I never post on this site. I just use it as a resource for information outside of the typical news because I am not in social media and do not like the main stream sources much.

I am replying because your posts are very uninformed and paint a very broad portrait of things you likely do not know. Your bio says you are a CEO which makes me believe you are an intelligent person and probably a solid American. I am an independent person on the political spectrum, love Trump, and I am a Frderal Employee.

My point-
I can tell you that there are many people in my line of work that have advanced degrees, are very intelligent, work hard, put their lives on the line, and are away from their family’s for extended periods of time. I earn every dollar I make in my government position. I have worked in the private sector, I’m independently wealthy, but choose to serve. I don’t know, if you have served your country in some capacity (military, LEO, etc.) great and thank you if you have. If you have not then I would encourage you to look at your self and ask yourself if you should. Or! If you could make it through rigorous training, be away for extended periods of time from your family, and face the worst of the worst of society everyday?

Again not picking a internet bad*** fight. Just countering your point. I do agree that some in all levels of government are just worthless, much like many politicians. I still know a lot of worthless private sector employees as well.

I believe your posts are a huge slap in the face to many people who serve you and their country everyday. I hope that you will reconsider your previous positions. At least until you become better informed about certain things.

Here again, we are painting with a broad brush. You assume all feds are useless and that there are no useless private sector employees. I’ve worked in both and can tell you that waste exists on both sides.

ETA: Nice name calling

Oh and the DMV is state, FYI.

On further reflection. Your posts also come off as very arrogant. I’m sure you have built up successful businesses and have done a great job with it. Maybe you should find some humility. Or maybe you are just THAT guy.

Sounds like a conceded GOPher to me. Props on the success, no need to be a jackass for those making an honest living doing shiat most wouldn’t. TSA workers lay out...it’s going to be a huge deal eventually

Please enlighten me. Maybe it would help if you could elaborate on what you think I do for a living.

I’ll give you a hint. I’ve risked my life to ensure the United States is a safer place to live.
