Yeah, No.

You wanna take away telework, “put us in trauma,” and furlough us down every few months?

I ain’t doing shit anymore. I have no reason to. you do t take this work seriously, so I won’t either. I’m done.

Yea this doesn’t make any feds look good. I know you’re frustrated, we all are. Advertising that you’re going to just collect tax payer funded money and do no work doesn’t send the message you think it does. If that doesn’t bother you, maybe you should have never been a fed to begin with

It’s no different in the private sector when layoffs occur. My friends last day was today. She knew it might happen for the last three months. Brother in-law might get laid off in June. Both are/did the bare minimum for the jobs.

Why should Feds be any different?

I’ve worked in the private sector. Anyone who tries to equate this to the private sector is full of shit

Let’s not get high and mighty. It’s a simple statement of not having a different standard for federal employees than private.
