What could possibly go wrong?

It is sad because my agency hires some really talented people, but there is a large number of stories that really make you wonder where they dig up the freaks.

The impotent dolt obama trying vainly to flex his muscles; he’s doing nothing but make problems ahead - something he loves to do.

I hope that Trump gets a pastor and a priest to cast out demons before they take possession of the WH and government offices.

to ensure that as many new democrat employees as possible are in place before President-elect Donald Trump imposes a promised hiring freeze.

Watch Trump get into the hiring records & dismiss every single person hired after Dec 1.

It isn’t like you can hide all that information.

I always jokingly said about the place where I worked, that there were two things they’d fire you for, espionage and timecard fraud, and I wasn’t entirely certain about espionage.

I knew a couple guys who were dancing on the edge but once they were warned, they straightened up.

Of course, I would walk across an empty parking lot into the building for a day shift and 8 hours later walk back out across an empty parking lot. The day workers had managed to fill up the parking lot and put in an 8.5 hour day in the meantime. Go figure.

And we won’t even mention how long a lunch “hour” really was.

New federal employees serve a one year (and sometimes two year) probationary periods where they don’t have civil service protections and can essentially be fired or removed for any reason without recourse. Trump could essentially remove every federal hire that started after January 20th 2016 with a simple executive order. Now, unfortunately, once thy complete their probationary period, it takes an act of congress (almost literally in some cases) to pry them out of their jobs.

Yup! And that works for high-level numbnuts who may be difficult to fire. Nothing says their office has to be in a certain location and of a certain size, or that they have phone access or a network connection. Hire someone else to watch their every move, such as when arriving in the morning, taking lunch breaks, bathroom breaks, leaving at the end of the day, etc. Terminate on any infraction.

How about sending the parasites to huge warehouses where Trump’s campaign peaches play 24x7, there is no WIFI, cell service is blocked, and the only phones are coin operated. Also take away all government issued electronics like computers and phones.

My comment wasn’t aimed at you in particular...but a general response to the knee jerks comments painting all government employees with the same broad brush.

Hence the word “all” ...
