Federal employees are subject to a probationary period (I believe 6 months, might 3 months or a year, can’t remember). Simply let them go at the end of the probation.

Very good to know, but at the same time, it shows the absolute pettiness and childishness of the Resident.

Just what does he think he's accomplishing with this?

Govt workers and contractors have to go through a basic background check before they can be hired, and if their job handled classified material, the next check has to be a full-field one which can take months.

To the FReeper who said that govt employees watch porn all day. Doesn’t happen any more. Computers are constantly monitored for porn, spam, etc even to the point that legitimate websites are banned because of poor monitoring programming.

Contractors can be very productive because they have to produce according to worked out timetables and in the legal area, according to case timetables (mediation, depositions, offers/counteroffers, and court dates/Discovery timelines, etc).

If I told you how much money I have saved the taxpayers over the years as a contractor, you would crap a cow, or maybe a whole herd. Some of us do work hard and produce good results so give us some slack.

It’s all in the leadership of the agency you work for down to the supervisors. If they are good, your work can be very good because they will trust you to do it right. Poor leadership leads to poor production. It’s as simple as that.

If I was given only 5% of what I have saved the taxpayer over many years, I would probably be richer than almost anyone who posts at FR.

On one project alone, I helped reduce what the govt was sued for,about $80-90 MILLION to a final payment of only $8 MILLION.

Let’s see. 5 Percent of $80 Million is $4 Million. I could live on that, very well and that’s just one instance in where my research/advice paid off bigtime.

You can thank me by sending a small donation to the Leukemia Society. They do great work.
