28% of federal employees may quit their jobs when Trump assumes office: Poll

Almost two-thirds of federal employees voted for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election, according to a new survey.

The poll also found that six of 10 felt that the election itself gave Americans a negative impression of federal service.

So it may come as no surprise that some federal employees are considering leaving their employment when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.

“More than one in four federal workers, or 28 percent, will definitely or possibly consider leaving their jobs after Jan. 20 when Trump is sworn into office and becomes leader of the executive branch,” according to the survey conducted by the Government Business Council and Government Executive, which both track the trends of the field.

Half said that Mr. Trump’s business experience would “hinder his management of the federal government” while almost two thirds believe that his business relationships pose a conflict of interest. Both points are also popular narratives within the Democratic Party as well.

According to them a successful businessman can’t run the government. They believe you need a community organizer or former first lady to run it properly.

OMG!!! No! We cannot have that amount of federal employees leave the giant, succulent taxpayer teat all at once. The level of improved competence in the county would improve too quickly.

They won’t quit any more than the Hollyweird liberals will leave the country,

Way to go President Trump, cut the fed work force now. 28% is a lot better than nothing!!

[JudyinCanada]

Yeah. Just like the other dopes that are moving to Canada. Spoiled pre-teens. Rather than quit, I suggest they just hold their breath and turn blue. Or better yet, a hunger strike! Yes, a hunger strike until Trump is out of office.
