It all sounds great. But I’ll believe it when it all begins happening.

Diversity & Inclusion Officers in every building, every agency.
When government workers get paid more and have better benefits than private sector workers performing similar jobs, we have a serious problem. I’m shocked he is tackling this.
Frankly, he is tackling all sorts of stuff I’d given up years or decades ago, ever expecting an elected official with any authority to even acknowledge.
This is, frankly, historic. I’m beyond pleased.
I hope he starts with the pedophiles and the ones who spent their workweeks trolling pornographic sites.
Love it! Now if the President can only get his AG to say “Your under arrest” to the rest of the swamp, I would be a very happy man.
By the time they are done filing union grievances and arbitration appeals they will likely get what they want anyway. But at least Trump is going to make them work for it.
Congress needs to change the laws.
The federal bureaucracy is far worse than Lake Woebegon (where everyone is “above average”). In the federal bureaucracy, 99.7% of employees are phenomenal and “deserve” a raise every year!!! Who knew that federal employees are so far superior to the rest of the population????
using models from Amazon, Google, and a handful of well-operating agencies.

Oh no! He’s going to copy the personnel policies of giant companies run by ultra liberals.
Excellant! This is exactly what I thought Trump would do...streamline the bureaucracy.
No wonder these people want to destroy President Trump at all costs!
Sounds great. But to really trim they will need to close whole departments and liquidate the buildings.
Years ago my town was asking people to join the Finance Committee. I did, making FINCOM a two-member committee. We discovered that the town was running a nice scam. Every year all department heads got an automatic 7% raise and all members of all town committees got an automatic 3-4% raise. No records, no performance reviews, just automatic raises. We instituted a new system requiring personnel records and annual reviews and no more automatic raises. It was like setting a bomb off at town hall. Suddenly, there were more applicants for town positions than anyone had ever seen before. The next year our new system of pay for performance was abolished and town committees went back to the old automatic raise system.
Bonuses are just not a good idea. Often the first to be abused, used by superiors to curry favor and loyalty rather than proficiency and job skill.
Money has to be allocated for bonuses, makes it a use it or lose it allocation which we know will be vigorously used to exhaustion.
Go get them President Trump. Wages are so over bloated for the Feds.
It depends upon who is doing the evaluating. Nothing stops a person who evaluates from rating one person higher than someone else who is more qualified. It's the way civil service works, and until there is a workable way to challenge slanted evaluations and unfair promotions, there is still going to be a lot of B/S about who is qualified to get a bonus.

I am paid a ridicules amount of The Peoples Tax Dollars. I get massive amounts of Paid Vacation Time and so many stupid “Holidays” (again PAID) that I cannot keep track of it all. Then I get to refuse all the assistance that American Citizens have paid for all the time they worked. I’m not responsible for much and get to Crap all over the Public.
The really fun part is I DON’T CARE !!!
I expect a 10% reduction in headcount right off the bat.
The only way to enforce the change is to cut all the budgets across the board
I heard on OAN that Tillerson has cut 12% of the dead wood at State.
