WASHINGTON ― As soon as she found out Donald Trump had won the presidential election, Diane* began applying for a new job. As a federal employee, she just couldn’t imagine sticking around and working for a man she worried would mistreat government workers and pursue dangerous, unethical policies.

Are you kidding? They’ve got a sinecure. Or so they think.

I have a feeling that a primary reason for giving up a civil service job and pension, is if you participated in criminal activities and do not want to be around when Trump’s new investigators show up.

You mean where they intentionally sent in underage children, knowing they were going to get the shite beat out of them, just so they could take pictures of the event?

I love the disclaimer that accompanies the article:

“* Names have been changed at the request of the individuals over fears of retribution.”

I ask you, who would waste their time in retribution over comments made by a bunch of people with the IQ of a radish?

One down, several hundred thousand to go.

MAGA.

Well, they do have reason to be afraid. But I always laugh when any of them threatens to quit a fedgov job. They’d much prefer to stay there and sabotage the new administration.

Total BS

No lazy-ass leftists are quitting their highly lucrative sinecures. What are they going to do? Go out and get an actual job? Doing what, exactly?

Federal employees or service members who have no choice but to be there are trying to make the best out of the uncomfortable situation.

They should NOT suffer... they should quit their jobs. We don't want them and they don't want the indignity of doing their jobs.

It's a win-win if they pack up and leave.

Show some integrity liberal federal employees - watch porn on your own dime - not on the taxpayers dime. Attack conservatives in your local hometown bars - NOT within the IRS... or DOJ. LEAVE LIBERALS... QUIT YOUR JOBS... GET OUT HELL OUT OF DODGE...really show some integrity. QUIT!

Would love all who hate Trump to quit - would pare down the force and leave those who are willing to earn their paycheck in the saddle....

The vast majority of the federal bureaucracy is made up of Democrat voters. I hope they all resign. Otherwise they are there to sabotage the Trump administration.

What a load of b.s.!

I used to work at companies that did contact work for government agencies. Every time a presidential election changed the powers in DC, WE were sending out resumes.

Diane* my a$$. Her real name is probably Sheniqua, or Tangilique, or Deshondra, or some such foolish thing.

Same way I felt serving under the bent one in the 90’s I guess.

I was a federal civil servant for over 30 years, and I NEVER saw anyone resign because they disagreed with the administration. Politically, about 60 percent of civil servants are liberals, and 40 percent are conservatives, particularly the veterans and retired military.

she just couldn’t imagine sticking around and working for a man she worried would mistreat government workers and

So she “worried about it”? Had no REAL reason to expect that and lacked the courage to stay and see if it would happen. Just made some assumptions and acted on them!

People like Diane are the reason I advocate decentralizing the government agencies into the states and away from D.C. Half the staff will refuse to go, and will try to stay in the D.C/New York/LA, San Francisco bubble zones. Diane would never condescend to work in Wichita, or Houston, or De Moines.

#TrumpTheGreatLiberator

The Govt snowflakes will develop private survival skills. In four years many will be thanking Trump.

Whatever happened to the approximately 35% of the Fed “workers” who said they’d quit if President Elect Trump won? Quit for Goodness sake, you losers...QUIT!!!

The (unintentionally) funniest article I read, and I wish I could find it, were the lamentations that DC nightlife is going to suck now that the young,cool, urban, hip-hop crowd would be leaving with Obama.
