‘They’re so vindictive’: Why some federal employees are fearing Trump 2.0
Politico ^ | 10/15/2024 | Robin Bravender

Posted on 10/24/2024 7:21:48 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

EPA employees are shuffling to “safer” agencies. An Interior Department worker is putting off buying a new car and poring over Project 2025. And civil servants across the government are worried they might soon get fired.

Federal employees throughout the executive branch are panicking at the thought of another Trump administration.

Former President Donald Trump has pledged to “demolish the deep state.” His running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance, has said Trump ought to fire “every civil servant in the administrative state.” It’s not just campaign-trail bluster. In the waning days of his first administration, Trump sought to make it easier to fire federal employees — a move that was quickly reversed by the Biden administration.

Workers in some agencies are particularly distraught about a possible Trump return. The former president and his allies have singled out certain agencies — including those that issue environmental rules — as prime targets, should he return to office in January.

So, if Trump wins, “civil servants” might be subject to some of the cares of mere citizens?

How many did he fire in his first four years as President?

If only his staff would come and talk to me, I can give them huge amounts of information. They MUST verify who they are first.

Trump should ask for a letter of resignation from every single political appointee. He can reappoint all the ones he wants to, but does not have to reappoint the rest. if you don’t ask for everyone, then the left will accuse him of being “political” as they did to Bush 2.

They should all resign. Even if some of them are Republican. Time to clean house.

Yeah, what other industry or company runs a deficit year after year after year and grows its workforce gives them raises and plump benefits

Last hired, first fired. He should go back at least four years, or perhaps 16 years.

Political appointees can start packing now. I’m really looking forward to Mayorkas being shown the door.

““They’re so vindictive,”

Well duh.

If 95% of fed.gov employees are total azz-wholes but NOW want to be all friends so they don’t get their cush job with the fat paychecks yanked they just might have “unfair” pink slips in their inboxes.

The agony...
