Bureaucratic parasites hardest hit.

I’m going to open a coding school...

Learn to code “public servants!” lol.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is also taking major steps, planning to cut 80,000 jobs.

Many Freepers like me receive a disability check from the VA every month. Right now I'm dealing with two Agent Orange cancers (prostate and bladder) and I'm 100% disabled. A reduction in force of 80,000 employees will certainly cause some pain. Let's hope they figure it all out quickly without hurting our vets.

“...potential gaps in weather forecasting...”

LOL... Should say “weather guessing”....LOL

Featherbedding is the practice of hiring more workers than are needed to perform a given job, or to adopt work procedures which appear pointless,

Absolute great definition. I believe that Musk and company can streamline the government to the effectiveness and efficiency of his companies.

Federal workforce expansion was Bidens way of making employment figures look good, reward supporters and blocs the dems consider their permanent voters. Few reports of these mass reductions are honestly reporting that the workforce in many of these agencies, after cuts, will be about what they were in 2020-21. And too many of the hires under Biden were for dei or to staff corrupt, wasteful, useless or worse programs.

“...aiming to revert to leaner, 2019-level staffing. This bold move is meant to improve healthcare services for veterans while reducing wasteful spending.”

As a (still relatively healthy) Vet, I’m all for this, as long as they don’t slash too deeply for those that need mental health services.

Lack of mental health services for Veterans is a MAIN CAUSE of homelessness and crazy people living on the streets. Homeless female Veterans (sometimes with children in tow) are growing in numbers. :(

I’d better send a note to Trump and his new VA Appointee, Doug Collins. ;)

PING to Post #10. :)

Has the addition of 80,000 new hires in the past 5 years appreciably improved services over what you were receiving in 2018-19 under Trump?

"Bureaucratic parasites hardest hit."

We'll see these bureacratic parasites whining and moaning during interviews on the Enemedia news shows in the coming days.

President Trump is making waves with a decisive (move to slash bloated government) bureaucracy.

The guilty the first to complain again.

“ The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is also taking major steps, planning to cut 80,000 jobs — aiming to revert to leaner, 2019-level staffing.”

So they hired 80,000 people since 2019?!

[dynoman]

That just 25% of the number of jobs Bill Clinton cut.

[dynoman]

Good question!

Keep in mind that every agency is required to provide RIF (reduction in force) plans to the WH this month.

These cuts are before the RIFs even begin.

The party is just getting started.

A reduction in force of 80,000 employees will certainly cause some pain...

Out of those 80,000 hired voters, 80,000 of them do no work.

[dynoman]

good!
