Donald Trump leads the Republican field among federal employees, but many still say they would never work for him.
One in four federal workers would consider leaving their jobs if Trump were elected president, according to a new survey conducted by the Government Business Council, Government Executive Media Group’s research arm. About 14 percent of respondents said they would definitely consider leaving federal service under President Trump, while an additional 11 percent said they might. The findings indicate those leaving government would come from agencies' top ranks, as a majority of respondents were in General Schedule positions GS-13 and higher.

I was hoping that if Trump became president he would fire at least 25% of the federal workforce. This is good news!
Is that suppose to be a threat?
Great another reason to vote for Trump. That would decrease the government size saving billions.
At least that many should be replaced anyway, but are protected by unions.
Look at that! Donald Trump will reduce the size of government without doing anything except showing up! Fantastic!
Problem is most of them would not survive in the real business world.
Nope, they know if Trump is elected, their retirement investments will be worth enough for them to go!
Sounds like a great endorsement for the Donald.
Hm. OK. I hate the (D)onald, but this would actually be a reason to vote for him ONLY if he said “and I wouldn’t replace them.”
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!
“Whooped em’ again, didn’t we Josie”....
Seriously, Trump’s enemies in the Media can always be counted on to say exactly the wrong thing.
Instantly cut Government. Trump’s got my vote.
Good I will vote for Trump
And give up their cushy pensions?
Yea RIGHT...
Would be nice if they also left the country as well.
This kind of thing adds to my reasons for switching preferences from Cruz.
This, as I’ve repeatedly said, is the core of my Trump support.
While I’d love to see some of his published policies come true, to me it is cleaning out 16 years of sludge from the federal system which is most important.
LOL. 25% couldn’t afford to leave their jobs. And where would they go? To an economy that has the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years? Good luck on finding a job in the private sector, especially one paying the same salary and with the same perks and benefits.
Watching Trump reverse all of Obama’s EO’s would be so entertaining. Makes your mouth water.
Bye,bye,there is a trillion $savings. Next bring in Carly to get rid of rest of the dead wood.
