Almost two-thirds of federal employees voted for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election, according to a new survey.
The poll also found that six of 10 felt that the election itself gave Americans a negative impression of federal service.
So it may come as no surprise that some federal employees are considering leaving their employment when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.
More than one in four federal workers, or 28 percent, will definitely or possibly consider leaving their jobs after Jan. 20 when Trump is sworn into office and becomes leader of the executive branch, according to the survey conducted by the Government Business Council and Government Executive, which both track the trends of the field.
Half said that Mr. Trumps business experience would hinder his management of the federal government while almost two thirds believe that his business relationships pose a conflict of interest. Both points are also popular narratives within the Democratic Party as well.

That’s a good start.
BS!
Although it would be great.
Obama has salted the government through and through with unfirables who’s mission is to gum up the wheels.
Remember when Eric Holder issued a call for people with mental disorders to apply for employment at the Justice Department?
These people can’t be touched by DJT.
Did they pink-o swear on a stack of Das Kapital ?
if 28% of people on the fed payroll quit, that will be a GREAT start!
a second 28% leaving will bring the monster down to size
Time for DJT to start printing up the pink slips (layoff notices!)
Not a chance. Where else can they get a good job at a good salary, with great benefits and pension, and little to no responsibility?
I’m wondering what the downside of this might be. 2/3rds of them are lying.
WOOOOHOOOOO PE Trump. The GRRRRRREATEST PE in the history of this fabulous republic.
28% + Fire 10% more and it would be a start.
I would guess at least half of the 28% are eligible for retirement benefits. We have an older workforce in Wisconsin government, so I would expect the same at the federal level.
If only. They won't Their front trotters are permanently stuck in the public trough.
They aren’t going to quit but I’m hoping Trump makes them wish they had.
I ain’t one of them ... proud to work for the government ... proud to have voted for Trump.
I agree: not bloody likely!
Not a chance. They will have to be dragged out, kicking, screaming, and protesting with every breath.
not likely
Bull!! Retired DoD guy here. If they’d have closed the base we’d have claimed the fence to get back on that gravy train!!
Every single day just like Christmas morning.
Yep. We can fill those jobs in a jiffy with people who actually want to work!
It won’t happen. They have it too good and there are far too few jobs in the private sector right now.
As any of these people actually give a shit about who the president is and how his policies differ from their self interests.
Their there for the pay check. Do they think there are that many open private sector jobs that will give them the pay and benefits they make now!
Fed employees residing in Northern Virginia should be reassigned to satellite offices in Frederick, Maryland.
And vice-versa. After a month of Beltway gridlock 2/3 of them will quit.
