Yeah, it is really hard to recruit when you cannot tell those being hired when exactly the paid vacations will come so they can set their schedules accordingly.

I worked on a Corps of Engineers contract for two years. Right in the same office working closely every hour of the workday with career “civil servants.”. Lots of very good people, smart, dedicated, everything you’d want. However, about 40% were useless slugs not worth the powder it would take to blow their brains out. Totally lazy, cynical, and constantly carping over trivial slights. The system did that do them. That system is still in place. Go along to get along is stultifying for the soul.

“And it may have the longer-term impact of making it more difficult to bring new people into the government.”

OMG, I just predicted this on another thread, only I said it would be NBC, instead it’s NPR.

We knew they would do this. It’s to laugh.

BWAHAHAHA...………….
Sorry to be so insensitive.

Funny how that never happened when a Democratic president like Clinton or Obama had a shutdown.
