25% of Feds Would Consider Leaving Their Jobs if Trump Becomes President

Government Executive ^

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 say 25 percent would be a good start. Vote for The Donald.

My 8 year old grand daughter, in 3rd grade, was visiting last weekend and she saw I had Trump on and said, “Ashley and Victoria say they are leaving the country if Trump becomes president” I said, well that's too bad because if Trump become president he will make America so great, they will be terribly sorry they missed it!!!

And the downside of this would be???

They’re liars...they’re too imbedded into the government protection womb.

Grab their Golden Parachute before Trump takes office.

I once sent a letter to my manager threatening to quit if I did not receive a promotion I thought I deserved.......I'm sure he got a good laugh out of it.

One more reason to vote for Trump....

[GizzyGirl]

I wonder if it will include all the ones who refuse to pay their taxes and have no repercussions???

[woodenickel]

And leave the gravy train, NO WAY

[Tucker39]

25%, eh? I call BS on that whole story. The very idea that any of these people would leave their cushy featherbed and go out into the REAL world and take a 50% pay cut, is preposterous.

However, if they WOULD actually leave it would help in cutting some of the excess Fed. employees.

[Auntie Dem]

Whoever the next president is he should give all the federal employees a 25% raise, and then fire them, that way they’ll be losing a better job.

[Texas resident]

Ok so 25% are threatening to leave. So Trump should be the one to pick the 25. The rest have to justify their existence. Then, return the money to us, the ones who fund federal gov. employees’ lives.

PLEASE start with my local post office!!

[CodeToad]

Excellent! There is at least that many that don’t do anything!

[euram]

That’s just a bunch of BS, not unlike the Hollyweirdos who fume about leaving the country if this or that one is elected.

[Secret Agent Man]

Fuch. Now we seriously have to vote for Trump.

[rrrod]

EXCELLENT

[LS]

Works for me.

[Secret Agent Man]

:-) no let them quit, they don’t get severance if they leave.

[Secret Agent Man]

Given fedgov can be just as inept with half the people, it’d be a welcome change. Been there. Lotsa dead wood. The good ones do most of the work. The rest get promotions based on gender, race and connections.
