Government Executive ^

Posted on 02/01/2016 11:05:25 AM PST by TigerClaws

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.

Wow, that’s great. In some departments it could be even better.

Be still, my heart. Instant downsizing of the government - best case yet for a President Trump.

If only.

I wouldn't take that any more seriously than I take any other promises made by government bureaucrats.

If only it were true. But I don't believe it any more than I believe the Hollywood drama queens pronouncing their intent to depart the country if a Republican is elected. Federal employees have no intention of walking away from pension vesting regardless of who is president, and let's face it - some of them aren't capable of getting jobs in private industry.

Now that is funny!

I've never seen a government leach do anything but hang onto the host to suck on.

Can we get any of these assurances in writing?

Over 30% of federal workers will be eligible to retire in 2017.

Speaking for myself, I will retire the earliest date possible, probably in 16 months (age 63). It has nothing to do with who is residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Yeah, “would consider”...like the ahole celebutards who keep threatening to leave as well.

I’m starting to see more and more Bernie stickers on cars where I work (military installation).

Lord, you should see where I used to work in the Federal government. It is a geriatric facility basically. People in their late 50’s, and 60’s still taking up a spot that should go to younger workers. It is insane. Get rid of these people and if Trump causes it.....how awesome.

Trump 2016

Well, I’m a Cruz guy first with Trump as my second choice but this might make them tied for the Lead with me. LOL
