About 1-in-4 federal employees would consider leaving their jobs if Donald Trump is elected president, according the results of a recent survey conducted by the Government Business Council.
Overall, about 2-in-3, or 67 percent said they would not think about leaving the federal government if Trump becomes president, but 14 percent said they would and 11 percent said they would "maybe" leave. Just 8 percent said they did not know. The share of Democrats who said they would leave is higher, with 42 percent indicating that they would exit or could exit.
Among all of those surveyed, 59 percent said they would be embarrassed to have Trump as president, compared to 49 percent who said the same for Hillary Clinton, 45 percent who would be embarrassed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, 37 percent with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and just 20 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Of those surveyed, 42 percent identified as Republicans, 31 percent as Democrats, while 8 percent said they did not know and 19 percent declined to state.

Yes, I wish that far MORE of them would quite under a Trump presidency; it would save him from firing them.
This is not a down side to a Trump win.
Only 25%? Donald’s going need to do some firing. Maybe they know that and want to keep their bennies.
They may not have to quit. Trump will probably eliminate many more worthless jobs than that...
These same employees, if Trump does away with their jobs, will be kicking and screaming to KEEP the job.
In my opinion, the first to go would be US Dept of Education, then the IRS...
Now if only about 50% more would commit to that, we'd be getting somewhere.
Vote Trump and watch the lazy exodus!
Just dont let the door hit you in the butt. Then dont refill the jobs
Can we clone Trump and make his clone the vice-president candidate and then watch 50% of the Federal Government Bureaucratic Pukes quit?
That be said, this story is likely a scare tactic by the leftists to get them motivated to send mucho money to Bernie and Hillary so as to protect the jobs of their leftist FED workers.
Now I have to vote for trump!
I see a new campaign ad. Too late for Iowa. But maybe New Hampshire?
BS! Laughable BS!
First celebrities, and now federal workers?!!! Go Trump!!!
25% a year, each and every year would be a very good thing.
Start at the Federal level.
And then have the States follow suit.
Keep trimming it back until we get to a functional government that does what it is required to do by the governing documents.
Silent Cal cut his budget, in actual dollars, nearly in half over 7 years.
25% employee elimination the first year is a good start.
“25 percent of federal employees would quit under Trump presidencyâ€
Ummm.. so Trump cuts wasteful federal spending without lifting a finger! :D
That’s weird - to be ready to quit their job before they even knowing how it will effect them. A bit dramatic, don’t you think?
I finally have a reason to vote for Trump!
Per the headline; PULEEEZE!
They’ll quit as soon as Whoopi and friends leave the country...again.
Federal, any gov’t workers, aren’t quitting their golden ring jobs. Ever.
