Supposedly, you can’t fire federal employees. Can anyone confirm this?
Foolish gamble, I'm thinking.

Methinks these “people” will emulate their ideological father, Nicolae Ceausescu.
They will continue to deny the authority of the people right up until they are metaphorically taken out and shot.
I've seen that idea expressed several times over the last couple of weeks, and think it has a great deal of merit.
Call it Bureaucrat Boot Camp, 'No Place For Sissies". LOL
in the last hiring freeze my roommate was a victim of the freeze he worked for the forest service and got fired because of the freeze 11 months after starting the job because he was still probationary.
Brilliant idea to send them to tent camps. Use porta pottys too.
Indubitably. It's the sole reason the Obama regime is doing this.
ah yes, the old “eastern front” treatment. LOL
It really is.
What the political left hasn't yet come to grips with, is the fact that Trump is an old hand at this. He's been the Chief Executive Officer of a multi-billion dollar enterprise for over forty years, and knows how to delegate authority where necessary, to remove bad actors and accomplish his senior goals.
This is nothing more than a speed bump.
So, I guess the juvenile actions the Clintons and their cohorts perpetrated, on their way out of the WH, are probably still on the table, too. Sanitize those keyboards and telephones, and everything else that their vindictive, soiled hands might have touched, before handling ANYTHING.
Anything to clog up the sewers and start fires, so DJT, et al, have double the work to do, starting day one. He’s already accomplished more as a PE, than Oblobo has, in eight years.
I hear you, I really do.
“Supposedly, you cant fire federal employees. Can anyone confirm this?”
Yes, you can. Most easily for cause. Timecard fraud is a biggie.
RIF - Reduction In Force. An Early-Out is another good way to get people to retire.
Govt workers and contractors have to go through a basic background check before they can be hired, and if their job handled classified material, the next check has to be a full-field one which can take months.
To the FReeper who said that govt employees watch porn all day. Doesn’t happen any more. Computers are constantly monitored for porn, spam, etc even to the point that legitimate websites are banned because of poor monitoring programming.
Contractors can be very productive because they have to produce according to worked out timetables and in the legal area, according to case timetables (mediation, depositions, offers/counteroffers, and court dates/Discovery timelines, etc).
If I told you how much money I have saved the taxpayers over the years as a contractor, you would crap a cow, or maybe a whole herd. Some of us do work hard and produce good results so give us some slack.
It’s all in the leadership of the agency you work for down to the supervisors. If they are good, your work can be very good because they will trust you to do it right. Poor leadership leads to poor production. It’s as simple as that.
If I was given only 5% of what I have saved the taxpayer over many years, I would probably be richer than almost anyone who posts at FR.
On one project alone, I helped reduce what the govt was sued for,about $80-90 MILLION to a final payment of only $8 MILLION.
Let’s see. 5 Percent of $80 Million is $4 Million. I could live on that, very well and that’s just one instance in where my research/advice paid off bigtime.
You can thank me by sending a small donation to the Leukemia Society. They do great work.
It’s really gonna suck trying to do a job when you have no resources to do it with.
And my favorite liars are the scientists trying to justify their unneeded jobs and “research” the ones who are searching for aliens claimed to have received a transmission from aliens from a galaxy 6 billion light years away https://www.rt.com/news/333551-alien-signals-radio-space/. As if we are stupid enough to believe that aliens could predict human life on his little rock from 6 billions years ago.
For the first time, scientists have successfully traced mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs), which have been speculated to be signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, to a galaxy six billion light years away

Fire all these fraudsters now.
Your observation is my observation as well.
As an FAA contractor many years ago, I witnessed the only govt civil-service employees doing work - the contractor overseers. They worked their collective tails off making sure us contractors delivered the goods.
The atmosphere in the govt offices was one where most doors were closed. Opening a door invariably led to someone asleep.
