28% of federal employees may quit their jobs when Trump assumes office: Poll
Washington Times ^ | 1/19/17 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 01/19/2017 1:16:24 PM PST by markomalley

Almost two-thirds of federal employees voted for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election, according to a new survey.

The poll also found that six of 10 felt that the election itself gave Americans a negative impression of federal service.

So it may come as no surprise that some federal employees are considering leaving their employment when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.

“More than one in four federal workers, or 28 percent, will definitely or possibly consider leaving their jobs after Jan. 20 when Trump is sworn into office and becomes leader of the executive branch,” according to the survey conducted by the Government Business Council and Government Executive, which both track the trends of the field.

Half said that Mr. Trump’s business experience would “hinder his management of the federal government” while almost two thirds believe that his business relationships pose a conflict of interest. Both points are also popular narratives within the Democratic Party as well.

I would look for a surprising exodus, however. But as a real threat to the continuity of government? Nah and good riddance.

Wow! 28%! LOL! Every day since the election its been like Christmas! I cant remember a time as an adult that I have been this relaxed and happy.

Thank you PRESIDENT Trump!

Harper’s article is pure BS. Nobody is leaving my section. They’re non-political professionals, not political hacks.

It is the top leadership of almost every department of the government that needs to be changed like a loaded diaper. Obama corrupted the government beyond belief and greatly harmed the U.S., its’ economy, defense, industry, border security and immigration laws, culture, morality, and educational system (Remember “Commie Core” teaching?).

Good! Let them go and don’t fill the vacancies. Anyone who would quit over the inauguration of a real president cannot have been doing anything useful.

Stupid meaningless number. Will definitely or possibly consider? Huh??? Utter nonsense to drive up a negative impression of President Trump (forget the elect, it over).

"may quit their jobs when Trump assumes office" "May" is a very big word. I will bet less than 1 in 100.

They can tender their resignations starting now.

Most of them know that if reductions are ordered, then special provisions kick in for a RIF (Reduction in Force). Expect them to hang around long enough so as not to miss out on any of those benefits.

If only that were true. Like moving to Canada, it will never happen.

28%? No, that many will not leave. Maybe 1 or 2%, but not 28.

They are just as full of BS as the celebs that say they will be moving to Canada or where ever.

It’s all talk.

They can leave for all I care. Some of the workers are good, some are a colossal waste.

Fed employees residing in Northern Virginia should be reassigned to satellite offices in Frederick, Maryland. And vice-versa

The chaos on 270 would be epic.
