Amidst employees in tears following the election of Donald Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency is offering counseling sessions on "dealing with change."
[Snip]
Topics included "How to deal with change," "How do you keep your composure and make better decisions under pressure?" "How can you spend your energy more wisely—and have more as a result?" and "How do you recognize and eliminate harmful habits that cause you stress?"
The agency's Employee Counseling and Assistance Program held the sessions, which also covered "How can you stop yourself from getting hurt and/or angry?"

Wouldn’t it be more productive if they were given a lesson on “how to work with boredom while standing in the unemployment line”? Get rid of these punks.
Roger on the walking papers. Put them all in the unemployment line.
Counseling
(Not enough coffee yet)
EPA employees can collect unemployment from their state for 26 weeks or so. That is very generous.
I know that there is a commonly used method for panic attacks that has something to do with breathing and bags.
I think just placing a plastic bag over your head will stop most panic attacks.
Just trying to be helpful to those EPA snowflakes.
“Gov workers will now experience what the rest of us have had to deal with the last 8 years:
Loss of job, relocation, lower quality of life.”
You must have missed the news, this last few years under Obama has been the Greatest and hottest Economy for 40 years, Unemployment is in the 4% range, Zero Inflation. America is Booming, I saw it on CNN
Did the taxpayers pay for this counseling!
Unemployables.
Oh well...good bye and good luck in finding a new job. Hopefully the real world is not too difficult to adapt to.
As a warning though you might have to work beyond 4:30 p.m.
These clowns are part of the reason the nest job I’ve had went to China. I didn’t get counseling, I got another job.
Many many young lawyers work at the EPA. They will not easily find new jobs. The field is flooded and even fewer will be needed if Trump reduces regulations.
When I worked in HR, we used to offer those “benefits” during RIFs. What a lot of bafflegab crap! Some people even thought that management gave a hoot. (They didn’t.)
Now they will experience some real “climate change” at the EPA.

Yes, now let them feel some of the same type of “heat” that the targets of their regulatory jihad felt. Let the insensitive bureaucrats experience some financial fears of their own.

Most of the government “workers” have no skills that are in demand in the private sector — and they know it. They are TERRIFIED they might not be able to find a job that pays well for pushing papers, attending meetings, and “supervising” contractors who do their work for them.
Of course, the bureaucrats never bothered to consider the effects of their painful regulations on others when they mercilessly imposed them.
Any EPA employee who has expressed any discomfort with the incoming administration should be removed from EPA, fired if possible, transferred to Receiving at a Post Office annex, if not. Then, of course, the EPA should be abolished.
Management seldom cares. They’re too busy looking out for themselves.

And wait until “loser pays” becomes the law of the land (oh, please, please, please). Gone will be millions of frivolous lawsuits and lawyerly shakedowns for settlements. And gone will be most of the attorney parisites who feed off of and weaken the actual productive economy.
Most of the feds will be begging the contractors who do the work for them to hire them. But the dirty little secret is that the contractors don’t like or respect their federal overlords. They see them as a bunch of lazy, overpaid, and and unskilled paper pushers and would never hire them to do any real work.
Hopefully the real world is not too difficult to adapt to.

And you might have to actually produce something of value and be accountable for expected results.
A most excellent, and accurate, comment!
