Report: At Least 180 Federal Workers Planning to Disobey Trump Administration
Townhall ^ | February 1, 2017 | Justin Holcomb

Posted on 02/01/2017 2:03:32 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

President Donald Trump surely realizes that most workers employed by the federal government diabolically oppose his views of America.

According to a new report, at least 180 of those employees "have signed up for a workshop featuring expert advice on workers’ rights and expressing civil disobedience."  Also, dozens more federal workers have attended a support groups for discussing opposition to the Trump administration.

As President Trump settles into the White House, he will have to start examining ways to expedite his transition from the top down.  His agenda is nothing more than words in the long term if the people working for him fail to carry out his promises.  

Not showing up to work, taking extended vacations, filing worker's rights lawsuits, and obstructing the process in any way possible are just a few of the legal ways federal workers can bring President Trump's agenda to a halt.

From the CIA to the State Department, at some point, a mass overhaul of former employees from the Clinton, Bush and Obama eras has to happen.  President Trump can sign as many executive orders as he wants, but it will mean nothing in the long run if the people who stood behind him during the campaign are not serving him as employees.

“President Donald Trump surely realizes that most workers employed by the federal government diabolically oppose his views of America.”

Diabolically oppose? I think he might mean diametrically opposed, meaning opposite. But that’s only 180 degrees. Diabolically opposed would be hotter than that. So maybe he meant it.

Who is holding this workshop? I think these workers can be terminated for insubordination simply for attending the workshop as well as the people who hosted it.

“getting fired from a federal workers union job is a lot tougher than it sounds.”
**************************************************************************
“True dat” when it comes to individual workers targeted in isolation, but you can get rid of them as part of reductions in force, eliminating entire categories of jobs or eliminating complete branches, divisions, offices and agencies.

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

If some of these no doubt underperformers took extended vacations or otherwise didn’t show up to work things would undoubtedly be better for the rest of us.

Or it could be......no one would notice the difference....

Get them “pink slips” ready!

This swamp may be partially self-draining.

How is this behavior any different from what they already do at work? Situation normal for them.

Someone pointed out that they pretty much have to go wherever the job sends them. He suggested our diplomatic mission on Antarctica.

Draining the swamp is a messy job

True, but a very satisfying one nonetheless.
