"If you’re doing, say, vegetation sampling and prescribed fire as your main work, there aren’t many jobs,"

This is a grouping of words only a Federal employee could put together.

Welcome to the pain of the private sector - less money and less security.

President Donald Trump’s administration is offering buyouts to federal employees to quickly reduce the government workforce through the deferred resignation program.

The buyouts are for all full-time federal employees except for military personnel, employees of the U.S. Postal Service and those in positions related to immigration enforcement and national security. Workers will receive roughly eight months of salary if they accept the offer, the Associated Press reported.


so, buyouts are still being offered? Media is saying much about that...........

Cathy Nguyen, 51, of Honolulu, was laid off last month from her job at USAID, where she helped manage the PEPFAR program, which combats HIV/AIDS. "It’s requiring me to rethink how I want to spend my professional life," Nguyen shared with the AP.

In her acronymy world, she was cut short.

And they will have to fight the stigma of being the lazy government worker, whether correct or not.

Did this same leftist clown say the same about the thousands of Keystone Pipeline employees laid off?
You are not entitled to a job. You have to earn it through work and performance. Only terminated federal employees deserve sympathy? Nonsense. Another feckless sob story.

A lot of federal employees have gone through this, outside of the military there just isn’t a lot of work for artilleryman, or machine gunner.

maybe a landscaping job, or washing dishes, or cleaning houses, or hard labor such as masonry, concrete work, roofing, paving, etc.

or just go into business for yourself!
