Poll: Up to 28% of federal workers may leave because of President Trump (Oh, goody)

This would go a long way toward Making America Great Again. 

According to a new poll conducted by GovExec.com and the independent Government Business Council, 28 percent of federal workers say they are or at least might be "considering leaving the federal service" because of Donald Trump's election. This is actually up from 25 percent who said the same in February when asked about the possibility that Trump might be elected.
Fourteen percent said that yes, they are considering it, and the same share said "maybe" they are. Of this combined 28 percent, just over half said they are "eligible for retirement and [might] retire earlier than planned," meaning they might be serious about this.

President Obama gives the ruling class an extra day off...

Federal employees already get 10 paid holidays in 2012. The number is now eleven. President Obama has given them Christmas Eve off.  Undoubtedly, they are exhausted after spending all those trillions of out tax dollars...

President Obama on Friday signed an executive order giving federal employees the day off on Christmas Eve, which falls on Monday.

Exceptions apply for employees asked by their departments and agencies to work for reasons of national security, defense or other public needs.

Most employees who are excused from duty Dec. 24 will receive the basic pay they would have received if no executive order had been issued. Workers who previously scheduled leave on Christmas Eve will not be charged that leave.

Federal Employees More Likely to Die Than Lose Their Job

Now that is job security. This must have been a very difficult study to conduct. Sometimes it is difficult to tell a live government bureaucrat from a dead one.

(USA Today) — Federal employees’ job security is so great that workers in many agencies are more likely to die of natural causes than get laid off or fired, a USA TODAY analysis finds.

Death — rather than poor performance, misconduct or layoffs — is the primary threat to job security at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Management and Budget and a dozen other federal operations.

The federal government fired 0.55% of its workers in the budget year that ended Sept. 30 — 11,668 employees in its 2.1 million workforce. Research shows that the private sector fires about 3% of workers annually for poor performance, says John Palguta, former research chief at the federal Merit Systems Protection Board, which handles federal firing disputes.

The 1,800-employee Federal Communications Commission and the 1,200-employee Federal Trade Commission didn’t lay off or fire a single employee last year. The SBA had no layoffs, six firings and 17 deaths in its 4,000-employee workforce.

Democrats Pull Bill Because Of Republican Amendment To Prohibit Paying Federal Employees Who Watch Porn On The Job

When Republicans were about to succeed in getting enough Democrats to join them in an amendment prohibiting federal funds from going "to salaries to those officially disciplined for violations regarding the viewing, downloading, or exchanging of pornography, including child pornography," a bunch of Democrats switched their vote and pulled the bill from consideration. Hmm...

The Hill reported;

House Democrats had to scrap their only substantive bill of the week Thursday after Republicans won a procedural vote that substantively altered the legislation with an anti-porn clause.

Democrats had labeled their COMPETES Act -- a bill to increase investments in science, research and training programs -- as their latest jobs bill. It was the only non-suspension bill Democrats brought up all week.

But the Republican motion to recommit the bill -- a parliamentary tactic that gives the minority one final chance to amend legislation -- contained language prohibiting federal funds from going "to salaries to those officially disciplined for violations regarding the viewing, downloading, or exchanging of pornography, including child pornography, on a federal computer or while performing official government duties."

That provision scared dozens of Democrats into voting with Republicans...
