Trump has a plan for government workers. Theyre not going to like it

[yortsed snacilbuper]

President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress are drawing up plans to take on the government bureaucracy they have long railed against, by eroding job protections and grinding down benefits that federal workers have received for a generation.

Hiring freezes, an end to automatic raises, a green light to fire poor performers, a ban on union business on the government’s dime and less generous pensions — these are the contours of the blueprint emerging under Republican control of Washington in January.

These changes were once unthinkable to federal employees, their unions and their supporters in Congress. But Trump’s election as an outsider promising to shake up a system he told voters is awash in “waste, fraud and abuse” has conservatives optimistic that they could do now what Republicans have been unable to do in the 133 years since the civil service was created.

3. Question: If they do these things who do they expect to bring about their agenda?

That is the failure of logic in the whole scheme of these Government Haters. Why do they work so hard to get into positions of power and then fire everyone who makes those positions powerful?

7. Perhaps

9. The plan

Erode us federal workers down so much that the public will be begging the government to privatize.

In my department, everyone is already doing the work of two or three people and a hiring freeze would devastate us. Cut us down further, make us fall behind, and suddenly the public is mad and demanding the government do something about it. And then we'll get privatized.
