Why shouldn't government employees face the same trials and tribulations private sector workers face? Many of us have lost jobs through no fault of our own. Our employers hit a rough spot -- ad revenues or subscriptions failed to keep pace with overhead expenses; lost an important client or the economy turned sour; the stock market crashed. Having to struggle creates opportunities. That's what built our great nation. Adaptation is the American way of life. Government jobs should not be sheltered workshops. Learn to deal with it head-on.
When I went to work for the Seattle VA in 2012, they had everyone one of us swear an oath to defend the Constitution. I was surprised by this, except that we fell under the Executive Branch. I worked with several Veterans that took the oath seriously; however, most there could care less about the oath and were obviously flaming Liberals. The same folks that advised that when my Vietnam Veterans group discussed being upset with Obama and discussed what they heard on Fox News, I was to diagnose them “Paranoid Delusional.” I didn’t care how good the pay was, I quickly learned I could not change the system from the inside, and there was no way I’d tolerate such skewed treatment of our Patriotic Veterans. I ended up quitting in 2017. Went to work for the Navy. It’s was even worse!! Didn’t last one year, thank God! I wouldn’t have made it through the Covid BS anyway.
I was a city government employee in California. In theory we were fire-proof, as long as we kept our ears open and mouths shut. But it still only took one a-hole supervisor to get someone fired. Never mind the fact that the supervisor had already had the cops called on him twice, and the head honcho did nothing.
Recently I found myself at a party in which I was the only person who was NOT an extreme leftist. I kept a soft gaze into the distance while they all ranted.
One couple were furious that their son will graduate in May with a 4-year-degree in ... [drum roll] ... Government Service! They said he won't be able to get a job and realized that he has no job skills for anything else except to work in a large federal government bureaucracy! They expected him to get a government job in DC at a high salary and be "set for life." Shuffling papers and redirecting money and writing tedious regulations. I've had 7 fulltime jobs in my life in 3 professions, never "set for life." None of them as a bureaucrat.
I couldn't very well sympathize. The elimination of those useless jobs is what we Trump supporters are all celebrating. The bloated bureaucracy of DC is not what our Founding Fathers anticipated. Eggs will be broken, and some will be inconvenienced in the path to a more streamlined government that is not constantly on the verge of bankruptcy.
Choose well, young people. The federal government teat dried up.
Yep! I watched the video of that town hall twice. The overall theme among both the employees and the politicians was entitlement. Every politician at the front table LIED, LIED, LIED.

The arrogance of government employees is mind boggling, isn't it?

Why should anybody have a guaranteed job for life at taxpayer expense? That leads to ineffciency and corruption.
