This issue reminds me of how it's impossible to hired at Google because they won't authorize new head counts and won't fire people who don't work. Sounds like the Federal Government? At Google when projects need to be plussed up, they hire contractors to teams. Mind you these are indefinite term...and they report to the same building, just don't have the same rights...sort of like the H1B farms.Letting agencies decide which positions are critical would result in minimal (if any) reductions.
Easier solution, cut all the contractors who were added after 2001.
I wish I could give this 2 eggplants.I wonder how much cocaine and heroin the CIA will have to traffic to make up for the loss of USAID? With the border closing cartels need a way into the country.
20k federal employees have taken the buyout... rookie numbers. We gotta pump those numbers way up.
I think they got what they deserved, but I get your point. I'll take 2.5%, and then the move out of DC.We'll see if they get to the 5% they thought they would. I really think they could have reached 10%+ if they hadn't tried to speed run it.
I know a few people who would take it if their was an actual document ensuring they'd get retirement other than the "trust us bro" emails we keep getting.
Methinks you are likely in the wrong forumI just need someone more virtuous than I am to fill me...
Consider that in October, we shed 28,000 private sector jobs...but somehow the Federal government hired 40,000 people So the Jill admin could point to positive job growth...We'll see if they get to the 5% they thought they would. I really think they could have reached 10%+ if they hadn't tried to speed run it.

I hope we can have a functioning government. I had fears of project 2025 stuff before the election, and those things keep popping up.
And now. We are planning to take over the Gaza Strip according to President Trump. How could that go poorly?
Brother, we didn't have a functioning government the last four years. This can't be nearly as bad.
Also, can we get USCIS to cap these H1Bs and H1B renewals. Time to get American engineers into engineering.
H1Bs are exceptionally abused. I've seen it first hand. So are O-1s. There are numerous Americans who are qualified for roles who aren't getting hired in place of foreign people. Like this will tell you how bad H1Bs are abused. You all remember Milo, right? He was on an H1B.I don’t know what your connection is to engineering, but my wife is an engineer and everyone who works for her is, she isn’t hiring foreign visa holders because it is a pain in the fucking ass. Sometimes bro the sound bites aren’t real.there are roughly 85k total H1B visas total per year. Literally a drop in the bucket. Hiring them is a pain in the ass because you have to show you couldn’t hire an American.
They don’t hand out these visas to engineers. They are given to people who bring exceptional ability to science and engineering, with caveats. Most of my wife’s PH.D cohort who were foreigners(only a few) were required to stay after their Ph.Ds. This was at “The Ivy of the south”, and a top 3 program in the nation. My wife was an NSF fellow, and has pretty mad bona fides in engineering.
ETA: something that is rarely mentioned is that many of the grants that fund research, particularly DOD and DARPA, don’t allow certain people to work on them. DOD and DARPA fund a lot. They funded a huge grant my wife received for her Ph.D in tissue engineering, as it related to the long term treatment of burn related scarring. This is improtant because labs can’t fund research that doesn’t have outside funding. So if a grant excludes foreigners, they can’t take a foreign student.
Manifest destiny. I thought you’d be happy that finally the open air prison was liberated and protections would be granted to underprivileged Gazans. End to suffering? End to abject poverty? No? Oppressor de liber and all that?

Can this day GET any better? That oughta get us to that 10%.
