In a deep dive by the Washington Post on the drastic measures government workers are undergoing to protect their jobs, or the possibility of legal harassment from president-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration, Republicans are also making plans to make them fall in line with the president-elect's agenda.
According to the report, panicked staffers are looking for jobs in the private sector, seeking to move to different departments that may not be impacted as muc with the Post report adding, "...some civil servants are taking out liability insurance to cover lawyers if theyre demoted or fired."
Speaking with the Post, Jesus Soriano, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3403, admitted, "There is shock and there is actual fear, and there is self censure in the sense that people are scared about retaliation."
The report adds that Trump's allies in Congress also want to get in on clamping down on civil servants............................

(4,440 posts)I worry about the coworkers and friends I left behind. Since they're DoD civil service, I figure they'll be catching it two ways... Rump and military. I didn't want to retire when I did, I thought it was stupid... But now I'm actually glad I'm not there any longer. I went thru the stress of couple of rifs and that was bad enough. Having to self censor would be so hard for me... I've always been outspoken. Constant worry about staying employed would just be too much.

(23,126 posts)I'm approaching retirement. I've had several jobs with the government, including active duty military. This last job takes the cake. I will never work for the feds ever again. I'm not sure what more Trump can put on our plates when it comes to training. I have a thankless job that is essential. We are constantly training. We are constantly surveilled. We are understaffed and new hires just quit because of the stress and difficulty Of the job. The pay is mediocre compared to the private sector. I say bring it on repubs. You will push us into retirement. You won't replace us. It takes years to become proficient. Fuck around and see what happens. And when I say essential, I'm not kidding around.

FOIA the offices to see what "education" they are doing. And while we're at it, might as well figure out who's getting paid to put these "trainings" together.
Drain the swamp, my a$$...

(16,347 posts)Been to many mandatory training sessions. Few attendees take them seriously. Willing to bet some employees will accuse hated or awful bosses of being "disloyal" and some bosses will use the same excuse to finally rid themselves of the employees everyone including co-workers know can't or aren't doing the job and for whom they have to cover the work that isn't being done by said employee.
