About those 800,000 non-essential gov’t employees …

Perhaps the biggest win from last week’s possible government shut-down is that (apparently) all gov’t departments had to scrub their employment lists to classify employees as essential or non-essential.

Now, if gov’t were a business, somebody (think Jack Welch – or, better yet, Chainsaw Al Dunlop) would start scouring the list … to re-classify some of the non-essentials to ‘former employees’.

I’m taking the under on that bet.

The non-essentials will likely continue doing their non-essential “work” … on our dollar.

Ouch.

    GE would likely keep all 975 FTEs in tax and find ways to ramp up volume in the alt energy business.
