Interesting piece in the NY Post titled “Federal worker gravy train” …
It’s not new news, but the Post points out that firing a federal worker is almost impossible, and making a termination stick, is even less likely.
Data published in the Federal Times supports the Post’s claim. (and common wisdom)
Think about it: 1 in about 200 get culled each year.
Hardly Jack Welch’s “bottom 10%” program.
More generally, data from the Office of Personnel Management indicate that it is five times as hard to get fired from a federal job as from a private-sector one.
It’s commonly claimed that federal workers settle for lower pay in exchange for job security.
The Post says: Don’t believe it.
