2,000 USAID employees getting released today

[rightwinger]

^^^ and let’s analyze the cost of this scams:

The government “worker,” spending half his day doing his own personal stuff, earns $160,000. But because he claims he doesn’t have time for his work, he farms it out to a contractor, for whom taxpayers are paying $400,000 a year.

That means we are paying close to $600,000 a year to get his job done. Now multiply this by half of the 400,000 people who “works” for the VA, and it’s real money.

(I myself was asked by the employee to sign on with the government as a contractor so he could give me his work to do. I refused. But that’s how I know about it.)

You are making shit up to support your claims

 

[multivita-man]

I know only one person who “works” for the VA. He spends half the day out of the house doing his own personal stuff while handing over his work to a contractor since, he claims, he doesn’t have time for it.

The abuse and scam has been massive.

Yeah, bullshit.

 

[Lisa558]

Yeah, bullshit.

Typical. Lib can’t defend the abuse the government employees have been running, so they just deny it.

You are lying as usual

Someone earning $160,000 is a top manager/executive and not working from home.

I dont mind when I see an american business have to shut its doors.

Thanks because you’re a diehard lib who hates the idea of a motivated, successful American.

I worked in the private sector for over 40 years. Those people aren't any more special than anybody else. Deal with that fact. When my first emoyer went belly up my prayers had been answered. They deserved it for mistreating their employees.

You’re disturbed. You’re the one who bragged how his son quit on his employer with no notice, right before a critical work trip.

If it weren’t for private employers, nobody would have a job. What’s your plan? Get everyone on the government dole?

Nope. He retired. When one retires one no longer works at the job they retire from. It wouldn't be right to retire and attend the business trip. Free and clear. Chains off. The employer can't do anything about it. It's a beautiful thing. Let someone else do it. I'm just saying bad business owners should be shut down when they mistreat people is all. Do you believe he owed his employer of 17 years to ho on that trip? If so, explain why.

He retired WITH NO ADVANCE NOTICE. A decent person, or one RAISED by a decent person, would not do that.

Your hate for businesses and successful people is a recipe for the decline of America - which is what you libs want.

 

[initforme]

He is formed his hr person within the proper timeline. He was an employee, not a slave. Perhaps you can't see it's up to the hr person to inform people. So the emoyer pleaded with him to attend. He told her to stuff it, albeit nicely. Attending once retired goes against the american way.

I don't hate anyone. I worked for over 40 years in the godforsaken ugly rat race. Once one retires one owes nothing to anything or anyone. You want me to fall on my knees and thank someone for something?

People executing the aid are being fired
If you want to shift a function, you move the people to State….you don’t fire them

Unless you dont need those folks to do that job. Given some of the programs USAID was funding Im guessing that was the case here.

14% of working adults work for the Government. (Fed, State, Local). That's fucking insane.

Good answer!

And the way you determine what you need and don’t need is to study the agency, talk to the workers about what works and what doesn’t. Come up with a plan about what you will do better

Musk could not do that in a month.
He just fired indiscriminately

And everyone would say that everyone was "critical personnel". Anyone being honest with themself will admit that. Sometimes you have to turn off the entire machine to figure out which parts actually need turned back on.

Very few of the stories of these people being fired are focused on the critical role they actually play. It's the agency does a thing or they are losing their job and Trump doesnt care.

You don’t understand what real audits really mean. You examine what the mission is, how it is being accomplished, who is critical and who is expendable

Musk’s Chain Saw does not do that

 

[Lesh]

They're going to get 8 months of pay and benefits.

That’s gonna be costly for the taxpayers

Exactly. You don’t blow it up and start over. That throws away all the money spent building it .

 

[Scoutster]

Not as much as keeping them employed long-term

And 40% of the adults in the DC region are either federal govt employees or contractors. No wonder the area is the richest on the country.

I bet that place that charges $28 for a steak salad at lunch (plus soda, tax, and tip brings lunch to $40) will start bringing their prices down now that the govt employees and contractors are not ripping off the taxpayer.
