Outrageous: 94% of Feds Work From Home

Outrageous:

94% of Feds Work From Home

5 Dec 2024 ~~ By David Strom

The federal workforce is the equivalent of the Soviet Nomenklatura.
The big difference between the Soviet bureaucracy and the US federal bureaucracy is that a much larger percentage of the federal workforce gets the special benefits that were reserved for top Communist Party members in the Soviet Union.
The Daily Wire's invaluable reporter, Luke Rosiak, reports on the sorry state of the federal workforce and on the Department of Government Efficiency's determination to reform a broken system.

~Snip~

Bureaucrats are so entrenched that many choose not to work at all, finding creative ways to fool the few tools the government uses to ensure that absent employees are actually doing the work they are supposed to.
~Snip~
With a Republican trifecta--control over the House, the Senate, and the presidency, Republicans should be in a position to get rid of public employee unions, but don't count on this happening without a 60-vote majority in the Senate. Not only will Democrats fight and die on this hill--public employees are a key constituency of the Democrats and one of the secrets to their hold on big city politics--but chances are good that some Republicans will work to sabotage any attempt to rein in the power of government workers.
The federal government is the largest employer in the United States, and when you toss in state and local governments about 25 million are government employees, blowing away any employer in the private sector. That's a large chunk of the entire workforce and a powerful political constituency that is tied to other unions and nonprofits, all of whom would mobilize to protect their fellow union members.

Government is perhaps the only industry in which the bosses actively reward inefficiency. Every time a government agency fails to do its job well, Congress rewards it with a higher budget to address the issue. In the private sector, failure usually leads to restructuring; in government, failure leads to larger budgets.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy understand this fact very well. The real question is whether the elephantine bureaucracy can stubbornly wait them out and use inertia to blunt their efforts to prod the agencies into reform.
I don't know who to bet on. Will two of the smartest minds in America win the battle, or the agencies whose specialty is protecting its perks and pay?

Commentary:
David Strom uses the term "Work" when referring to the bureaucrats working from home.
It's no wonder that anything done by the gov't turns into a clusterfuck. We pay these bureaucrats to work every day like the rest of us, but they fail to appear much less do their jobs.
They need to get their fat asses to work!! This should be very easy for Elon and Vivek to get rid of 50% of these lazy asshats!!
Obviously most even when at their desks were not working according to reports of illegal use of federal property accessing Porn sites.

I can't help wondering how the country would be different if 94% of what trump said was true rather than they're being lies.
 
Prove this true.
When you can't, tell us if you were lying, or talking out your ass.
Your buddy just said it was a third. Was he lying?

Are you a loud mouthed troll?


No

Yes
 

Next.
So 54% work completely in person

10% work completely remote

The rest are a hybrid of both

Trump’s a liar
 
What reports?
Always SOME who will abuse their job. working from home or in the office.
I only have two up close personal views. One private company employee who works their ass off to keep the family feed.
and one in office employee who does as little as possible because they are close to retirement. Making others in office work harder. Of course there are places that need cutting. Just as there are places that need harder working more skilled & honest at doing their job. lets start with the politicians.
 
He, if some people have to be on site to stock shelves at Wal-Mart. Then all employees that actually went to school, developed marketable skills that can be done anywhere should - you know - have to be in a cubical so as not to hurt the "fffeeeeeellliiinnngggsss" of the shelf stocker.

Just say'n.

WW
BLESS those willing to stock shelfs in Walmart.
And those willing to stay hunched over a computer home or any where else.
YOU know US, the people that do 90% of all the work.
 
Oh please. If you have tons of Feds getting paid $100,000 for a full-time job that they all can do in five hours a day, YOU HAVE TOO MANY EMPLOYEES.

YOU have a mentality of a government worker, with no sense of…..well….anything.
Would be interested in the number of fed employee's making 100 thousand a year or more.
Who are not political employees, or have extensive education & experience in there field???

Plenty of glorified secretaries without college are earning around $70,000 or $80,000. Surveys have shown that high school grads in govt come out more ahead of their peers in private than any other sub-group.

As far as your average bachelor’s degree holder, coming up near the bottom of their class, plenty are GS13 step 10 at $156,000. Those at GS14 step 10 at $185,000. They’ve all been “working” at home for five years, bitching about having to come into the office once a week, and spent much of the working day on their own personal stuff.

The only ones who are earning less than their private counterparts are the very top - the GS15 department chiefs and whatnot. They are capped at $190,000.
 
GS 12-15 $100k on up.

And closer to $150,000 once you hit GS 13 and step 10. People I know who are average usually get stuck here, because at GS 14, you have to compete. (Up until then, you just get promoted for breathing and not stabbing anyone.)

And these are people who would not be able to cut it in private. So, they have been very lucky up until now to get a government job where mediocrity is tolerated, hours are short, and pay is “stuck” near $150k.
 
They usually know alot less than the guys actually doing the labor. A lot lot lot less. They are easily not needed. Can em.
Often that is true. now days lots are hired because they have college degrees, and know way less than those who
have done the actual labor required by actual learning from WORKING at low paying jobs
Life is not often fair, No good reason to hate ANY ONE who must work for a living.
