The real reason they are going after Civil Servants. The reason they ALWAYS go after Civil Servants

34. Accurate. One small correction

There is no GS-16. The GS pay scale only goes to 15, which is what I was.

I was just discussing this today with a friend who did not work in government, trying to explain why federal employees are so bewildered at what is happening right now. It’s because the culture of the federal workplace is about Rules, regulations, and procedures. And all of that has been completely thrown out the window by these ridiculous sweeping moves that don’t follow any rules, and have no plan for implementation or how to proceed.

The illegality aside., who exactly is going to process the paperwork for all these buyouts, when of your HR staff has been put on admin leave or fired because they telework from two states away?
(Hint: Human resources work is a good example of the kind of work that lends itself to telework — As are the vast numbers of analyst jobs in the federal government.)
