“When I was hired, my boss bragged that it was basically impossible to get fired from the federal government.And that in her entire time working for the government, she'd only seen one person fired”
“When I worked for the government, we were allowed to work 50% in the office and 50% from home, for the most part. In some cases, if you'd worked there, like, I think over 10 years or something, you could actually work from home three days a week and work from the office two days a week”
“One employee spent his time remote working, running his own farm.”
“Another employee bragged about drunk driving and going out to lunch with her friends for margaritas when she was supposed to be remote working. No one would log into their computers and you can see it because they're not on Teams and no one ever checked. Ever.”
“There's something called the 80-20 rule where 80% of the work in government is done by 20% of the people and this is very, very true”
“People who get a job in the government a lot of times find out that it's very difficult to fire them and they take advantage of this.”
“Another employee would take the government truck on an almost daily basis so that he could go out to lunch and then go and take a nap in his favorite park under a shady tree in the government truck.”
“Our government is filled with the most incompetent and most lazy people and an occasional hard worker. And those hard workers are severely punished every time they outwork their colleagues. Because then the colleagues realize people will see that they're lazy and they don't want to have to work more. They're just buying time until they retire in almost every case.”
