Trump Announces Brutal Changes to Gov’t Worker Pay

[longknife]

This should surely drain the swamp - quickly. Pay raises based upon merit for federal workers? Unheard of.

Senior officials with the Office of Management and Budget who spoke anonymously with The Washington Times said the plan aimed to put a stop to regular, tenure-and merit-based raises for more than 1.5 million federal workers and instead focus on performance-based raises.

In other words, federal employees will now have to work hard for their raises, and those who do not perform well could be fired.

There’s no one left in the military from a draft . We have a professional military. They are government employees too.

And how does this merit thing work? Is it all political ?

Look up "up or out", someone who stays in the same grade for too long, especially officers usually take the hint and leave the service.

They are not exactly federal employees. They are enlisted or commissioned, different than the hiring process for basically any other federal employee.

Pay raises based upon merit for federal workers?

Alright you never Trumpers, what is wrong with merit based pay raises for anyone? Why is this a bad thing since the majority of private companies work on this system,

Look up “Afghanistan war”. 16 years later and it’s the same old shit as pretty much when we started . All the pentagon should be fired .

Liberals hating on the military again. You know what? This country needs to fail, just to show these bastards what the reality of their fucked up policies create.

You are talking policy vs employee retention. Try discussing the point for once.

They get a government paycheck for their job. They sign a contract . Semantics .

Military pay is established by Congress and only they can change it. Military regulations determine how promotions are considered. Demotions come under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

No. We are talking about doing a good job. I pointed out how the war has been a failure . Heads should roll . ( I realize that was a poor choice of words as soon as I typed it. Lol!)

At the higher levels they serve at the sufferance of the President. Ones that high that are dismissed from say a Joints Chiefs slot usually retire right after.

We are talking about the "window-watchers", something I have a personal experience with at the City level.
