Jobs eliminated in reorganization. Happens regularly in industry. Aren't these gov jobs meddling in others affairs, or maybe work-from-homers that never came back?. These actually are not very big numbers of people compared to what happens when a large corporation reorganizes. This is happening now for a good reason.
This reveals a Federal employee “culture” where once you are in, you NEVER get let go or fired! You only get moved around between Departments & agencies but you do have to put up with a TWO YEAR PROBATIONARY PERIOD; which is to my knowledge, unheard of in the private sector.
Commercial generally is competitive and 3-5% annual raise, bonuses, stock options and (for engineers generally 10-30% more pay. But RIFs, layoffs, off-shoring are common
Govt jobs offer 3% step increases every year for 1-3; then 2 years between steps from each step 4-6; then 3 year step durations for step 7-10. Then you are stuck unless you can get a promotion
You won’t get rich. But the stability is the sales pitch
In my experience government salaries are higher than the private sector. Benefits are good & there are retirement plans. One need only look at the Congressional Retirement plan!
Congressional pay scale doesn’t compare with commercial
But looking at GS payables with your typical engineer at GS-12 (Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, CompSci, Aerospace etc) commercial pays much better.
But job security is just not good. H1B can replace you at any time
That culture has no tolerance for independent thought, or questioning the official narrative.
