28% of federal employees may quit their jobs when Trump assumes office: Poll

Almost two-thirds of federal employees voted for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election, according to a new survey.

The poll also found that six of 10 felt that the election itself gave Americans a negative impression of federal service.

So it may come as no surprise that some federal employees are considering leaving their employment when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.

“More than one in four federal workers, or 28 percent, will definitely or possibly consider leaving their jobs after Jan. 20 when Trump is sworn into office and becomes leader of the executive branch,” according to the survey conducted by the Government Business Council and Government Executive, which both track the trends of the field.

At least half of them are probably hoping to quit before he fires them!

Easily half of the federal workforce is unqualified and incapable of doing the jobs they are employed to do. So many in the federal government hold gimme positions that started as affirmative action and diversity goals.

I can't wait to see them go!

Let 'em leave, we need to get rid of a bunch of those idiots. For sooo long we have been swamped with these crybabies and their attitudes. If they feel so inclined to leave, don't let the door hit you in the A$$.

They are not about to leave a job which has great pay, retirement, seniority,vacation, sick leave, personal leave. Does anyone think they would leave all this for a job that has low pay and no benefits?

I agree 100% with you. No way they jump off the gravy train. Heck, I thought about quitting almost every day for over 30 years in the private sector, little bit different from doing it!
