Can someone explain to me the disdain people hold for federal employees?
In DC that’s closer to 70%.IMHO at least 1/3 don't contribute to anything ...

Apart from the science/space/DOD FED orgs, I agree with the above. The science/space/DOD orgs do have their share of slackers but no where near the level of the State, HUD, Education,etc orgs.
The federal government employs 2.1 million civilian workers in hundreds of agencies at offices across the nation. The federal workforce imposes a substantial burden on America’s taxpayers. In 2017 wages and benefits for executive branch civilian workers cost $276 billion.
Since the 1990s, federal workers have enjoyed faster compensation growth than private-sector workers. In 2016 federal workers earned 80 percent more, on average, than private-sector workers. And federal workers earned 42 percent more, on average, than state and local government workers.
In 2016 federal civilian workers had an average wage of $88,809, according the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). By comparison, the average wage for the nation’s 114 million private-sector workers was $59,458.

In 2016 total federal compensation averaged $127,259 or 80 percent more than the private-sector average of $70,764, as shown in Figure 2.
As well as how long it took to fire one...
UNION Protect dead weight
.... coming to work at around 5:00 am in the morning.
That's not who's being protected. Many members of the protected classes are the ones who need to go, but, EEO hangs over all our heads like the sword of Damocles.
how the hell did he get away with this :shrug:
that is not 'normal' business hours
So if you can make it early enough then you can leave early enough as well..
Being a federal contractor for the past 7 years I can tell you that many federal employees are some of the worst employees in the world. These are the type of people that you would never hire if you were creating/starting a company. They are usually the type of people that are lazy, difficult to work with or have major psychological issues. I can tell you many horror stories of federal employees.

A guy I worked with had a very difficult personality. I only worked with him for 1 year or so.
So he started worked for the agency and had a female boss, he didn't get along with her and they argued, he filed a formal complaint against her. He was later transferred to another boss, he had a problem with her after a year or so. At some point he got into a raging argument with his boss and was escorted out of the building. He was given FMLA and paid leave for a month to work out psychological issues. He was finally transferred to a department by himself, a woman was hired to be his boss after some time. Since he had more seniority he was angry and eventually filed another (3rd or 4th one) against her.
In this complaint he also mentioned that in our work department no one is at their desk. He says this because the only thing he was ever good at is coming to work at around 5:00 am in the morning. He lived in DC so it was easy, while everyone else came from NoVa, Rockville, etc... We also had various meetings taskings throughout the day.
This caused the HR department to start monitoring us more carefully to see what percentage of time we were at our desks. We had to explain any time we got up and left for major times (meetings, lunch, trainings).
Anyway this 4th complaint he filed was unfounded and for some reason they used it to terminate him with.
Guess what, this guy had been working for the same agency for 6 years. By the time he left he was drawing around 140K (less than what I made ), his skills and abilities were also very low. Later speaking to people he took a lot of psychological medication and had various issues etc....
