I'd say approximately 10% are exceptional employees, 20% are quite good, 50% average, 15% that could definitely be better and 5% that should be fired.
The 15% that could be better are often not in the right fit, I will say I have seen people in this group start doing better and even thriving when their manager moved on and they got a new one. As far as managers go, that is my biggest disappointment in the federal work force, maybe its because I work with a lot of engineers and I've already stated that engineers make terrible supervisors. If they are a good engineer they typically are micromanagers that just can't let employees do their jobs.
If Musk expects the federal work force to lean more toward the exceptional end of things then the pay really has to go up, starting pay for an engineer needs to go up by approximately $25k/year to recruit talent and journeyman pay by about $40k/year to keep talent. One of my machinist friends told me they are in such demand that they can basically name their price with the hot contractor of the month and get it, he owns a small contract company and he is even having trouble keeping machinists because he can't afford to pay them the current going rate.

I asked for the bike, remember? Are you telling me you normally ask for pictures of kids on your Santa List? Guess I am glad it was this year Santa mixed things up.
Santa didn't mix up crap, you were thinking about naked dead women and Santa read your mind, lists are for children chomo.
Fun fact: people in the private sector have to find new jobs all the time. Like, ALL the time. If the company they work for is downsizing, jobs go on the chopping block.
Well, the government is downsizing.
The hysterics are making a big deal about "Oh no! People will be fired!" like that's the end of the world and their only choice will be to live in a box under a bridge. And that's silly. They'll find another job.
And many times, they get zero notice.
They definitely don't get a buyout.
??? They very often - get severance.
Have you ever lost your job? For rather - flimsy - reasons?Way more often than not they do not get severance. Their parting gift is a
When Hunter Douglas closed their manufacturing facility in Cumberland, the employees, if they weren't willing to relocate, got a few weeks severance. The State/County offered them occupational re-training classes.
You need to get out more and mingle with society.
Over the mask, yes.
I was thinking more along the lines of hey my girlfriend will be starting today - clean out your desk.

The State Farm Agent in Hughesville did that to someone I know, hired her husband after letting her go.
At first blush it looks like someone collecting the checks on behalf of someone long after they died but ---
Since I think SSNs are never recycled - this is almost certainly an illegal alien using a dead person's SSN.
