Here’s the problem with this. Employees who take voluntary layoffs often have a lot of confidence in their ability to find new work. They believe in their skills and aren’t worried about landing another job. On the other hand, those who stay might be less motivated and less sure about their chances in the job market. They might feel uncertain about being hired elsewhere, which can lead to feeling stuck and less satisfied with their job. This creates a situation where the more confident and capable employees are the ones who are more likely to leave, while those who stay might be more cautious or less optimistic about their career options.
So what you end up doing is scraping the cream from the top and leaving the less talented. In the business world this is a good way to boost short term profits but what you’re left with often goes bankrupt. It’s happened multiple times in the tech world.
You see, your mistake was thinking that they want to make things better and are just misguided. The point is to gut the government and make it bad.
I don’t even think that’s the complete end goal. I think they want a bunch of people either completely loyal and will do whatever they ask or completely fearful and act the exact same way.
To destabilize is the goal.
Also there are federal employees who have chronic illnesses and can‘t change employer as easily since not every other employer has the same benefits.
Yeah I never even considered your second thing. Excellent point.
