You are again just finding cases where people lost their desks and it
goes into great detail explaining how they got relocated.

You claimed that federal workers don't get fired. I provided numerous
examples. Sorry if you can't handle it.

Go back and read my original note again. I said they can't get fired
as long as they show up for work and they don't get caught stealing.
You gave us one example of the PATA guys being fired for not showing
up at work.
It is a violation of the law that allows a federal union for the
members to strike. That is black letter law.
They should have all been fired. There may even be criminal penalties
attached.


The rest of your links only talked about the extraordinary lengths
they go to relocate people when their agency closes.

You also linked articles about the shutdowns and they all ended up
with everyone keeping their jobs.

I suppose you could say the Walkers got fired but they stole national
secrets.

You seem to think that it's an uncommon private business practice to
not attempt to place workers in other jobs. Big companies do this all
the time. While it's more difficult to fire Fed employees, it's not
impossible. Please show us some numbers that support all the
"incompetence" of Fed workers. Seems to me they mostly do a good job.
