Some of the smugger comments make me glad they're going to be unhirable after this year.
"Us government workers are the real saints, all you private sector people we force to fund us are just driven by money. Not like us who need to be spoonfed jobs."
Uh big government is actually good chud 
I'm very curious what program they ran.... 
This is my favorite delusion so far. Getting free donut house coffee is somehow an amazing perk.

Thankfully no federal employee has ever not kept up their performance after their probationary period ended.

My friend worked for the state and said it was pretty much impossible to get fired unless you were doing something illegal, and even then, there was a long process. He didn't work for months because he was getting drunk all day, and not only did they not fire him, they hounded him to rehire him after he quit. Any time I work with any org that takes tax money, they are completely fricking useless and the employees seem to always be on PTO. I've worked with like 4 different black ladies who took 6+ month vacations. And it always seems like they have to put them on leave for a year to fire them for some reason.

For a short while I worked on trying to get the government to approve STIG guidelines for a certain Linux distribution, and it was awful. Because it wasn't exactly what they were used to, I had to dumb down the guidelines more and more until an actual child could follow them and not frick up. Sometimes they got reviewed by a competent guy and it was great, sometimes they got reviewed by someone who ignored my docs and just assumed this distro worked like every other, and broke everything.
I stopped focusing on this project, it still needs to get done, but at this point we're just extending the deadline until somebody has the fortitude to pull it off.

It's pretty much impossible to get fired from most jobs, isn't it?
I unno I spend half my time zoning out in pointless zoom meetings, but this a ruthless profit-focused organization according to our execs, so I guess me sitting in a two hour "market strategy briefing" so I can filter and relay the one piece of info relevant to my team (some data extracts probably need to go to a new server for one client) is worth $300 to them.
