Keep jobs for those that are actually already doing the work and eliminate the slackers. Believe me, we had plenty in the government contracted company where I worked. I have seen it first-hand. We had one guy who used to walk around with a paint bucket in his hand all day. Took time out for breaks and lunch. First in line to clock out. Never, ever saw him applying paint to anything! One of our clerks would go through the in basket and take all the easy tasks for herself, leaving the harder jobs for the rest of us. If an emergency job came in, before the supervisor could get it assigned, she magically was in the restroom, hand-delivering finished work, etc. I could go on and on, but you should get the picture by now.
Some like Boeing think that just because it is for the government, that it is an open checkbook. Trump is trying to monitor those checkbooks and rein in the unchecked spending. Why is that a problem?

Women and minorities...pretty much worthless as employees.

Reassigning or firing a mismatched employee seems to be hard and hiring compent employees can also be difficult as there are a number of rules that do not apply to competency that you have to consider in making the hiring decision. Hopefully the rules will change to allow for the termination of employees that are not adequately performing and to hire the best qualified employee for the job.

Affirmative action and quotas...THAT is what ruined us and needs to end. THAT is why there are incompetent people working in government. We carry 20% dead wood because of "diversity".

We've dropped to #25...it's going to be a long hard climb. And unless we start changing the demographics...it WON'T change...it'll only get worse.
NO MORE affirmative action...NO MORE quotas.
