Anecdotal evidence is just that though. There are plenty of poor performing Republican public sector employees as well. And while it's difficult to terminate an employee it's not impossible. It doesn't mean we need to eliminate entire agencies to get rid of a few bad apples. That seems like poor management as well.

While I just included one example, I could list many more. I had a conversation with my coworker about this very thing no less than an hour ago. Her words: "GS employees are allowed to get away with murder." I agree with you that anecdotal evidence is not necessarily indicative of a larger problem, but this trend has held true between the two government organizations where I've worked. These stereotypes exist for a reason. "Good enough for government work."
Hey, your experience sounds challenging. However, I just donтАЩt know if firing ALL federal workers is the solution (and I do believe the intent is to fire the majority of them). A bit тАЬthrowing the baby out with the bath waterтАЭ in my opinion, especially considering the enormous harm done to good workers, their families, the communities and business their salaries support. I donтАЩt think anyone on the left is against reduction of waste, better investment of government dollars and in fact, I donтАЩt think anyone on the left wants bad government employees to be un-fireable (as a lefty I desperately want good, effective programs to succeed and ineffective ones to be canceled). I take issue with the blanket rhetoric that bureaucrats are bad and government spending is inherently bad.
I'm very sorry you've worked for two poorly managed government organizations. While I have experienced a few bad apples overall that has not been my experience at all. The people I have worked with have been hard workers who care about their jobs and the work they do.
