President Trump plans to take the huge federal Civil Service off cruise control, ending automatic pay increases that go to 99.7 percent of the workforce, trimming fat benefit packages, and for the “worst,” rolling out his trademark phrase from The Apprentice, “You’re fired!”
In his budget, set for release Monday, his administration is planning the biggest reform to the federal workforce in decades, using models from Amazon, Google, and a handful of well-operating agencies.
Officials said the overall goal is to bring the 1950s-styled Civil Service into the digital age, introduce automation, reward “the best” with bonuses, make it easier to hire and fire, and provide “flexibility” by moving employees where they are needed and even rehiring skilled retirees.

Great ideas. I heard all this before. AL Gore had this mission under Clinton. DOD claims to do it ever 5 years when they roll out a new personnel system. We just rolled out one this year. Nothing changes because the system is on autopilot.

These fired civil servants will never be able to maintain a non-government job. Not that I feel sorry for those that are fired, I just hope that there are significant numbers looking for non-government employment.
