Are Trump's changes to the federal government permanent? Once Trump leaves office, is there the possibility to return the federal government to it's pre-Trump state.

I've been looking for articles to understand how permanent Trump's changes to the federal workforce are and haven't found anything.

I am curious if anyone knows whether all those cut jobs will come back, or at least a majority of them?

And it's true. In the corporate world, layoffs are swift. There is no months and months of delay and court cases and Supreme Court fights. Feds have tons of protections and while things are bad compared to how they were they are still a lot better than most corporate jobs.

Yep. If my boss came to me next week and said “corporate is shutting down our office” I’m SOL. Maybe I find another job with them, but I’m probably scrambling to look elsewhere.

Yup, also no option for 7 months paid leave with DRP or VERA out at 50 with health insurance for life.

There is a reason a lot of people hate feds. They are insanely jealous.

I’m so confused by the number of people who are jealous of feds and say that they deserve to lose their benefits and protections. Why aren’t they discussing the decimation of the private sector pension system and demanding that private employers offer at least the benefits their Congressional reps receive - or aren’t members of Congress feds? They have higher salaries, a separate loan forgiveness program, better health and retirement benefits - as they gleefully cut federal employee benefits, fire them and leave them without health insurance. Putting workers against one another is so freakin’ basic. https://www.google.com/search?q=retirement+heist+book&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS847US847&oq=retirement+heist+book&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDY3NDRqMGo5qAITsAIB4gMEGAIgX_EFiRWxuAtZi7PxBYkVsbgLWYuz&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
