#1 12 percent of people said they were unsure of what they would do.

...or have been doing.

#4 Half of those who said they were leaving are retirement-eligible and have considered an early retirement

This (14% - could be higher) is very likely accurate and should be fully exploited via retirement incentives. The 'key' is not backfilling the vacancies through the implementation of hiring freezes.

#5 There are four times more people working for the public sector (relative to the size of the population at large) now as there were before the Great Society evil was foisted on America.

We need to return the size of the public "work" force to that level.

#6 So Cool it can't possibly be that wonderful. It sounds so good you HAVE to doubt it. Nothing could be that awesome.

Probably Fake News.
But it is VERY nice to hear.

#7 And in Hollywood nobody who said they would go to Canada ever kept their word and actually did go.

So a lot of Bureaucrats "say" they will quit? Hollywood words. Just Hollywood promises. No one will quit. FAKE news.

#8 When I first started looking for a job the deal was that you went into Public Service for the security and you went into the Private Sector for the money.

Now both benefits reside in the Public Sector.

Can that be changed?

#10 while 37 percent of people would look for a job outside federal government

That's the funniest thing I've read in months.

#11 I wish... but I doubt it. Parasites don't leave willingly.

#12 Anyone remember the outrage and throngs of disgruntled FBI agents who threatened resignation and early retirement following Director Comey's refusal to recommend an indictment against HRC ?

#14 while 37 percent of people would look for a job outside federal government

I left the Mass. Dept. of Revenue in 1992 after a four year stint. These people have no fucking idea whatsoever the world of hurt they are about to encounter if they think they can find comparable work in the Dreaded Private Sector at or near the same level of pay. It's far, far more likely they're about to become state hacks instead of Federal hacks.

#15 A survey by the same groups taken before the election showed that 35 percent of government workers would consider quitting their jobs if Trump won the election.

A key point, buried at the bottom of the article: the number considering leaving is dropping as the job market reality intrudes.

#16 "Half of those surveyed said that Trump’s business experience would "hinder his management of the federal government"

As Dr. Raymond Stantz: "You don't know what it's like out there! I've WORKED in the private sector. They expect *results*.
