The last month should demonstrate that the government is a terrible steward of jobs. Shutdowns and dysfunction are on a bad trend. Half the board (Congress) won't talk to the other half, and the CEO (President) is a narcissist at best.
I don't think anyone who relies on a paycheck should work for the government, unless God himself touched their heart with his finger and made that their calling. Although the man in the article is probably desperate enough to give that a shot.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoI don’t think the shutdowns are quite that bad yet (unless you’re a contractor). Everyone—except contractors—got back pay when the government re-opened. A vouple months delayed pay can absolutely be devistating to someone at a certain income level, and I don’t want to discount the hardship the recent shutdown has caused. But, I imagine most people well-off enough to have a programming job wouldn’t have too many cash flow issues, given proper financial planning.
- johnny22 8y agomost governments in the world don't have shutdowns like the US though. The US doesn't need to have them either.
