     I had an old co-worker who won't shut up about Orange Man, even though it really hasn't affected his job at all. I use to work with him 20 years ago. The dude bitches about his job all the time, but he'd easily make 1.5x as much in the private sector and could easily jump to any of the other big three companies in town, but he won't even apply and just bitches.
     
     I'm glad I got out of federal work. I've learned so much more jumping corporate jobs ever 1~3 years. I think people who have been their institutionally would be insanely behind going to any other tech job.

     Some of them. I have friends in power and social security who said they never got the buyout for September e-mail, so only a subset people are getting that option. It's not clear what the criteria is either.

     @djsumdog @D00B Keep in mind these people are also likely getting severance pay and buy out offers if they quit willingly.
