The thinking goes like this: I've been in this job over 20 years, I don't want to start over. They won't force me out. I have lots on institutional knowledge. They don't know that these decisions are made at a level where they don't give a shit. It's all about numbers. You're just a statistic. That is it.
Yea, take the money while you can.
Except now they are forcing people out.
I frankly wouldn't mind if all of a sudden, every government job was eliminated and then people had to re-apply. Each department had to be justified to exist.
Today, government is only wealth redistribution. It no longer governs, but is an intermediary between special interests and taxpayers. We should only be paying between 3% - 5% of GDP in taxes. Any more is waste and corruption.
