Well, that backfires. Making raised in the federal government tied to performance (competition) is going to be great for most veterans.
Not necessarily, I have Army buddies who work for the Federal government and I'm told their independence and no bullshit attitude puts them on the outside of the political circle jerk of leadership quite often.
Sadly, when I was getting out of the Army most of my transition classes focused on how to get a Federal job.
Best thing I got out of it was some pretty good insights into resume writing but that’s it.

Cuz your average government worker is easily twice as productive as a private sector worker. Why even audit their performance? They’re entitled to yearly raises by sheer virtue of their superior work ethic.

Trump cancels pay raises for almost 2 million federal workers
‘In light of our nation’s fiscal situation, federal employee pay must be performance-based,’ the president wrote in a Thursday letter to congressional leaders.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday he was canceling
across-the-board pay raises for civilian workers across the federal government, citing the “nation’s fiscal situation.”
“We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” the president wrote in a letter to congressional leaders.
Under Trump’s policy, roughly 1.8 million people
wouldn’t get an automatic pay boost next year, including Border Patrol and ICE agents.
(Media experiences a sudden and inexplicable sense of sympathy for ICE agents and border patrol, lulz)
That stance puts vulnerable GOP lawmakers representing northern Virginia — home to tens of thousands of federal workers — in the political crosshairs. And it sets up an all-but-certain funding fight with Congress next month, as party leaders attempt to reach a sweeping agreement to keep the government open before the start of the next fiscal year on Oct. 1.
Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), an endangered GOP incumbent in the House, said she would work to reverse the pay freeze.
“We cannot balance the budget on the backs of our federal employees
(because it’s way too fucking high - hahah) and I will work with my House and Senate colleagues to keep the pay increase in our appropriations measures that we vote on in September,” Comstock wrote in a sharply worded statement...

Trump: automatic pay increases just because you exist are bullshit. We need to award raises based on job performance.
Gov’t Employees: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Yeah, I ordered a replacement MAGA hat.
Fuck ‘em up, you cheetoh lookin’ sumbittch.
That hack bitch GOP Congresswomen is an example of the reason the US is doomed to failure - she doesnt have the integrity to do what’s actually in the peoples’s best interest.....
Nonsuprise though - all republics die the same way mostly.

This Federal Workers online magazine says Federal Workers are Underpaid

Say they make 32% less than private sector peers.
So, this is the stuff they are going to be pushing back with.

That would explain why government jobs have such a hard time getting filled, and so many people who quit their government jobs in search of lucrative private sector work are flooding the unemployment office.
Lulz.

Don't know about you, but $120K a year is not underpaid............. Oh, and BTW, that is BEFORE a bunch of other benefits. With $120K a year, you could live a happy healthy existence in any city in the US, even San Fran and DC.

Anyone feeling sympathy for Government workers need only work as a contractor at a government facility to overcome that shit.
Taxpayer funded lazy farms for incompetents.

He does have an impeccable sense of timing, doesn't he? It keeps em vacillating between bumbling orange buffoon and evil genius playing 4d chess.
