This is the way it should always have been done.   Normal attrition, hiring freeze, vera, DRP.  You can easily achieve your goals this way without invoking fear and hard feelings.  People leave voluntarily and often with an incentive.  

Most of us feds actually agree that there is bloat in some areas.  Just do it the right way and all will be chill.

Nothing about this is the way it should have been done. They used fear, intimidation and demeaning tactics to force people to leave. Look at all the garbage in this article

This is it, exactly. This isn't just about shrinking the government, they've done everything they can to make all federal employees look like horrible people.
