The OPM's new recruitment plan keeps adding layers when the real question is how many of these roles are truly essential. Performance-based decisions and smaller agencies would serve taxpayers better than another hiring push.

Bloat is the problem, not staffing quotas. Cut the fat and keep the mission.
Fewer layers, real accountability, smaller footprint. Government hiring sprees rarely end well.
OPM keeps building bigger when the fix is firing non-performers and shrinking the whole thing.
Performance metrics over endless hiring makes sense to me.
Agreed. More bureaucracy rarely fixes what’s already overbuilt.
Exactly right, too many layers before we even ask if the job is needed.
Smaller agencies and real performance metrics beat endless hiring. Cut the bloat first.
Exactly. Too many layers already.
Streamlining agencies beats another hiring wave. Performance metrics should drive every role.
Smaller agencies, actual performance reviews. Been saying the same thing about bloated bureaucracies for years.
