Do you have any idea how much pressure it takes for a lifer Govy employee to "resign"?
In my case, zero, might be the same for those folks too. You've got salary freezes for 3 straight years, the furlough, a pitiful 1% raise this year, moral is horrible - same situation when I left in 1996 for a job in the private sector paying 40% more with a 5 figure signing bonus and 5 year contract for safety (I was headhunted by a VP of a contractor doing work for me). Even continued doing the same work for the most part, stayed on some programs I was working on as a govvy, just switched sides and was much, much happier (plus a lot more money in my bank account ;-).
