Trump is set to sign an executive order Friday outlining a new direction for the nations largest employer during a meeting of the board that advises the administration on worker policy.
Ivanka Trump, the presidents daughter and adviser, is co-chair of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board and has worked on improving job training to meet employers changing needs.
The federal government is the nations largest employer with 2.1 million civilian workers, excluding postal service employees.

So I have to ask - What's the catch.
Where are the Trump crime family hiding, what's there to steal?

Maybe they are trying to lower the job requirements to pay a lower wage?

That's probably where they will start, you'll have to pay for* your uniforms designed by the czarina and...
*Many agencies have allowances for uniforms because they are expensive and required.

(7,690 posts)To get a job, we have to take auditions. An audition is way different than a job interview -- you actually have to get up in front of a bunch of people at a designated time (their designation) and designated place (theirs...) and play some of the hardest, gnarliest stuff in the repertoire. And you have to play things no one told you about beforehand ("sight-reading" . Furthermore, as you're playing and just getting into the music, they cut you off and tell you to do the next task. There are no do-overs whatsoever, no excuses for not being able to perform at the highest level (99+% accuracy) at that particular random moment in time.
I'd like to see Spanky's pals do something that hard in the jobs they were offered. They would all be shown to be incompetent before they were offered the job.
