As shutdown threatens, public trust of federal workers at record lows

  1. TRUST ? ......A report by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in January of this year showed that, for the first time, a majority of Americans (52 percent) said that the federal government “threatens their personal rights and freedoms.”

    And federal workers themselves are unhappier too, according to the 2012 results of the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, a poll by the Office of Management and Personnel.

    Fewer than half of respondents to the survey said that they are satisfied with the information flow at their workplace, with the policies of senior leadership and with their opportunities for career mobility.

    Satisfaction with pay was down from 66 percent in 2010 to 59 percent in 2012, and just 21 percent said that pay raises were fairly tied to work performance.
