While this sounds nice, I'm not entirely sure how you implement it. Do you enact these measures for all future employees and let the current grandfathered employees retire out, or; do you immediately force this upon all current government employees?
I don't understand all the legalities of it, and I'm sure employee unions will create an incredible defense. However, I agree. I like your plan. I hate the lifetime government employee who never fears getting fired. In the military, at least post sergeant or E-5 rank, they conduct pro/cons pretty religiously and man, if you don't make those numbers, you'll never see staff sergeant or E-6. It should be that competitive in government and more, where they force you out for underperformance.
I'd honestly force it upon all current employees. Those who stay will maybe get a 10% increase in pay with their retirement rolled over into a 401K. They will work their contract then no longer be allowed to work for the Federal Government at their current contract level.
So example
Becky from CDC. Designation File Clerk 65k a year, with 40k in benefits. Total payout is 105k total. She decides to stay on as a non-manger clerk. She will obtain a 10 year contract at 71,500 for 10 years. Her pay in stipulation for the Union is roughly 8k a year towards her retirement plan. She's worked 10 years has managed to have a 108k controbution to her plan. That 108k is rolled into the new 401k, a hard cap of 25k is added as bonus by the government and is rolled into the new account. So whatever dollar she sends to her 401k is matched by $1.50 from the Feds.
If Becky chooses to not stay on, her severance package is 173k. Her retirement fund + 1 year salary. She will also have a Freeze placed on her so she can not seek re-employment for 6 months, once she signs for her severance package.
The idea is to remove as much of these bureaucratic parasites out of our government as possible. So the Sooner the better.
