99.8% of Federal Employees Get Good Performance Reviews. Why?
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Today we’re joined by Scott Kupor, Director of the Office of Personnel Management. I think of it as the federal HR department — he makes a compelling case that it’s really the government’s talent management organization.
Scott manages talent for an organization of 2+ million people with a $7 trillion budget.
We discuss:
* How DOGE cut federal headcount — and what comes next?
* Why agencies rehired employees they had just laid off
* How few federal employees get fired for poor performance
* What OPM can do without congressional help
