Obama appointees are “burrowing in” for career government positions

As we prepare to enter into the presidential transition period there is one pressing question on the mind of some government employees: will I stay or will I go? (With all due apologies to The Clash.) For most federal workers the change in management won’t have much effect. They are hired through normal channels and have powerful unions to ensure they stay there for as long as they like. But a second class of government employees consists of those who are appointed by the current administration. They generally don’t enjoy the same level of protection and are often replaced when the new broom sweeps clean.

That doesn’t apply to everyone, though. As the Daily Caller highlighted last week, more than a dozen of these appointees from the Obama administration have quietly made the switch, jumping to the head of the line past those who apply for jobs through the normal application and review process and are preparing to settle in.

Sounds like they're getting ready for a scorched earth campaign.

This is standard operating procedure at the end of every Presidential term.  The appointees need a job (as does everyone), so each person is trying to convert to a more long-term position, so they can pay their bills.

There's nothing more nefarious here than standard human nature.

That would be true if progressives were human.
