They probably do know. They sound like one of the many rejected. |
| Government hiring is difficult only because all the jobs go to disabled veterans. |
| Any update? I saw a deal was reached on the house but it does seem to have the 5.2% for all workers (only active military) |
That's how these deals work. They compromise and give the military a raise. Civilian feds should expect 1 or 2% |
Well this makes sense. Recruitment is very difficult right now and as far as I can tell our active military don’t have the option to work remotely when it suits. |
|
It is 5.2 for civilian feds as well. This has already been reported. |
That's wild. Folks at the SEC are going to make bank! |
i How much for people who are at the cap? |
The MAGA tantrums are going to be epic. |
I welcome it. My take home pay went down by $20/pp this year despite the 4.6% raise! (Higher benefit costs plus higher TSP contributions due to the cap being raised.) |
Your purchasing power went down by way more than $20/pp, because every single recurring bill and every single grocery run went up. I had to reschedule a camping reservation from '22 to '23, and it had gone up by one month's pay 'raise'. |
|
Yup. Going to be like an 8 or 9 pct raise this year for them. And that's on the back of like a 7 pct raise last year. |

"House Republicans would give lawmakers their first pay increase in nearly 15 years under a spending bill for the upcoming fiscal year that the Appropriations Committee approved last month.
The move comes as House Republicans pursue cuts to most federal agencies and programs, sparing only defense, veterans and border security. Lawmakers last received a cost-of-living increase in 2009, but House Republicans left out the traditional language blocking a cost-of-living increase for members from this year’s Legislative Branch bill." https://rollcall.com/2023/07/13/house-gop-anti-spending-fervor-may-not-apply-to-member-pay-raise/ |
