Troll harder |
Where did you work? I’m a former fed with commerce and that was not my experience. I’d say 95% were really good and 5% were duds. |
They work in Trollandia. |
My agency is in the wrong place and has no info. Good job Elon. |
As a consultant for private sector companies, the feds I worked with were very good. Some were impressive, some were just competent but all of them (except that one guy and I will doxx him) were responsive and responsible.
I did that for over a decade while living in a lower cost of living area. Those career feds absolutely earned their salaries. |
I’m the contractor PP above and I can’t help myself. The idea that private sector companies are more efficient is so amusing. I’ve seen many and they may look glossy on the outside but they are a sh$tshow on the inside.
Some of them operate exactly like the federal government. Some of them make crazy decisions based on what can only be described as emotion (publicly traded companies). Some have a hard time modernizing but the successful ones are fairly sound (privately held). Pros and cons to each. |
Those things are not mutually exclusive. |
+1. I am talking people who should be retired. People who don’t do their share of the work. Just lingering and collecting. This is who needs to go. 👍 |
Ok so because manual labor pays less than white collar work it is “fraud.” And is it only “fraud” when government employees earn that much? Or is it also fraud when people make that much (and much more!) in the private sector. Like somehow an attorney at a firm can make a good salary but God forbid a DOJ attorney make low six figures. It’s all so dumb. |
You don’t like hearing about my experience and your only retort it to call me a troll. |
Am I missing something on this website? I am not seeing individual information. Just big-picture information like the salaries by division/section of an agency. |
I can only assume that you are all for taxing corporations appropriately too? Surely that would be a better way to eliminate waste (read: gov't handouts to billionaires) than destroying people's livelihoods? |
Truth hurts? |
Given lifespans these days and cost of living, white collar workers really shouldn't be retiring in their 60s if they are healthy and productive. It's hard to save money to live for 20 years by working 40. Easier to work for 50 and save for 10. My grandma lived to be 101. She had a widow's corporate pension and medical for 36 years. I will only have 401K and nothing beyond Medicare if it even exists. My regular retirement age is 67. If the US isn't going to be as immigrant friendly, we need people to work longer to keep productivity up and paying into the social insurance system. I'm sorry your older co-workers aren't productive. That makes it harder to get people to consider my point. My company just laid off a bunch of people with 37-39 years service. It's not clear to me that their productivity had changed. They were just a middle management layer. Now those people are in their early 60s and could probably work another 10 years but probably won't get the chance. We need to figure out ways to let older workers continue to participate meaningfully in the economy. |
