People who can’t find a job better than a federal government job want it.  
You should ask: why current federal government employees do not leave their federal government jobs in the current environment? The answer is: if they could get a better non-federal government job, they will do. But they can’t.[/quote]

Piss off. I took a 50% paycut to take my federal job because I believe in what I am doing. I could easily get a better paying job with better hours and less stress (especially with what the current administration is subjecting us to), but I could never have the same impact in the private sector. Even many lower paid civil servants doing menial jobs could get "better" jobs, but value their contribution to this country.[/quote]

50% pay cut???  I have a hard time believing that[/quote]

DP. 15 years ago I went from making 185k as a third year biglaw associate to 92k as a GS-13 staff attorney. Took 12 years and a competitive promotion to get up to a high enough GS-15 step to equal that third year salary. [/quote]

DP.  I took this kind of pay cut too. I tried to negotiate to only 50% pay cut. $250k in private, plus bonus, to $120k starting in federal sector. [/quote]
