[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fed here.  It sucks so much these days that I'm not sure why you'd want to be a fed.  I'm doing 2 jobs these days because they can't replace people and I'm not the only one in my section doing so.  I'm likely leaving in the coming months.  Maybe it will get better with the new budget if it passes, but I'm not waiting around to find out.[/quote]

Another Fed here.  Really wouldn't recommend it.  Morale is low and "do more with less" has gotten very old.  I know the popular assumption is that everyone sits around doing nothing and still gets paid a "lavish" salary with all kinds of perks.  I'll leave others to quibble over the perennial "feds get paid better then the private sector" - which given the bonus thread is a bit rich.  But, putting all of that aside, many people actually do go into public service to accomplish something for the U.S. public.  Not only does the ongoing budget mess make it difficult to do much more than lurch from cr to cr, but starving the beast really means that one has little ability to accomplish much of anything.  When you add the constant vitriol from Congress and the general public, there's not a lot of job satisfaction.  Good luck though.[/quote]
