[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some straight talk:  this is a weak raise from a president who professed to love him some government employees.[/quote]

+1. We need a 6% raise just for inflation. 2.7 is ridiculous.[/quote]

I agree with both of you! Given the growing anti-government, anti-Washington and anti-public service sentiment in this country, I don't see any administration or congress giving more than 3% in a given year. People feel like federal workers are already overpaid. While maybe certain positions/occupations are, I disagree with folks that think this. but that is how this country feels. Given all this, I feel like a consistent 2-3% increase every year will be our best outcome. Of course that is not enough to keep up with inflation. but it won't set us back like in the three years we got zero followed by four years of 1%. [/quote]

We got 0-1% ish for about 7 years, and now, with "7%" inflation, without taking into account inflation in housing and energy, getting 2% is worse than almost no inflation with 1% increase.  It's worse![/quote]

I get your point and don't disagree. but I like to think 2.7% is better than another year of 0--even with high inflation. Trust me, I know how hard we work for this country and I know we deserve a 5+% raise, but that is just NEVER going to happen. it would be political suicide in these times. [/quote]
