[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone in hiring, trust me you should want fed pay raised. Right now the people running your government can’t afford to live anywhere near their offices, and new hires don’t put up with low pay just for the honor of serving their nation. They google cost of housing and childcare in dmv and nope right on out of the process.  Starting pay grade at my org is the same it was when I started 23 years ago.  Usg is in for a rough few decades in hiring given inflation coupled with low pay[/quote]

Agree. I barely make enough for Fed work to be worth it, but [b]I really enjoy my job and the telework flexibility[/b]. Truthfully [b]I could only take this job because I’m married to someone that makes more money[/b].
I’m so glad [b]rich people got their tax cuts under Trump[/b] so now we all have to have a pay freeze.[/quote]

Please realize how entitled you send as you jab at rich people who have taken tax cuts. Yes, you can only do this fully remote job that you love because your hubs makes big bucks and you're getting paid so little because all these rich people (which it sounds like from what you wrote about may be you) are getting tax cuts. Leave your kiddos at preschool all day and stick them in after care, gas up your car and drive two hours, and go to a soul sucking job that you hate for 20% more and then tell me that you think federal gov. employees should get more money. Oh, and say goodbye to your pension and other perks! NBD right?[/quote]

I think you mean benefits. “Perks” are things people in the private sector get, like travel expense accounts, memberships, or just coffee at the office. The government is devoid of perks. [/quote]
