I'm sorry , as OP and a Fed who knows how much contractors make I don't give a rats ass about your layooff. I'm sure you all have had plenty of opportunities to come on board at our shitty pay scale but stayed your course. The outrageous billing of many of these companies is partly to blame for the money shortfall.[/quote]

Wow, a Fed whose also a jacka$$.  You're the reason so many non-feds hate civil servants.  I make roughly 10-15% over what my civil servant counterparts make.  Which nowhere NEAR makes up for all of the perks you civil servants get.  I get combined 4 weeks of PTO, that's combined annual leave and sick leave.  Most civil servants with my level of experience get six weeks of annual leave, plus one week of sick leave.  In other words, you get three weeks paid leave more than I do PER YEAR.  Your benefits package is much better.  Your TSP is significantly better than my 401K.  Your employer, the US government puts in a lot more money into your TSP than my employer does.  Over the course of 10 years, not even your full career in the civil service, you will more than make up the difference in our pay inequity.  You also have better long-term care, short-term disability, long-term disability benefits.  You get much more excused absences than we do.  When the government gives 2 hour or 4 hour early dismissal?  Never includes contractors.  You get the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve excusal from the President?  Never includes contractors.  You get the majority of snow days.  Most of us have to report to our contractor headquarters and still work.  Your benefits are worth at least twice what our difference in pay is.

I have a lot of sympathy for most civil servants, but not you.  You'll probably get furloughed, because karma is a bitch.  Just like you.[/quote]
