[quote=Anonymous][quote]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?[/quote]

There is no "long term care" or "disability benefit" provided federal employees. Use up you sick days, you're done, that's it.  The day after Thanksgiving is NOT a federal holiday.  If you take it, it comes out of annual leave.  And yes, the president often dismisses federal workers a few hours early on Christmas Eve.  If you'd planned ahead to take that day off, it comes out of your annual leave.  Only workers at their duty stations enjoy the president's gesture.  So please stop bitching about two hours per year that someone else "gets."  BTW, as a federal employee, I spent Thanksgiving Day up to my hips in muck after Hurricane Sandy last fall.  I was glad to do it - hope you enjoyed the football game, whiner.[/quote]
