[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump gave Feds great raises, along with parental leave. Democrats are horrible at this.[/quote]
Talk about uninformed. Why don’t you look it up? Trump gave horrible pay raise.[/quote]

The link to this was already posted above. Obama gave us nearly nothing so Trump’s raises looked great in comparison.[/quote]
Again, uninformed. Almost all years were better under Obama - it’s just they he increased locale more than anything else, which had the net effect of a raise.[/quote]

Umm, no. The Obama years actually average out to the lowest fed pay raises in at least 50 years (maybe ever?). The average fed raise during the Trump years (1.98%) while still pathetic was more than twice the average raise during the Obama years ( .96%)

2010 2%
2011 0%
2012 0%
2013 0%
2014 1%
2015 1%
2016 1.6%
2017 2.1%

This is a great example of the distraction that stops us from focusing on the real issues.  Feds have miserable pay under both kinds of administrations. Arguing over these pitiful sums is not where our energy should be directed.  When federal service resulted in a great pension, the low salary during your working years was balanced out by the generous retirement package.  That’s no longer the case.  The problem is that neither republicans nor democrats value public service. It’s largely become a holding ground for veterans.  Not sure that I see that changing soon, but we need to be honest with ourselves that we are underpaid, regardless of who is in power. [/quote]

I don’t know…I was perfectly happy with my ~4%/year COLA raises under Bush, factoring in yearly grade/step increases, pension, work life balance  and other perks the compensation back then seemed pretty decent[/quote]

Yes, 4% per year would be amazing, but that hasn't happened in the last decade. Anyway, some of this thread was deleted. Why?[/quote]
