[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is depressing as a taxpayer. Is any valuable work being done at all. This doesn't help the overall look of feds. I know there are areas that desperately need bodies and I know that there are feds busting their butts. This uneven distribution is what bit us in the first place, everyone thinking that they are all lazy because of a slim demographic. [/quote]

And why do feds have so much better health insurance than the rest of us? [/quote]

I’m not so sure they do. So many federal workers only know the benefits of other federal workers. A lot of government workers have convinced themselves that they receive fantastic benefits.

I’m married to a private sector employee who has worked for 5-6 employers during my time as a government worker. Every employer has offered perfectly fine insurance. Sometimes it’s a little more than my insurance, but it’s hardly anything so significant that I’d stay a government worker for it.

it’s the insurance available to retire is at age 55, so it covers the gap from 55 to 67 until you get Medicare. Buying that on the open market without having it supplied by a job is extremely expensive.

If you can swing a higher paying job, like a lot high paying at least $100,000 more, Then you’ll be able to self ensure essentially and buy on the ACA exchange, but who knows if you won’t be laid off by age him in this age range.

This is not about current employee health insurance. That’s a different thing. [/quote]
