Lol, I am pregnant and have had several people tell me how lucky I am to get paid maternity leave (this is news to me)!  And this was before Obama's EO letting us take advanced sick leave.  There seems to be a lot of misinformation and assumptions out there about how amazing our benefits are.[/quote]

How do we fight misinformation? I've been told numerous times that my pension will be greater than my salary when I retire at 50. Umm no.[/quote]

I really don't know.  I think people all over the country just assume Washington is crooked and all us Feds are sucking the teat of the taxpayer dollar.  A long time ago a rumor (true or not) got started about all the perks of being a federal employee and certain news channels love to run with those "facts."

Part of the problem is probably the unions who go too far to protect bad employees.  One story gets out about some slacker being placed on paid leave and that sticks in people's minds. [b] I would gladly give up some of my protections if it made it easier to get rid of the bad apples and in return we could be eligible for more merit based promotions, better family leave, etc[/b].[/quote]

I'm on board! Great idea.[/quote]
