[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a fed, the whole situation sucks right now, but the worst part is:  our job security is gone!  This is completely unfair.[/quote]

I don’t hate feds at all, but this right here is why people don’t. You’re whining about job security. Welcome to real life where nobody in the private sector has guaranteed job security.[/quote]

So, here’s the thing with federal jobs, my dear— feds are not compensated the way those in the private sector are. Their salaries are determined by a set schedule. You don’t get a fat raise just for having a pretty face and a daddy on the board (unless daddy is in Congress, I get it). You have to apply for the promotion. In return, they are offered job security. Same for your local public school teacher or cop. A cop can make questionable choices, even hurt someone, and it would still take a lot to fire them. Do you complain about their protections and job security? How about crappy teachers who are still at your kid’s school 10 years later? Everyone knows Mrs. Larla sucks and should be fired, but alas, she’s still there even with one foot in the grave and refuses to retire. Have a problem with that?

You’re surrounded by people who don’t earn six figures but still have secure jobs.  [/quote]

You’re using crappy teachers and killer cops as examples of why government workers deserve the job security they have? How dumb are you?[/quote]
