[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a bad pay raise and it almost keeps up with inflation. I'm just thankful to have a job.[/quote]
A pay raise that “almost keeps up” is a tiny pay cut, no? I would have made very different decisions had I understood that my Federal career would be twenty years, so far, years of annual pay raises that “almost” or “don’t by a long shot” keep up with inflation.

Have other careers kept up this poorly or is it just us?[/quote]

It’s just us. [/quote]

My private sector DH got 4% this year. So I don’t think many employers are fully keeping up with inflation. However, 2% with everything going on is pitiful.

Highest health insurance premium increase in recent history (average of 13.5%), on top of 8% inflation, and an incoming administration that talks nonstop about how much they hate us and want us to lose our jobs. Oh and possible increased commuting expenses.

I think Trump/DOGE are going to meet their goal of getting a lot of Feds to leave. Sorry to the American public that they best performers are going to leave and not be replaced.[/quote]
