[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the muskrats, I have worked as a contractor for multiple government agencies. Every agency is filled with waste. Every agency. And every federal worker will say they are working so hard, every federal worker. [b]Meanwhile they never work on weekends, or work late during the week. They will be there from 7 to 3:15 and do the absolute minimum of work. You could fire 50% of the workers and the agency will work BETTER!. [/b] Be respectful and be kind, but most of america wants significant reductions in the waste in government. for every action, think, is it fair for a single parent with a child, struggling to make ends meet, have their taxes go to this federal mission. stop the waste, help the middle class , that is being kind and respectful. [/quote] I've been married to a federal worker for 25 years and I wish that were true. He works almost every weekend at home, he's had to go into the office more weekend than I can count, he's worked on vacations, he loses some of his PTO every year because he can't take it all, he didn't get to take any paternity leave with our second kid... And he could be making 3-4x his government salary in the private sector, because he is capped like all federal workers--he didn't even get a raise for many years because the federal schedule didn't budge. So I do mean this most sincerely, f*ck you and everyone else who thinks like you and/or voted for Trump. [/quote] +100 . All of my family members who are federal workers work more than the required hours and aren't eligible for overtime pay because of their pay grade. They are professional, responsible and passionate about the work they do. This constant accusing ALL government workers of being lazy is getting old and trite. Surely there must be a more humane way to keep the talented people who are invested in their jobs and not insult them by calling them "low productivity."[/quote] I have been out of gov for awhile, but while working for a startup in early 2000's we hired a lawyer from SEC. she came with amazing recommendations. hard working , smart etc etc. she joined and dived in, after a few weeks she realized that the software development was working hard hours. she was asked to come into an all hands on Saturday morning and was aghast. how could the company ask someone to work the weekends. she went back to the SEC within a month. guess they liked her work ethic of 7 hours a day and no weekends. gov lawyers are a special breed, smart but lazy, and glad to stay in the gov with the process and controls to protect their work life. [/quote] jokes on you because that start-up is long gone and she retired with a TSP millionaire. Lol. [/quote] Lol! Startup founders are probably living on yachts and this dumb serf is still working weekends to compensate for his toddler-level writing skills! lol![/quote]
