[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly those of you complaining about a potential increase in your contribution sound very petty to me - I’d bet plenty of your riffed or soon to be riffed colleagues would have been happy to increase their contribution.[/quote]
Them increasing their contribution wouldn’t have prevented RIFs. What a dumb thing to say.[/quote]

That is not what she meant--she meant they would all rather have a job and live through the increase than their situation of not having a job at all.[/quote]

Race to the bottom and she’ll be so pleased to get there first.  Maybe she’s hoping Elon will give her a head pat.[/quote]

The poster was expressing reality. You think being mad and having clever comebacks and shutting down any discussion of literally reality of the possibility of the increase taking place will ensure the change will not take place.[b] This is not how planet Earth works[/b].[/quote]

It works how we choose to make it work.  You apparently choose “Thank you, sir! May I have another?”[/quote]

Helloooo??? It does not work how we choose to make it work. Especially when your paycheck comes from somewhere or someone else. But feel free to take that argument up with Congress or Trump right now while federal agency budgets are literally getting slashed by the billions. [/quote]

Of course it does.  That’s why there are entirely different countries with entirely different systems all across the planet.  How can you possibly have trouble understanding that?[/quote]

I suggest you consider moving to one of those countries bc nothing is changing here for the next few years.

I have a lot of sympathy for the 24,000 illegally fired probationary employees and the Maryland man illegally deported to the El Salvador prison, just to name a few of the travesties resulting from this administration so far. But it’s difficult to have much sympathy if you’ll be required to contribute to your retirement in the same manner that many of your colleagues have for years.[/quote]

They were hired under that rate, so it is pay cut.This is only part of the plan to cut federal employees benefits. Congress is also proposing a retroactive change to the retirement benefit formula for people that are already eligible for retirement.
