[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now you’ll know how the newer federal employees feel. It kills me that I have to pay 4.4 percent every paycheck when others are contributing close to nothing and getting much more in return. I really wish we could opt out or not even have FERs. I’m in my early 30s and suspect that this will account to almost nothing upon retirement but meanwhile I’m subsidized the hell out of my older colleagues for decades[/quote

You think you have it rough? I've been paying into Social Security for 45 years now, and watching retirees blow their monthly checks on RVs, bingo games, cruises and all-you-can-eat buffets. If I could have all of my SS tax payments back, with interest, I'd be a multi-millionaire.

My first federal job was as a GS-4 and I was paid $11,000/yr plus some supplement because I could type. There was no locality pay back then. $11,000 in 2025 dollars is $31,000 or about $15/hour. [/quote]

I didn’t have, flexible spending, paid paternal leave, student loan forgiveness, please stop whining.[/quote]
