[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is depressing. I used to work for the Fed, and I thought the staff was better than this. The answer to RTO is to form a union or strategically use leave to cover it? Thank goodness the Chair is more dedicated to the mission than those in it for an easy paycheck. Really, really disappointing. [/quote]

Wow. Newsflash - you can be a union supporter AND support “the missiom.” There is a reason every single other financial agency has a union and it’s not that Fed workers are somehow more dedicated to the “mission.” Unless your view is that the “mission” means employees shouldn’t care about the terms and conditions of their employment. [/quote]

I don’t understand why any of them have a union. As a PP said, unions are typically found where workers are abused and cannot effectively negotiate for themselves. I wouldn’t characterize $300k, a pension, a 401k, and lots of vacation and sick time for 40 hours of work in an individual office with a door as being abused. Also, the Fed has been VERY generous with WFH, including massive tolerance for parents with young children at home, during the pandemic. Your work conditions and pay are beyond compare for what you do. [/quote]

They have a union to establish the terms and conditions of employment in a way that uses their collective influence and does not rest on the arbitrary whims of a manager. Not too hard to understand! Unions also protect against retaliation and unfair discipline - very important to maintain examiner integrity.[/quote]

(Also - who is getting 300k?)[/quote]

I have a couple of very close friends at the Fed, and we are very open about discussing compensation, and while they have tons of experience, they're not making anything close to 300K even with the sweet bonus. It's funny that figure keeps getting tossed around like everyone at the Fed is making that much.[/quote]

Let me google that for you:

Now, I don't know how many people are at the top of the scale or close to it ($275) but I'd guess that more than a few attorneys and economists with long tenure are there.[/quote]

Imagine what that kind of money could buy you in Kansas. We all need Fed jobs. Sign me up for this scam![/quote]

The board salaries aren’t much higher than the Kansas City RB salaries.  [/quote]

Wrong. Salaries, bonuses, and benefits for the same work are significantly different at KC and the Board. If a Board employee takes a RB job and keeps their same salary, they typically have to assume more responsibility. For example, a senior analyst at the Board will become a manager at a RB. Or, a manager at the Board will become an AVP at a RB. And, those are not just title changes; they are large changes in responsibility. OP wants to have it both ways. On the one hand, pay and COL discrepancies are a barrier to DC hires, yet the RBs and the Board pay nearly the same? Both can't be true.[/quote]
