[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I  had a close relative that worked in private sector for 35 years, retired and then was able to go back to work at GSA for another 6 years.

He said it was the easiest job he ever had.

He would go in at 6 and be out by 3 every day.  Everyone left by 3:30.  No one did anything early in the morning that was for breakfast or gym or reading paper, real work started about 8:30 or so, everyone took time for lunch.  The whole going in early was to get there and do your time while nothing was happening.  It was the best part of the day for gov workers.

And most work was easy to do, you could do it in an hour what people budgeted for all day.  Everyone thought they were working really hard, of course relative to other people.

would have stayed much longer but he got eligibility for social security and left the area.[/quote]

Ask him what his job title/series was.  
I am always curious to know what kind of positions these are.  I did not luck up with one with such ease and autonomy.  I LIKE spending my day at work being busy and working but no one around me has it easy like this. [/quote]
