[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that many people are happy to see other people get fired. It reminds of public floggings. Some people are very envious that Federal jobs are secure, stable and can offer an opportunity to live a simple way of life.

I notice so many people want to see the Federal government run like a business. Yet, I know so many people in the private sector who are sick, overweight, stressed and living very challenging lives unless they earn over $200k. Even those people are working themselves to the bone.

Federal salaries are not even that high considering the cost of living in the DMV. It saddens me that so many people are living hand to mouth and that as a collective, we would rather bring everyone down instead of increasing salaries across private sector for the average American. How much more can a billionaire earn, buy and sell? At one point does the collective well being of the nation become a priority over seeing another group suffer financially?[/quote]

This is typical federal employee BS. The private sector is better. Better pay, and often better benefits. No, the federal workforce is not healthier.

I feel bad for federal employees who have been brainwashed to fear the private sector.

The private sector employees hundreds of millions of people. It’s not all a sweat shop and it doesn’t exist to try to lay people off.

Yes, private sector pay and benefits are often better for many professions. However, the statement about private sector employees being healthier is unequivocally false. 
Government employees are healthier and they live about a year longer than comparable private sector employees. https://www.soa.org/4aa1e0/globalassets/assets/files/resources/research-report/2021/life-expectancy.pdf

Gov health insurance is amazing. I went from a high tech firm to a Fed position in tech and the insurance is AMAZING. [/quote]
