[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let not and say we did. Find a way to pay for DC’s needs without taxing federal employees who are already underpaid for their work and can’t afford to live within an hour of the city as it is.[/quote] If you’re underpaid why are there 100s of applicants per job opening? Serious question.  Seems like your benefits and job security still make it appealing.  [/quote]

As a PP said, “applicants” doesn’t mean the positions are easily filled. I’ve conducted a number of hires for GS15-level SME positions in the past few years and yes, we get a hundred applicants and three quarters of them are immediately rejected for lack of qualifications. And then we went through hiring and started making offers and said “in person two days per pay period” and two candidates in a row said “you’re no longer allowing remote? Then I’m no longer interested.”  So I’m not convinced that the jobs are all that appealing to high-level knowledge workers. [/quote]

Yep. I’m doing several people’s work right now, not for the first time in my career, because we’ve had people leave and retire and no one wants the gig for what the management is offering.  Force me to commute more than I did in 2019 and I’ll just walk.  I’m not the only one.  My resume is ready.[/quote]
