[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people have a hard time with this as typically Government workers get more holidays and more vacation days than the average American worker.  So don't be suprised to get a little hostility when asking for more.[/quote]

And lower pay for comparably qualified employees above the support staff level. [/quote]

When was the last time you faced mass layoffs?

Yeah, thought so.[/quote]

Maybe not mass layoffs, but I suggest you take a trip to the Vietnam, Korea, World War I, World War II, or Law Enforcement memorials to see the difficult times many federal employees and families have faced.  Many of us have been dragged around the country and the globe, uprooting families, making it difficult for spouses to build careers, and watching our kids routinely say goodbye to their friends.  Many of us also took pay cuts from our private sector jobs to pursue a calling.  I've spend many holidays in command posts and foreign countries and missed kids birthdays.  I haven't been laid-off, but I've been shot at by citizens of this country and been held at gunpoint in a foreign land by their "military".  I've attended the funerals of friends.  If you don't think the day before Christmas should be a day off, fine, you're certainly entitled to that opinion.  But please don't say it's because we somehow have it easy.  I can assure you, I've earned every dollar I've been paid.[/quote]
