[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the economy was booming and private sector folks were getting significant pay increases and raises, did you see Feds receiving those same increases?  The answer is "No."  So, why the double standard now?  As a career Fed who is busting my ass, I resent the resentment![/quote]

Yes: This! [/quote]

Hey OP, if Congress increases locality pay to accurately reflect the COL in the DC area (no lumping in Baltimore and freaking West Virginia to being the rate down) and the comparable private sector salary for my JD from a top 25 law school (plus all the other graduate and professional degrees that Feds hold) THEN we’ll take a pay cut from whatever amount that salary is. If you want me to take a pay cut like the private sector has, then pay me like a private sector employee.

Or how about Feds accept lower salaries for the benefit of job/pay security. Why would anyone with any competence want to work for the federal government is it involves lower pay during good times and now we ALSO get a pay cut during the bad times. Sorry you didn’t do a better job of saving your private sector paycheck when the market was good and now you want to take that out on federal employees.[/quote]
