[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yup, theoretically we do, but lucky for me, given the overwhelming volume of work that I have and understaffing problems, I get to work them without getting paid. And my agency has no credit hours or comp time (other than travel), so I won't be getting the time back on another day.[/quote]

You have described my situation exactly.[/quote]

The Fed Govt and the private sector both have overachievers and underachievers. I have a friend who works for the VA and works insane hours. I have a friend who works for GSA and works extremely hard and feels Fed employees are a convenient target in this political climate. However... when I read the WOH/WAH debate threads, there are SO MANY posters who say they have a fed job and they don't work overtime ever and the job isn't difficult and this is not one or two posters, this is a pervasive theme on those threads.

I work in the private sector. We have an admin who, I swear to god, plays monopoly all day long. Sometimes I see Words with Friends on his computer, just for a little variety. There are a lot of employees out there who are undermotivated and not putting themselves out. The difference unfortunately is that taxes pay the salaries of the public servants. Those taxes feel like a burden to those of us in private sector. The idea that those taxes are paying for "waste" is a very sour feeling. It may be realistic that the Fed has a lower percentage of slackers than the private sector, but as a taxpayer, I'm going to feel unhappy to be paying any slackers salary. [/quote]
