The gap increases every year and will eventually pull me out of federal service.
You’re not going to get highly skilled people without paying them and it doesn’t look like that will happen anytime soon.
this seems crazy! if you are not a crappy lawyer, why would you want to take a job that pays so badly. i am sure a private job would put you far ahead of where you are with a government job.
The tradeoff was the federal jobs were stable, had a better work life balance, and allow us to work for the American people. In this environment that’s no longer the case and so everyone with opportunities will jump ship as soon as they can, including me.

Are you for real? You sound like a mid twenties male who still believes he'll be a multi-millionaire someday.Anonymous wrote:Federal jobs still provide stable jobs for millions of Americans who cannot succeed in the real world due to mental or physical infirmities or both. The only difference now is that President Donald J. Trump is holding federal employees accountable. I know that accountability strikes fear in the hearts and minds of federal employees, many of them who have never been told “no” in life, but do not fear change for our President will guide the civil service out of the wilderness.

Once again, 1 in 6 federal government employees were healthcare workers (nurses and doctors).
