I used to be a government employee and worked my butt off. HOWEVER, that wasn't the usual work mode of my "colleagues." I also got out.

As a friend of mine, also then a government employee, these are "people who can do no other work."

“The morale of federal managers and employees has been damaged significantly by the two-year pay freeze and perceived fed bashing by the public and members of Congress,...”

Perhaps they need to resign and find work that pays better. LOL

Good, we need to dismantle about 90% of the Federal Government!

My business went from salary and bonus to commission. I’ve been living for 10 years never knowing what my next months income would be and if it would cover bills.
My pity meter failed to register for this story.

Welcome to the party!

It used to be that when people took government jobs, they expected to take it in the shorts on salary in exchange for dependable employment with excellent benefits and retirement. Not anymore, everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too.

What, you mean I can’t work for Satan himself and feel good about myself at the same time?

And doesn’t the “overrepresentation” of minorities working for the government constitute a “disparate impact” and isn’t it a sign of discriminatory hiring?

I never heard of it - who the hell is paying for this outlet?

What "freeze"?

As I understand it, they - like most devoted public servants - get step increases every year on top of any so called "raises".

Cry me a river, hacks.

Wah! That's a year shorter than my pay freeze, so I feel free to bash them.

Lets break out the crying towel for the success of this administration in dividing Americans against each other, denigrating what they do and their motives for doing it, and stirring hostility against yet another group of FELLOW AMERICANS (federal employees) as if they were all unworthy slugs taking from everyone else and contributing nothing

As the wife of a federal employee whose work is devoted to critical national security issues, I am disgusted at the hateful comments. And yes, given what is going on in DC his morale is pretty low but he still suits up and goes in everyday or gets on that airplane every week (many weekends) and does his best for this country and our family - in that order

1). If I knew my job was meaningless and a waste of tax payer money, I would have low moral, too.

2). I honestly don’t care about their moral. They are sucking the life blood out of our nation. They are paid higher than the average none government worker who actually generates the money to pay their extravagant salaries and benefits.

just the fact that there is an actual radio station in DC devoted entirely to Federal employees whining about their concerns tells you all you need to know.
