The rank-and-file government workers have a 401K program. The people at the top are under a totally different pay and retirement structure and get a much more lucrative retirement.
Even though I was around all that ( I am not, nor have ever been, a government employee) for almost 20 years I have never looked in to exactly what the big wigs get, but they do quite well when they retire.
Getting fired, even two days before his full eligibility, means he will have to try to sue to get paid as he was fired for cause.
Seems clear he broke numerous laws. An uphill battle to be sure. Particularly since he's accused of doing exactly what he persecuted Flynn of doing.
Flynn is now utterly ruined financially. McCabe, even without pension, still comes out way better financially. The prick should be in prison.
And maybe he will be. Frankly I'm surprised he was fired at all. Maybe the worm is turning?
Try two-to-three times the annual salary in benefits....always in six figures.....if not more.
