I’m 63-retired. I’ll work there part time for the minimum wage to supplement my SSI. It shouldn’t be a career.
Freeze federal pay until they balance the budget.
This article-too much information. Cut the force with a blunt knife. One more year on the payroll. 2 years pay if they quit on Jan 21.
I too am 63 and a military retiree. I've been a contractor to a federal government agency for 26 years. The biggest bang for the buck from the governments perspective is have contractors bid every 5 years for the work. It keeps the costs down. Kept my paycheck not so great for 26 years but that's the nature of the beast.
GS-13's I work with work hard too but they get better paid, more benefits and security. Every 5 years I have to fight for my job. Every 5 years I start at the most bottom of every new company for leave accrual, etc.
