Federal tax cheats... no, I am not talking about Tim Geithner this time

Sounds like you don;t know what you are talking about either.


The higher your GS grade the more likely you can NOT be union. I work on the EX (MGT) teams and can not be Union. I also am not career status yet so I have less appeal rights. A lot of older union positions have been outsourced.

This

You can not just transfer just 1 person unless there is only 1 person that does that job and you have to give reason for transfer and budget etc...
You can't elimintate it either as you have to eliminate all the people with the same job and not rehire them. Doing what you said would not stand up on appeal to the board.

sounds like a union. I did not say anything about the fed having unions.

So you link to some right wing groups that did not seem to be worried about this when Bush and Republicans were in charge?


And if you read their data you would know that they did not compare apples to apples. They took ALL people and averaged them out. You think the person flipping burgers at McDonalds in DC makes the same as someone in Middle texas?
Most Gov jobs are in larger cities, i.e. higher cost of living and higher pay. As such pay is higher. You can't average a Gov worker in DC or SF and then compare them to someone in Detroit with the same title.
Let alone many get their pay due to working the same job for a long time. One of the problems we have are people leaving and not being able to backfill with someone with the saem exp as them. Of course if you want to move up its a good time for Fed employees.

I do HR work for the fed gov so I make job offers to many in the private sector and we get turned down a LOT! We also lose a lot of Fed people to contractor companies that can pay a lot more.

But I know you are just a P&N troll so no fact will turn you away from the idiot talking points you believe blindly.

Perhaps you didn't read the actual first article? Try this selection:

And it’s not like Joe Bureaucrat can’t afford to pay his share of the taxes that support the governing caste. Federal workers receive salaries about 20 percent higher than those of private-sector workers in comparable jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers analyzed by USA Today. But it’s the benefits that really tell the story: The average private-sector worker receives health-care and retirement benefits worth $9,882 per year. The number for government workers? Try $40,785.

So USA Today is a right wing group? I think that leaves you and Obama, fussing about the 99% of the country that are crazy right wingers. Knowing that you work in HR for the government does explain a lot, though. Why relate to reality when you are insulated from it?
