Unhappy federal employees, who can believe it? They should be grateful they have jobs.

Federal workers are unhappy because many of them are not suitably challenged by their work environment.

Fire them. I like to fire government employees.

So the seven wealthy counties around DC are unhappy about money? I don’t get it.

They are unhappy because this is what you get when you abandon meritocracy. High pay / Benefits can never compensate.

We’re not sure what a federal mind is, or what industry they’re referring to, but in our opinion, if there minds were so great they wouldn’t be working for the government in the first place.

Well, "there" minds probably know enough to use spell check before publishing an op-ed.

Trust me, federal employees have not been happy since 2008.

Fire them and consolidate their jobs....just like businesses do.

You know what would challenge them? Wolves. If they are good enough to roam around Yellowstone culling the weak from the herds, then they should be fine running down the hallways of the Department of the Interior in DC.

They attribute the decline in worker happiness to a two year pay freeze

Well, welcome to, almost, the real world where ANY pay increase in the past 6 years hasn't kept up with the cost of living increases, where there are a LOT of people out of work, and where those who DO still have a job have taken large pay cuts.

Who gives a crap about the well being of federal employees?

Gonna “resurrect” this topic a little. My BIL (a liberal-libertarian) he claims the Federal employees haven’t had a raise now two years, and they deserve it.

He’s royally pisisng me off. *I* haven’t had a raise in four years! And their salaries still are coming out of my taxes. Okay, walking away before this really torques me off....
