Better benefits and better pay. Many of my private sector friends and I talk about going to government jobs for less stress, less hours, better medical, and pensions. They are obviously not aware of the real world.
Ha Ha-
My wife has worked for the govt. for over 30 years!
She has seen my pay cut 30-40% - I do not get ANY
benefits- guess what?—
No one at her “govt. job” will talk to her any more -
She is entitled to a Pension-almost 60 % of salary
She will get health benefits
the Govt matched her 401 K-
At 63 she could start her Social Security
She currently earns 5+ weeks of vacation and 11 holidays
She has accumulated more than 750 Hours of “sick time”
She gets “longevity Pay!”!! which is a lump sum payout
at Christmas of $1300 dollars- everyyear now for the Kicker-
She makes more than 30% than me. and Could retire-NOW
I love my Wife-
When she tries to tell others how GOOD we are doing-the
other “workers “ just don’t believe her-
NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD MY BOSS EVER-EVER HIRE!
They live in a fantasy - O’BUMMER CARE LAND where they
believe the Private sector workers all make Millions.
