The comments are really funny.
There is one guy saying he “chooses to be a public servant” at $120K a year and “has refused more lucrative positions” (or words to that effect.
What a freaking liar — the guy CAN’T get private sector job at that level.
If you include the standard State generous benefits, that $120K is probably close to $160K — we used a 1.37 multiplier to calculate benefits for filling State Positions. When I entered the private sector, the new employer payed me more, but when I started to have to pay what “real people” pay for health and the like, it was a lateral move.
The rest of the “boo hoo poor pitiful me” posts are pretty funny as well.
