We don’t get a Christmas ham, logo’ed mug, or even a pen with our agency name on it. You guys that buy into the lie of how great the fed employees have it are no different then the occutards crying about the 1 percenters.

We are told the average compensation in Washington is now greater than the average American. The Public employee doesn't have private sector billionaires and millionaires to skew the average up. This makes the disparity even greater. So this is not true? Why the Boston Mayor's secretary makes $117,000 in salary alone. Throw in the benefits and she makes more that twice a private sector secretary, Nepotism is rampant in the Massachusetts public sector. Mom4melody, you got a long way to go to calling us liars.

I didn’t call anyone a liar, but badly misinformed, and sounding a bit envious.

There’s not much to envy. Just this year, I matched the private sector salary I left in 2002, for the same job. The executive secretaries at that private sector company made a great salary, as much as the middle level managers, and they earned it.

Government doesn’t have cashiers, waiters, or factory workers to lower the workforce salary average. Almost everyone is well educated doing a complex job.

The smack talk about other Americans working on your behalf is getting old. While there may be jobs and even agencies that are not necessary, attacking the employee, based on class envy, is so very leftist of you.
