Someone correct me if I am wrong here, but isn’t their benefits, pay and retirement packages better than the commercial sector?
Feel bad that they have to take a cut. However, I still do not understand why they are taking a cut when al that is being cut is future growth.
Pay and bennies can be better or worse than in the private sector. It all depends on the job and location. You have to pay for health, insurance, retirement, etc, just like any other job. They use the same companies as any one else, Blue Cross, Humana, Delta etc. My brother has better health insurance plans on his job.
The only benefit I see is job security. If you have a technical position you can always make more on the outside.
