Considering the amounts of abuse being heaped upon them at just about every turn, I’m not surprised.
Who but a masochist would enjoin in any conversation with supposed brother and sister FReepers only to be castigated and scorned simply because they work for the gov’t.?
Deplorable and inexcusable behavior and some of the comments are unjustly excoriating of these folks.
I take it you’re a guvmint employee.
I also take it you missed the main point of the article that started this thread, and the main point of the responses......
And FTR, FR is a political message board and consolidator news site. I was not aware that it was some sort of “brotherhood” or “sisterhood.” I missed the meetings and the secret handshake I guess......
Your anger is misplaced. If you thought that you are immune from the Clown, welcome to the real world. The private sector that pays you has been cutting back to the bone. The gov’t spending goes up. CUT the gov’t like everyone else has cut. The taxpayers are not SLAVES.
I've been scorned moreso by liberal alumni that I joust with. They were aghast and apoplectic when I mentioned that I worked in the federal government.
My simple response scuttled their diatribes:
1. As a conservative, I understand there are legitimate functions of government.
2. Isn't it better to hire an experienced professional to oversee troubled banks and contractors, rather than an unqualified individual fresh out of college? I've had two contractors resign "from convenience", because my team held them to the terms of the contract.
Besides, I've been called every name in the book by now, so I just do my job.
