First of all corporate America offshored your job, corporate America hired the H-1B, corporate America want illegal immigrant amnesty and lack of enforcement on our borders, corporate America is the ones that fire workers when they hit late 40’s and early 50’s, it is CORPORATE AMERICA that fires people after they made record profits but want MORE, and it is CORPORATE AMERICA who got bailouts when they FAIL while the rest are TOO SMALL to SAVE. ALL this happen when Clinton was President, when GWB was President and it hit the fan and made worst under Obama. Big gov and big business are the enemies of America. Thirty years ago you would have been making fun of gov worker salaries. Who would start at such a low salary except stupid people. Who would join the gov and work a boring repetitive job for a stupid pension when the sky was the limit in private industry. Well each pathway has its rewards and risks. Wall Street crashes the economy and now many who thought private industry was all green grass were in for a shock. Fired at 50 years old because I was too old and do not fit the young image of my company and never to be rehired unless I am willing to work 1/3 less??!!! Grad from college and cannot get a job because IT companies want a specific few but hire tons of foreign H-1B. Loss my job because 10 years ago my company sent technicians overseas to teach Chinese and Indian workers to do my job??!!! Now old and not hired after 99+ weeks of unemployment and bitter at people who 30 years ago decided to work for the gov and now only ones that have good salaries and work. Gov worker made the same as thirty years ago based on inflation, it is the private salaries that went south. The gov did not set those salaries, corporate America did. Got a problem with your salary go talk to the CEO who lowered it, not the fed worker who made a good decision thirty years ago. If the avg fed worker salary is considered a fortune, then private salaries have gone south and big business really f**ked the private workers.
I see complete imbeciles at GS-11 to GS-13 stealing a paycheck every day
Its fair to say that the corporate greed monsters never miss an opportunity to screw their workers
That’s normal and can be regulated to some degree when it gets egregious as long as Congress isn’t bought and paid for
Unfortunately Congress IS bought and paid for and what’s different now is not only is Joe six pack getting screwed by the corporatists, hes getting eviscerated by a bunch of Cretin apparatchiks at all levels of government
The good news is that the end is near.
