"Right now the government workforce is undergoing A-76 where fed employees are bidding against the private sector for federal jobs. "
A-76 only rarely selects the non-gov't option. It's a BS process rarely used appropriately - but it does give gov't employees a sense of worth that is probably not deserved. It's almost never an apples to apples comparison. You are overpaid and underworked almost for certain.
Actually, I'm not a fed employee anymore. I'm now an evil freelance contractor.
My husband still works for the fed govt.
Given that he works about 1000 hours of OT in a given year, would you still say he's underworked?
Or are you so biased that anything to do with government service is considered immoral?
