I am in a "temporary" job 42+ hours per week, 52 weeks a year. My position is expected to last for 7-8 years. No health care, no vacation, no pension, no sick days...nothing.
That having been said. Seriously, I am proud to be working for the agency I am employed with. I am proud of my job and the work we are doing for the country.
Dear XRdsRev,
"I am in a 'temporary' job 42+ hours per week, 52 weeks a year. My position is expected to last for 7-8 years. No health care, no vacation, no pension, no sick days...nothing."
Having lived here since 1966 (when my father took a government job), and having done federal contracting for most of the last 15 years, I've only known two other folks with one of those "temporary" positions.
It seems to me that the trend for the government is to outsource that kind of thing. Makes it easy to get rid of folks they don't like.
