$400 million is a tiny amount. Federal employees’ award amounts are a much smaller percentage of their benefit outlays than anything you find in the private sector.
But the big, fat pension, with COLA’s and lifetime health insurance for producing nothing is still pretty good.
I beg to differ...the private sector doesn't give out bonuses via our tax dollars.
In this Economic recession, you'd think bonuses and cost of living allowances would be frozen!
It’s not the amount - it’s the hypocrisy.
“...$400 million is a tiny amount. Federal employees’ award
amounts are a much smaller percentage of their benefit outlays
than anything you find in the private sector...”
-
The private sector has frozen salaries.
The private sector has eliminated bonuses.
The private sector has layed off workers.
I suspect you work for my broke-ass Uncle Sam.
“$400 million is a tiny amount. Federal employees’ award amounts are a much smaller percentage of their benefit outlays than anything you find in the private sector.”
The basta*ds don’t deserve any bonus do they? They deserve 30% pay cuts and 50% benefit cuts...but you understand that don’t you?
This rotten government has to go!
Why are public sector employees getting bonuses at all? I was in the Navy for 13 years and didn’t get a bonus. Want a bonus? Get a job contributing to the economy.
“$400 million is a tiny amount.”
For Obama, this is “small change” you can believe in.
I don’t know. This was in 2009, might be from Bush-era legislation, and air traffic controllers should get bonuses if they do a good job. To really bust this open would require deep study.
Heading off for low-hanging fruit, which is everywhere.
