God Bless America, where people in the private sector are taking pay cuts just to keep a job and our government representatives keep their pay increase on schedule and more.
I am also making the prediction when it comes time to vote on a pay increase it will not happen and they will all sing the song of how they are making sacrifices. |

WE ARE HEADED OFF A FISCAL CLIFF, 16.4 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT, AND THIS JACKASS IS HANDING OUT RAISES??? JOE BIDEN GETS AN EXTRA 6 GRAND????WTF??
What the hell for? It sure the hell ain't a performance raise. If you were the CEO of a business that was losing 1.6 TRILLION dollars every year, would you be handing out raises? This is beyond bizarre, it is no less than thievery.

As discussed in the other thread about this topic, it isn't a pay raise, it is the removal of a 2010 order to freeze pay. I'm not saying I agree that either one is something that a President should be able to do with an EO, but I am not so sure this is all what you think it is. |

Came here to post this With regard to the executive branch, my understanding is if the rate was frozen at 2010 rates by executive order, this would have meant that congress voted the president the ability to pay a higher rate. Nobody in either the juducial or executive branches can do anything regarding money without the appropriation from congress first. I'm now a gov civilian. I understood why the rate was frozen in 2010. If the freeze continued, I wouldn't complain about it, but I'm not going to feel guilty about cashing my check with the cola either. Believe it or not, anti gov fist shaking doesn't change the fact that some of us actually earn our pay. If it makes you feel better, a lot of agencies are doing mandatory unpaid furlough days and layoffs. |

Gotta pay for that $8.00 gallon of milk somehow.
The sammich maker just got back from a month and a half FEMA deployment. Worked 7 days a week/14 hours a day. I think it's like any other workplace, the "hands and feet" do the work. It's the layers of admistrative "supervisors" that are the problem. |

Looks like we need to have some people removed from office. It isn't gonna get better until people start showing them if they aren't gonna work in the highest favor for the public, they can GTFO.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they'd twist it around and call it treason to the country. |

It doesn't , the private sector has been making these sacrifices since 2007-2008 or have lost there jobs completely. Now Obama pulls this shit at the same time he wants to raise small business taxes. What a fucking cock! |

There needs to be some raises for at least some specific Federal workers. The Navy, for example, has been BLEEDING R&D engineers due to pay freezes. They have been leaving for private contractors. The Navy's solution? Tripwire. It's a rule that limits contract rates to no more than what an "equivelent" .mil engineer would cost. This effectively limits what the company can pay engineers working on the .mil contracts. The results? Fewer decent companies bidding on .mil contracts. My company has rearranged some overhead expenses to keep most of our guys under the limit, but we're looking at abandoning some of the contracts (not bidding on additional delivery orcders), becuase we won't be to retain our best engineers.
This problem will just get worse. Of course, one solution would be for the Navy to specifiy stupid rules like Tripwire, but that would be too easy... |

What a fucking cock! Not entirely true.... in my sector, we are having a hard time filling jobs. Last year, my companies revenues increased over 30%. If you're in the right business, there's losts of work. And frankly, we're having trouble finding the right people to do it. And when we do find them, they want to get PAID. We are actively moving away from .mil contracts due to rate limits. We still do some, but fewer. the .mil is going to have to use companies hiring the "C" students or the "engineers" no one else wants. Good luck with that. |
