Re: What happened to: Republican plan to cut Federal Workers, Pay, Retirement

your comments are spot on! All of us can concurr to this, but there within lies the problem, because if we all honestly told the horror stories of mis-management and waste and non-compliance of those Bed-Rock standards of a federal employee.. Maybe this needs its own thread!

thanks Maggie, it works beautifully! hmm, no surprises there for me. we'd been told to plan for 10% cut.

Oh its already on its way. I joined the army during wartime, while they were (openly) in serious need of people for future ops. Now theyre talking about cutting 50,000 soldiers along with wage freezes.
Meanwhile, theyre still concentrating on 3 new camo patterns, more rugged boots, new titanium M240 machine guns, and smart phones for every soldier.
This isnt a rant....just my observation of how this gov operates as smooth as a monkey f*'ing a football.
"The far side" should do a comical analogy of congress on the NYSE yelling - Hire! Hire! Hire! (15 minutes later), Fire! Fire! Fire!

German U-Boat Captains called it the 'Happy Times'.

I hope the Democrats can get the knife to the DOD as well.

There is so much fat the animal will not even know its been cut.

Found it, Allfishegg - go to the bottom of this Appropriation Commitee page for link to the proposed budget cuts. Unfortunately not by department, it's by sub-commitee bill

Should be interesting.

Agriculture/FDA cut by 14%.
Justice dept and Commerce cut by 16%
and the Transportation Dept cut by 17%.

No doubt that's not a paring knife, that's definitely a meat cleaver.

Thanx for the link...Now I just wish I could see into the future and figure out "who" will be the ones who get the ax ....I do no one thing is certain, they will not start from the top then work down. No no no SIR..They will definately start at the bottom.

My agency has added so many new management and salaried positions in the last few years...Heck they started a new department about 3 years ago, then found out that the managers they hired basically stunk so they wanted to get new managers, what did they do you ask?, they just promoted about 10 new "managers" and the old managers they just shuffled to other departments to shuffle papers all day long while making about 80 big ones a year to do it, so go figure......

I made some personal jabs on the above referenced thread. No excuse for that. My bad.

I am quite happy with my current pay structure.
 
What happened to: Republican plan to cut Federal Workers, Pay, Retirement

I looked for the thread on the other site. Could not find it. Did the thread die or am I just unable to find it?

Just a thought, there should be an easy to find thread that deals with federal pay and benefits issues. This willlikely be a popular topic with this crowd. It was difficult for me to find this issue on either site.
 
Yup FWM. You got me. You only stated you might apply for a 14 position on a different board.

So you are a GS-13 cloud reader. Cool Good luck on that 14 position. Only, if you are going to make so many statements about .gov workers being the source of the budget problem, quit. And see if you can give your retirement annuity back. Someone somewhere will appreciate it.

...Steel_m or whatever identity you have assumed these days, not everyone is as talented and indispensible as you say you are. Your statement about 7x makes me wonder if that may be the reason all the contractors in my little corner of fedworld that recently retired and came back in to the same job state they are forbidden to discuss salaries.
Not saying here if anyone is right or wrong, just saying all of us are not on either of your self proclaimed trains. Many of us aren't a GS-14 weather forcaster expert or a couldabeen 14 now 11(?) one of a kind finance expert...
Some of us are looking at about 40k per year, if we are lucky. That still is not too shabby based on other's futures.

Stop whining so much and pretending you are so liberal. If you believe so much in the redistribution of wealth, give it all to charity.

PO, I sent you details in a PM. I am NOT a one-of-a-kind "financial expert." I am a one-of-a-kind "resource management/visitor services/marketing/accounting/hospitality law expert." That has been stipulated by courts.

And I take exception to the assertion that I am "whining so much and pretending [I am] so liberal."

I whine because my spine is coming apart. I don't whine about my government retirement. Because I count my blessings every day that I have a disability retirement income and health insurance.

And I don't pretend that I am liberal. I don't pretend anything. I admire and request civil discourse. You need to quit asserting things that are not so. I thought better of you than that.

Hmmmmm. Ineresting discussions and assumptions about TSP earnings, top three (five likely) pay and SS.

FWM, many of us are not going to have 30+ years. Many of us came late to the "gravy train". If you are so happy about your GS-14 grade and the FERS (assuming you are FERS and not CSRS) why do you post so much about how we as feds are taking an unfair share of the entitlement pie?
