Yall arent hard to fire?
Government employees are a mess because there is no real accountability...who is over their heads worried about the customer/profits? Its bureaucracy everywhere.
What do you do for the government?
I work for the TSA and we are worried about passengers and budgetary issues.

there are a good amount of high paying jobs...you just have to be worth it.Maybe the real problem is that the private sector should be paying their rank and file more money.
But of course the average American idiot is a crab trying to pull someone DOWN to their level. That's what this nation has been reduced to.
Nobody is going to pay you out the ass to take an order, or do something a computer can do faster.
Its common sense.
Imagine if people werent concerned w/ drug officials and their jobs...or all the free money the military gets...we would probably already be done w/ "the war on drugs".
Here we go with the bootstraps economics lecture,

One of the biggest myths in the entire history of man. Also extremely ignorant of current news:

I'm sure those engineers and computer scientists, most of whom who have masters and PhDs, and extremely valuable skills and experience, should instead ALL become CEOs.
So private companies don't use Federal tax dollars? Man, get the fukk out.
I'm a Federal employee and the last thing I am is overpaid and hard to fire.
Might be true for you, but to me with the experiences I've had across several agencies, it seems like a ridiculous statement. The stories I could tell of these lazy overpaid government sloths who engage in the most ridiculous of behavior with only so much as a slap on the wrist.
I joked about this in the DEA-Facebook thread, but I was serious. . . when you fukk up, especially as a higher up, you retire early with a full pension or you're moved to another low-profile office with a promotion.
And workers are paid too much because raises are more so a mandatory formality as long as you've jumped hoops to qualify for the next GS level. I never saw merit raises that were truly merited by outstanding work.
After one year on the job, my salary increased $12,000 and I spent the majority of my time reading magazines. I did almost no work and that wasn't by choice. I shot the shyt every day with a group of guys that acted more like a fraternity than a group of professionals.

thats nice. but from now on add your own opinion in the OP so the thread doesn't go a million places
That's kind of the idea. I prefer the conversation to grow naturally on its own without a push in one direction or the other.

I'm pretty much where @scrilla is.
and@ the "more like the private sector is underpaid" comment. Those third party value assessments get me every time.
It is underpaid.
Ignore facts brehs.

exactly...nobody.
Everyone in government is mostly concerned w/ keeping their position.
The only time you will see someone in government lose their position/job is if someone gets exposed (and even then, there is a fall guy), or if someone in that position goes against the grain.
Otherwise, they are all just trying to maintain the status quo.
Unfortunately they only know how to fix problems by throwing more money at the issue..which makes it easier for people & corporations to take advantage.
Oh you mean in relation to the top 1-5%
That's an interesting way of assessing ones market value.

HAS A PRIVATE SECTOR INDUSTRY EVER DEVELOPED A NEW PRODUCT WITHOUT SPENDING R&D MONEY, DUDE?
