I live in DC where a one bedroom condo can cost $400,000. I made 2-3 time more in private practice, but I much prefer the service aspect of working for the government. I am not overpaid and YES, like all FS workers, I regularly work overtime without compensation. Freezing the salaries is all about optics. I just hope I can get comp time - ha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-89922817920005394722010-12-06T03:39:15.659-05:002010-12-06T03:39:15.659-05:00I have never been surrounded by more educated AND ...I have never been surrounded by more educated AND experienced folk than when hanging out with a group of federal workers (or their spouses for that matter). Federal workers also tend to have this drive to serve, which is lucky for all of us, as most aren't paid what they are worth, and if these good folk worked only to earn, not just to accomplish good work, then they'd all leave for the private sector and higher salaries. Just my two cents, not much of a bonus though, sorry...Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31417199.post-31594684269165390222010-12-05T23:40:54.343-05:002010-12-05T23:40:54.343-05:00I agree...I agree...ForeignObsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963979060158005228noreply@blogger.com
