    Default FEDERAL EMPLOYEE MORALE AT ALL TIME LOW

    New article today on Huffington Post:


    Federal Employee Morale Hits Record Low

    WASHINGTON -- Budget cuts and forced furloughs have taken a toll on federal workers, with job satisfaction at a record low in a new government-wide survey.

    "We are dismantling the capability of our government by the way it's being managed, and the people in government are giving that message back. ... It should be really worrisome to anyone who cares about our country," said Max Stier, president and CEO of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, which produced a report on the survey.

    The Office of Personnel Management surveys workers across the government annually about their satisfaction at work. This year, nearly 400,000 people participated from April through June, just as sequestration's furloughs were hitting many workers.

    We're not happy, till your not happy.

    It's hitting the military too. Retirees are taking a hit on their pensions and active duty have to fill in for furloughed civilians.

    I'm happy I have a job.

    The retiree cuts are just the tip of the iceberg. I see Obama throwing retirees off TRICARE and into the exchanges.

    POTUS's SECDEF already hinted at working age retirees taking their employer plans to save DoD money.
    In Dog Beers I've only had two.

    Problem is, there are probably hundreds of thousands of people willing to take our jobs for less money. If you're unhappy now, try unemployment. They'll give you free money for about 99 weeks nowadays, but good luck getting hired after that time.
    God bless the United States of America!

    "Virtually no one has both a defined benefit and a defined contribution retirement system in the private sector...we wouldn’t eliminate it, but we would make the employer (taxpayer) subsidy less generous.” Eric Cantor said of FERS pension.

    Rand Paul says he does not want "taxpayers subsidizing the personal health-care plans of any federal employee, including Obamacare proponent Chief Justice John Roberts."

    "Right now, federal employees earn substantially more than the private sector does. I don't think there is any entitlement to take our tax dollars and to live in a privileged condition being a federal employee." Ted Cruz said

    If I were you and felt that way I would quit and go to work at McDonald's. You are getting paid much more than you are worth. You don't deserve the pay you are getting and your benefits are way out of line. We are not to increase the pay and benefits of the poor but we are going to cut your pay and benefits no mater what your technical abilities and education are.
