Health insurance… mother fucking health insurance.
The FEHB is some of the best health insurance there is…. I know folks who are only still doing their fed job to continue access to the great insurance.
And you get to keep it for the rest of your life if you retire. I believe you pay the premium through your annuity.
Strong unions yet it’s the president that decides to give a pay raise? I don’t know how your union works but over here our raises are included in our collective agreement and the government can’t decide to not give them to us…
These raises that make the news are the cost of living adjustments or the COLA. They happen annually at the beginning of the calendar year and are intended to adjust salaries for year over year inflation. It’s not related to any sort of performance or merit based pay increases.
Ok but I’m talking about annual pay increases that are part of the collective agreement and negotiated with the union, not performance or merit pay increases…
Are the unions still strong? When SCOTUS ruled against mandatory membership for public employee unions a few years ago I thought they might take a hit.
It’s not just salary for government workers. We get great benefits and strong unions. Also you know what your going to be making

The enrollment rate is pretty high, I’m pretty sure it’s close to 85% in my area.
