Biden Choked the Chickens

A lot of government jobs are low skill. How much education or skill do you think it takes to work at the ID card facility? You could train a monkey to do it in about 20 minutes.

There is a lot of bloat and redundancy in government work. If a person can afford to "work from home" for five years, how much value do they add? At our HQ, people have been working from home for a little over four years. When you try to reach item managers and such, they rarely answer the phone. When they do you hear the TV blaring, babies crying, dogs barking and the person you do reach keeps having to say "Hold on" while they yell at their kids, get them a snack, **** like that.

We have a person working in Georgia while claiming she is living in Michigan because Michigan has a higher locality pay this making her salary higher. And she's not the only one.

But to answer your question, probably not. They'll get paid more on the government dole.
Ever notice that people that act like they know more than everyone else, even though others have personal experience in any given field, don't really know that much at all?

Yes. Especially when they’re in Congress and display it on TV for all to see.

those people are identified with the (D) after their name.

I'm not sure he was doing that in his response to me. I think he just misunderstands the education level of the average federal worker and the type of work they do. Reading this board over the years, he's certainly not the only one. Sure, some federal jobs are simple, redundant and probably not needed. At the same time, there are some that are critical, complex and absolutely vital to this nation. So he's not entirely wrong. There are plenty of college educated federal workers, but they are definitely in the minority. By a lot.
 
NSA was recruiting us non-college degree Airmen out of Langley AFB with our work on SIPRnet. no degree needed and the pay was eye popping. I just didn't want to live in the DC area.

Well, if you are a federal employee, DC is the place to be. One of the best locality pays in the nation.

Oh yeah, by far. I'm an avid outdoorsman and I need woods and fields. I hate city life.
